//! Loads an EDID file from the Linux `sysfs` and parses it.

#![cfg(target_os = "linux")]

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn core::error::Error>> {
    // let's parse an edid file from disk! on linux, each monitor has one
    // located on the `sysfs`!
    //
    // here's mine! you can find yours by `cat`-ing each `card<N-STUFF>` and
    // looking for files with gibberish in them .

    // now, load the file into a slice. make sure to use a method that returns
    // raw bytes! a string won't work for this.

    let parsed_edid = liboptic_edid::Edid::new(&bytes)?;
