Crate platform_info 

platform-info

A simple cross-platform way to get information about the currently running system.

Examples

This simple example:

// examples/ex.rs
// * use `cargo run --example ex` to execute this example

// spell-checker:ignore (API) nodename osname sysname

use platform_info::*;

fn main() {
    let info = PlatformInfo::new().expect("Unable to determine platform info");
    // println!("info={:#?}", info);

    println!("{}", info.sysname().to_string_lossy());
    println!("{}", info.nodename().to_string_lossy());
    println!("{}", info.release().to_string_lossy());
    println!("{}", info.version().to_string_lossy());
    println!("{}", info.machine().to_string_lossy());
    println!("{}", info.processor().to_string_lossy());
    println!("{}", info.osname().to_string_lossy());
}

should display something like:

Linux
hostname
5.10.0-8-amd64
#1 SMP Debian 5.10.46-4 (2021-08-03)
x86_64
x86_64
GNU/Linux

Using cargo run --example ex will build and execute this example code.

WASI

To cross-compile and run the example under WASI, first install wasmtime:

curl https://wasmtime.dev/install.sh -sSf | bash

Then build and run:

cargo build --target wasm32-wasip1 --example ex
wasmtime target/wasm32-wasip1/debug/examples/ex.wasm

This should display:

wasi
localhost
0.0.0
0.0.0
wasm32
wasm32
WASI

Other examples can be found in the examples directory.

Structs

PlatformInfo

Handles initial retrieval and holds cached information for the current platform (a Unix-like OS in this case).

UTSName

Contains information about the current computer system.

Traits

PlatformInfoAPI

Defines the full API for PlatformInfo.

UNameAPI

Defines a trait API providing uname (aka “Unix name”) style platform information.

Type Aliases

PlatformInfoError

The common error type for PlatformInfoAPI. Standard thread-safe error type (boxed to allow translation for any std::error::Error type)
