Crate parselnk

Parse windows .lnk files using only safe rust. Windows lnk files describe links to data objects as defined by this specification.

Examples

You can process the Lnk data from a memory buffer that implements std::io::Read.

use parselnk::Lnk;
use std::convert::TryFrom;

let mut lnk_data: Vec<u8> = Vec::new();
// read your link into `lnk_data` here...
let lnk = Lnk::try_from(lnk_data);

Or you can process any Lnk on disk.

use parselnk::Lnk;
use std::convert::TryFrom;

let path = std::path::Path::new("c:\\users\\me\\shortcut.lnk");

let lnk = Lnk::try_from(path).unwrap();
