libswisseph-sys

Rust system wrapper for the swisseph C library

Ephemeris files

Ephemeris files are excluded from this crate so that it fits on crates.io. There are standard standard ephemeris files located in the swisseph c library and there are many more that can be included depending on the desired calculation. For example: astroids, JPL, etc.

The ephemeris path with default to and can be set as described in the swisseph C library. See https://github.com/aloistr/swisseph/ for further details.

Example usage

use libswisseph_sys::*;
let mut xx: [f64; 6] = [0.0; 6];
let mut serr = [0; 256];

let y = 2002;
let m = 1;
let d = 1;
let h = 0.0;
let i_flag = SE_GREG_CAL as i32;

let tjd_ut = swe_julday(y, m, d, h, i_flag);
let ipl = SE_SUN as i32;
swe_calc_ut(
    tjd_ut, 
    ipl, 
    SEFLG_SPEED as i32, 
    xx.as_mut_ptr(), 
    serr.as_mut_ptr(),
);

let _lng = xx[0];
let _lat = xx[1];
let _speed = xx[3];

TODO

See if bindgen can generate more ergonomic integer types. There is some discrepancy between signed and unsigned types for functions and constants.
There are a couple of header files that are not included because of overlapping function names
