Struct gdnative_bindings::os::OS

pub struct OS { /* fields omitted */ }

core singleton class OS inherits Object (unsafe).

Official documentation

See the documentation of this class in the Godot engine's official documentation. The method descriptions are generated from it and typically contain code samples in GDScript, not Rust.

Class hierarchy

OS inherits methods from:

• Object

Safety

All types in the Godot API have "interior mutability" in Rust parlance. To enforce that the official thread-safety guidelines are followed, the typestate pattern is used in the Ref and TRef smart pointers, and the Instance API. The typestate Access in these types tracks whether the access is unique, shared, or exclusive to the current thread. For more information, see the type-level documentation on Ref.

impl OS

pub fn godot_singleton() -> &'static Self

Returns a reference to the singleton instance.

pub fn alert(&self, text: impl Into<GodotString>, title: impl Into<GodotString>)

Displays a modal dialog box using the host OS' facilities. Execution is blocked until the dialog is closed.

Default Arguments

• title - "Alert!"

pub fn can_draw(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the host OS allows drawing.

pub fn can_use_threads(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the current host platform is using multiple threads.

pub fn center_window(&self)

Centers the window on the screen if in windowed mode.

pub fn close_midi_inputs(&self)

Shuts down system MIDI driver. Note: This method is implemented on Linux, macOS and Windows.

pub fn delay_msec(&self, msec: i64)

Delay execution of the current thread by msec milliseconds.

pub fn delay_usec(&self, usec: i64)

Delay execution of the current thread by usec microseconds.

pub fn dump_memory_to_file(&self, file: impl Into<GodotString>)

Dumps the memory allocation ringlist to a file (only works in debug). Entry format per line: "Address - Size - Description".

pub fn dump_resources_to_file(&self, file: impl Into<GodotString>)

Dumps all used resources to file (only works in debug). Entry format per line: "Resource Type : Resource Location". At the end of the file is a statistic of all used Resource Types.

pub fn execute(
    &self,
    path: impl Into<GodotString>,
    arguments: StringArray,
    blocking: bool,
    output: VariantArray,
    read_stderr: bool
) -> i64

Sample code is GDScript unless otherwise noted.

Execute the file at the given path with the arguments passed as an array of strings. Platform path resolution will take place. The resolved file must exist and be executable. The arguments are used in the given order and separated by a space, so OS.execute("ping", ["-w", "3", "godotengine.org"], false) will resolve to ping -w 3 godotengine.org in the system's shell. This method has slightly different behavior based on whether the blocking mode is enabled. If blocking is true, the Godot thread will pause its execution while waiting for the process to terminate. The shell output of the process will be written to the output array as a single string. When the process terminates, the Godot thread will resume execution. If blocking is false, the Godot thread will continue while the new process runs. It is not possible to retrieve the shell output in non-blocking mode, so output will be empty. The return value also depends on the blocking mode. When blocking, the method will return an exit code of the process. When non-blocking, the method returns a process ID, which you can use to monitor the process (and potentially terminate it with [method kill]). If the process forking (non-blocking) or opening (blocking) fails, the method will return -1 or another exit code. Example of blocking mode and retrieving the shell output:

var output = []
var exit_code = OS.execute("ls", ["-l", "/tmp"], true, output)

Example of non-blocking mode, running another instance of the project and storing its process ID:

var pid = OS.execute(OS.get_executable_path(), [], false)

If you wish to access a shell built-in or perform a composite command, a platform-specific shell can be invoked. For example:

OS.execute("CMD.exe", ["/C", "cd %TEMP% && dir"], true, output)

Note: This method is implemented on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS and Windows.

Default Arguments

• blocking - true
• output - [ ]
• read_stderr - false

pub fn get_cmdline_args(&self) -> StringArray

Sample code is GDScript unless otherwise noted.

You can also incorporate environment variables using the [method get_environment] method. You can set editor/main_run_args in the Project Settings to define command-line arguments to be passed by the editor when running the project. Here's a minimal example on how to parse command-line arguments into a dictionary using the --key=value form for arguments:

var arguments = {}
for argument in OS.get_cmdline_args():
    if argument.find("=") > -1:
        var key_value = argument.split("=")
        arguments[key_value[0].lstrip("--")] = key_value[1]

Sets the game's icon using a multi-size platform-specific icon file (*.ico on Windows and *.icns on macOS). Appropriate size sub-icons are used for window caption, taskbar/dock and window selection dialog. Note: This method is implemented on macOS and Windows.

pub fn set_screen_orientation(&self, orientation: i64)

The current screen orientation.

pub fn set_thread_name(&self, name: impl Into<GodotString>) -> GodotResult

Sets the name of the current thread.

