Crate nix

Expand description

Rust friendly bindings to the various *nix system functions.

Modules are structured according to the C header file that they would be defined in.

Re-exports

pub use libc;

Modules

Environment variables
Feature tests for OS functionality
Query network interface addresses
Load and unload kernel modules.
Mount file systems
Functionality involving network interfaces
Wait for events to trigger on specific file descriptors
Create master and slave virtual pseudo-terminals (PTYs)
Execution scheduling
Mostly platform-specific functionality
Safe wrappers around functions found in libc “unistd.h” header

Macros
