1//! # livedisk
2//!
3//! Cross-platform enumeration of the **live system's** physical disks and
4//! partitions — `diskutil list` / `lsblk` / `diskpart`, but as a library with
5//! one unified model across macOS, Linux, and Windows.
6//!
7//! ```no_run
8//! for disk in livedisk::enumerate()? {
9//! println!("{} — {}", disk.name, livedisk::human_size(disk.size_bytes));
10//! for part in &disk.partitions {
11//! println!(" {} {}", part.name, livedisk::human_size(part.size_bytes));
12//! }
13//! }
14//! # Ok::<(), livedisk::Error>(())
15//! ```
16//!
17//! Discovery is the only OS-specific part. Each backend (sysfs on Linux, the
18//! `IOKit` `IOMedia` registry on macOS, `DeviceIoControl` on Windows) fills the
19//! same [`PhysicalDisk`]/[`Partition`] structs; everything downstream — the
20//! [`render_overview`] bar chart, the per-disk [`render_disk_bar`], the
21//! [`render_listing`] view, and the JSON form — is platform-agnostic.
22//!
23//! [`open_device`] opens a chosen device node as a sized `Read + Seek` so a
24//! partition/filesystem analyzer can run on the live disk exactly as it would on
25//! an image file.
26//!
27//! Listing layout/metadata works **unprivileged** on all three platforms (it
28//! reads the kernel's device registry, not raw sectors); only *reading a device*
29//! needs root/Administrator. Backends therefore never silently return an empty
30//! list on a permission problem — they surface [`Error`].