pub fn set_use_file_access_save_and_swap(&self, enabled: bool)

Enables backup saves if enabled is true.

pub fn set_use_vsync(&self, enable: bool)

If true, vertical synchronization (Vsync) is enabled.

pub fn set_vsync_via_compositor(&self, enable: bool)

If true and vsync_enabled is true, the operating system's window compositor will be used for vsync when the compositor is enabled and the game is in windowed mode. Note: This option is experimental and meant to alleviate stutter experienced by some users. However, some users have experienced a Vsync framerate halving (e.g. from 60 FPS to 30 FPS) when using it. Note: This property is only implemented on Windows.

pub fn set_window_always_on_top(&self, enabled: bool)

Sets whether the window should always be on top. Note: This method is implemented on Linux, macOS and Windows.

pub fn set_window_fullscreen(&self, enabled: bool)

If true, the window is fullscreen.

pub fn set_window_maximized(&self, enabled: bool)

If true, the window is maximized.

pub fn set_window_minimized(&self, enabled: bool)

If true, the window is minimized.

pub fn set_window_per_pixel_transparency_enabled(&self, enabled: bool)

If true, the window background is transparent and window frame is removed. Use get_tree().get_root().set_transparent_background(true) to disable main viewport background rendering. Note: This property has no effect if Project > Project Settings > Display > Window > Per-pixel transparency > Allowed setting is disabled. Note: This property is implemented on HTML5, Linux, macOS and Windows.

pub fn set_window_position(&self, position: Vector2)

The window position relative to the screen, the origin is the top left corner, +Y axis goes to the bottom and +X axis goes to the right.

pub fn set_window_resizable(&self, enabled: bool)

If true, the window is resizable by the user.

pub fn set_window_size(&self, size: Vector2)

The size of the window (without counting window manager decorations).

pub fn set_window_title(&self, title: impl Into<GodotString>)

Sets the window title to the specified string. Note: This should be used sporadically. Don't set this every frame, as that will negatively affect performance on some window managers. Note: This method is implemented on HTML5, Linux, macOS and Windows.

pub fn shell_open(&self, uri: impl Into<GodotString>) -> GodotResult

Requests the OS to open a resource with the most appropriate program. For example:

• OS.shell_open("C:\\Users\name\Downloads") on Windows opens the file explorer at the user's Downloads folder.
• OS.shell_open("https://godotengine.org") opens the default web browser on the official Godot website.
• OS.shell_open("mailto:example@example.com") opens the default email client with the "To" field set to example@example.com. See [url=https://blog.escapecreative.com/customizing-mailto-links/]Customizing mailto: Links[/url] for a list of fields that can be added. Use [method ProjectSettings.globalize_path] to convert a res:// or user:// path into a system path for use with this method. Note: This method is implemented on Android, iOS, HTML5, Linux, macOS and Windows.

pub fn show_virtual_keyboard(
    &self,
    existing_text: impl Into<GodotString>,
    multiline: bool
)

Shows the virtual keyboard if the platform has one. The existing_text parameter is useful for implementing your own LineEdit or TextEdit, as it tells the virtual keyboard what text has already been typed (the virtual keyboard uses it for auto-correct and predictions). The multiline parameter needs to be set to true to be able to enter multiple lines of text, as in TextEdit. Note: This method is implemented on Android, iOS and UWP.

Default Arguments

• existing_text - ""
• multiline - false

pub fn add_user_signal(
    &self,
    signal: impl Into<GodotString>,
    arguments: VariantArray
)

Adds a user-defined signal. Arguments are optional, but can be added as an [Array] of dictionaries, each containing name: String and type: int (see [enum Variant.Type]) entries.

Default Arguments

• arguments - [ ]

pub unsafe fn call(
    &self,
    method: impl Into<GodotString>,
    varargs: &[Variant]
) -> Variant

Sample code is GDScript unless otherwise noted.

Calls the method on the object and returns the result. This method supports a variable number of arguments, so parameters are passed as a comma separated list. Example:

call("set", "position", Vector2(42.0, 0.0))

Note: In C#, the method name must be specified as snake_case if it is defined by a built-in Godot node. This doesn't apply to user-defined methods where you should use the same convention as in the C# source (typically PascalCase).

Safety

This function bypasses Rust's static type checks (aliasing, thread boundaries, calls to free(), ...).

pub unsafe fn call_deferred(
    &self,
    method: impl Into<GodotString>,
    varargs: &[Variant]
) -> Variant

Sample code is GDScript unless otherwise noted.

