interface-rs

A Rust library for parsing and manipulating an interfaces(5) file.

This library provides structs and functions to load, parse, modify, and save network interface configurations in the Debian-style interfaces(5) file format. This file is typically found at /etc/network/interfaces on Debian-based systems but may be located elsewhere depending on your system configuration.

Features

• Load and parse existing configurations from an interfaces(5) file.
• Modify interface configurations programmatically.
• Save changes back to the file system.

Example

use interface_rs::NetworkInterfaces;
use interface_rs::interface::{Interface, Family};

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
// Load the interfaces file
let mut net_ifaces = NetworkInterfaces::load("/path/to/interfaces")?;

// Add a new interface
let new_iface = Interface {
name: "eth2".to_string(),
auto: true,
allow: vec!["hotplug".to_string()],
family: Some(Family::Inet),
method: Some("static".to_string()),
options: vec![
("address".to_string(), "192.168.1.100".to_string()),
("netmask".to_string(), "255.255.255.0".to_string()),
],
mapping: None,
};
net_ifaces.add_interface(new_iface);

// Save changes
net_ifaces.save()?;

Ok(())
}
