## Overview


Library for detecting the operating system type and version.

Based on [os_type](https://github.com/schultyy/os_type) by Jan Schulte. The main difference of `os_info` is that this library separates completely incompatible operating systems by conditional compilation.

## Usage


To use this crate, add `os_info` as a dependency to your project's Cargo.toml:

```toml
[dependencies]
os_info = "0.4.0"
```

## Example


```rust
extern crate os_info;

let os = os_info::get();

// Print full information:
println!("OS information: {}", info);

// Print information separately:
println!("Type: {}", info.os_type());
println!("Version: {}", info.version());
```

Right now, the following operating system types can be returned:
- Unknown
- Redhat
- CentOS
- OSX
- Ubuntu
- Debian
- Arch
- Redox

If you need support for more OS types, I am looking forward to your Pull Request.

## Requirements


On Linux based systems this library requires that [lsb_release](http://refspecs.linuxbase.org/LSB_2.0.1/LSB-PDA/LSB-PDA/lsbrelease.html) is installed.