Calls the method on the object during idle time. This method supports a variable number of arguments, so parameters are passed as a comma separated list. Example:

call_deferred("set", "position", Vector2(42.0, 0.0))

Note: In C#, the method name must be specified as snake_case if it is defined by a built-in Godot node. This doesn't apply to user-defined methods where you should use the same convention as in the C# source (typically PascalCase).

Safety

This function bypasses Rust's static type checks (aliasing, thread boundaries, calls to free(), ...).

pub unsafe fn callv(
    &self,
    method: impl Into<GodotString>,
    arg_array: VariantArray
) -> Variant

Sample code is GDScript unless otherwise noted.

Calls the method on the object and returns the result. Contrarily to [method call], this method does not support a variable number of arguments but expects all parameters to be via a single [Array].

callv("set", [ "position", Vector2(42.0, 0.0) ])

Safety

This function bypasses Rust's static type checks (aliasing, thread boundaries, calls to free(), ...).

pub fn can_translate_messages(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the object can translate strings. See [method set_message_translation] and [method tr].

pub fn connect(
    &self,
    signal: impl Into<GodotString>,
    target: impl AsArg<Object>,
    method: impl Into<GodotString>,
    binds: VariantArray,
    flags: i64
) -> GodotResult

Sample code is GDScript unless otherwise noted.

Connects a signal to a method on a target object. Pass optional binds to the call as an [Array] of parameters. These parameters will be passed to the method after any parameter used in the call to [method emit_signal]. Use flags to set deferred or one-shot connections. See [enum ConnectFlags] constants. A signal can only be connected once to a method. It will throw an error if already connected, unless the signal was connected with [constant CONNECT_REFERENCE_COUNTED]. To avoid this, first, use [method is_connected] to check for existing connections. If the target is destroyed in the game's lifecycle, the connection will be lost. Examples:

connect("pressed", self, "_on_Button_pressed") # BaseButton signal
connect("text_entered", self, "_on_LineEdit_text_entered") # LineEdit signal
connect("hit", self, "_on_Player_hit", [ weapon_type, damage ]) # User-defined signal

An example of the relationship between binds passed to [method connect] and parameters used when calling [method emit_signal]:

connect("hit", self, "_on_Player_hit", [ weapon_type, damage ]) # weapon_type and damage are passed last
emit_signal("hit", "Dark lord", 5) # "Dark lord" and 5 are passed first
func _on_Player_hit(hit_by, level, weapon_type, damage):
    print("Hit by %s (lvl %d) with weapon %s for %d damage" % [hit_by, level, weapon_type, damage])

Default Arguments

• binds - [ ]
• flags - 0

pub fn disconnect(
    &self,
    signal: impl Into<GodotString>,
    target: impl AsArg<Object>,
    method: impl Into<GodotString>
)

Disconnects a signal from a method on the given target. If you try to disconnect a connection that does not exist, the method will throw an error. Use [method is_connected] to ensure that the connection exists.

pub fn emit_signal(
    &self,
    signal: impl Into<GodotString>,
    varargs: &[Variant]
) -> Variant

Sample code is GDScript unless otherwise noted.

Emits the given signal. The signal must exist, so it should be a built-in signal of this class or one of its parent classes, or a user-defined signal. This method supports a variable number of arguments, so parameters are passed as a comma separated list. Example:

emit_signal("hit", weapon_type, damage)
emit_signal("game_over")

pub fn get(&self, property: impl Into<GodotString>) -> Variant

Returns the Variant value of the given property. If the property doesn't exist, this will return null. Note: In C#, the property name must be specified as snake_case if it is defined by a built-in Godot node. This doesn't apply to user-defined properties where you should use the same convention as in the C# source (typically PascalCase).

pub fn get_class(&self) -> GodotString

Returns the object's class as a String.

pub fn get_incoming_connections(&self) -> VariantArray

Returns an [Array] of dictionaries with information about signals that are connected to the object. Each Dictionary contains three String entries:

• signal_name is the name of the connected signal.
• method_name is the name of the method to which the signal is connected.

pub fn get_indexed(&self, property: impl Into<NodePath>) -> Variant

Gets the object's property indexed by the given NodePath. The node path should be relative to the current object and can use the colon character (:) to access nested properties. Examples: "position:x" or "material:next_pass:blend_mode".

pub fn get_instance_id(&self) -> i64

Returns the object's unique instance ID. This ID can be saved in EncodedObjectAsID, and can be used to retrieve the object instance with [method @GDScript.instance_from_id].

pub fn get_meta(&self, name: impl Into<GodotString>) -> Variant

Returns the object's metadata entry for the given name.

pub fn get_meta_list(&self) -> StringArray

Returns the object's metadata as a [PoolStringArray].

pub fn get_method_list(&self) -> VariantArray

Returns the object's methods and their signatures as an [Array].

