proc-connector 0.1.5

A safe, modern Rust wrapper for the Linux Process Event Connector (netlink PROC_EVENT_*)
Documentation
//! Process event types from the Linux Proc Connector.
//!
//! This module contains the `ProcEvent` enum and its `Display` implementation.

use std::fmt;

/// A parsed process event from the Linux Proc Connector.
///
/// Each variant corresponds to a `PROC_EVENT_*` constant from
/// `<linux/cn_proc.h>`, with all relevant fields extracted into
/// named fields.
///
/// The `Unknown` variant provides forward compatibility: if the kernel
/// emits an event type this version of the library does not know about,
/// it is returned as `Unknown` with the raw payload.
///
