Crate libblkid_rs

libblkid-rs

libblkid_rs provides programmatic access in Rust to the C library libblkid.

Design

The organization of the modules reflects the organization of the modules in the C library. The main goal of this library is to maintain the same general structure while taking advantage of Rust idioms.

List of methods modified

• blkid_devno_to_wholedisk - This bindings method handles the buffer internally and therefore does not require a buffer argument. The limit for the maximum size of the returned device name is 4096 bytes. Please open an issue if more characters are required.
• blkid_get_dev_size - This method takes a &Path in the bindings and provides libblkid with the desired file descriptor.

Functions

encode_string

Encode potentially unsafe characters in the given string parameter.

evaluate_spec

Find the path of a device matching an unparsed tag or a path to a device mapper node such as /dev/dm-0

evaluate_tag

Find the path of a device matching a tag

get_library_version

Get library version

get_partition_name