pub fn get_property_list(&self) -> VariantArray

Returns the object's property list as an [Array] of dictionaries. Each property's Dictionary contain at least name: String and type: int (see [enum Variant.Type]) entries. Optionally, it can also include hint: int (see [enum PropertyHint]), hint_string: String, and usage: int (see [enum PropertyUsageFlags]).

pub fn get_script(&self) -> Option<Ref<Reference, Shared>>

Returns the object's Script instance, or null if none is assigned.

pub fn get_signal_connection_list(
    &self,
    signal: impl Into<GodotString>
) -> VariantArray

Returns true if a metadata entry is found with the given name.

pub fn has_method(&self, method: impl Into<GodotString>) -> bool

Returns true if the object contains the given method.

pub fn has_signal(&self, signal: impl Into<GodotString>) -> bool

Returns true if the given signal exists.

pub fn has_user_signal(&self, signal: impl Into<GodotString>) -> bool

Returns true if the given user-defined signal exists. Only signals added using [method add_user_signal] are taken into account.

pub fn is_blocking_signals(&self) -> bool

Returns true if signal emission blocking is enabled.

pub fn is_class(&self, class: impl Into<GodotString>) -> bool

Returns true if the object inherits from the given class.

pub fn is_connected(
    &self,
    signal: impl Into<GodotString>,
    target: impl AsArg<Object>,
    method: impl Into<GodotString>
) -> bool

Returns true if a connection exists for a given signal, target, and method.

pub fn is_queued_for_deletion(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the [method Node.queue_free] method was called for the object.

pub fn notification(&self, what: i64, reversed: bool)

Send a given notification to the object, which will also trigger a call to the [method _notification] method of all classes that the object inherits from. If reversed is true, [method _notification] is called first on the object's own class, and then up to its successive parent classes. If reversed is false, [method _notification] is called first on the highest ancestor (Object itself), and then down to its successive inheriting classes.

Default Arguments

• reversed - false

pub fn property_list_changed_notify(&self)

Notify the editor that the property list has changed, so that editor plugins can take the new values into account. Does nothing on export builds.

pub fn remove_meta(&self, name: impl Into<GodotString>)

Removes a given entry from the object's metadata. See also [method set_meta].

pub fn set(&self, property: impl Into<GodotString>, value: impl OwnedToVariant)

Assigns a new value to the given property. If the property does not exist, nothing will happen. Note: In C#, the property name must be specified as snake_case if it is defined by a built-in Godot node. This doesn't apply to user-defined properties where you should use the same convention as in the C# source (typically PascalCase).

pub fn set_block_signals(&self, enable: bool)

If set to true, signal emission is blocked.

pub fn set_deferred(
    &self,
    property: impl Into<GodotString>,
    value: impl OwnedToVariant
)

Assigns a new value to the given property, after the current frame's physics step. This is equivalent to calling [method set] via [method call_deferred], i.e. call_deferred("set", property, value). Note: In C#, the property name must be specified as snake_case if it is defined by a built-in Godot node. This doesn't apply to user-defined properties where you should use the same convention as in the C# source (typically PascalCase).

pub fn set_indexed(
    &self,
    property: impl Into<NodePath>,
    value: impl OwnedToVariant
)

Sample code is GDScript unless otherwise noted.

Assigns a new value to the property identified by the NodePath. The node path should be relative to the current object and can use the colon character (:) to access nested properties. Example:

set_indexed("position", Vector2(42, 0))
set_indexed("position:y", -10)
print(position) # (42, -10)

pub fn set_message_translation(&self, enable: bool)

Defines whether the object can translate strings (with calls to [method tr]). Enabled by default.

pub fn set_meta(&self, name: impl Into<GodotString>, value: impl OwnedToVariant)

Adds, changes or removes a given entry in the object's metadata. Metadata are serialized and can take any Variant value. To remove a given entry from the object's metadata, use [method remove_meta]. Metadata is also removed if its value is set to null. This means you can also use set_meta("name", null) to remove metadata for "name".

pub fn set_script(&self, script: impl AsArg<Reference>)

Assigns a script to the object. Each object can have a single script assigned to it, which are used to extend its functionality. If the object already had a script, the previous script instance will be freed and its variables and state will be lost. The new script's [method _init] method will be called.

pub fn to_string(&self) -> GodotString

Returns a String representing the object. If not overridden, defaults to "[ClassName:RID]". Override the method [method _to_string] to customize the String representation.

pub fn tr(&self, message: impl Into<GodotString>) -> GodotString

Translates a message using translation catalogs configured in the Project Settings. Only works if message translation is enabled (which it is by default), otherwise it returns the message unchanged. See [method set_message_translation].
