//! Safe bindings for the Windows Notification Facility
//!
//! The *Windows Notification Facility (WNF)* is a registrationless publisher/subscriber mechanism that was introduced
//! in Windows 8 and forms an undocumented part of the Windows API.
//!
//! This crate provides safe Rust abstractions over (a part of) this API. If you are looking for raw bindings to the
//! API, take a look at the [`ntapi`](https://docs.rs/ntapi/latest/ntapi/) crate.
//!
//! Note that while great care was taken in making these abstractions memory-safe, there cannot be a guarantee due to
//! the undocumented nature of the API.
//!
//! This is a Windows-only crate and will fail to compile on other platforms. If you target multiple platforms, it is
//! recommended that you declare it as a
//! [platform specific dependency](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/specifying-dependencies.html#platform-specific-dependencies).
//!
//! # How WNF works
//!
//! WNF is built upon the core concept of a *state name*. Processes can publish to and subscribe to a state name,
//! represented by a 64-bit identifier. In this crate, in order to distinguish between such an identifier and the actual
//! operating system object it represents, we call the identifier a *state name*, while the underlying object will be
//! referred to as a *state*.
//!
//! A state can have different *lifetimes*:
//! - A *well-known* state is provisioned with the system and cannot be created or deleted.
//! - A *permanent* state can be created and stays alive even across system reboots until it is explicitly deleted.
//! - A *persistent* or *volatile* state can be created and stays alive until the next system reboot or until it is
//! explicitly deleted.
//! - A *temporary* state can be created and stays alive until the process it was created from exits or until it is
//! explicitly deleted.
//!
//! For details, see [`StateLifetime`].
//!
//! A state has an associated payload, called the *state data* or *state value*, of up to 4 KB in size. Processes can
//! query and update these data and subscribe to changes of the data. Furthermore, a state has an associated *change
//! stamp*, which starts at zero when the state is created and increases by one on every update of the data.
//!
//! A state that lives across system reboots (i.e. with *well-known* or *permanent* lifetime) can be configured to
//! persist its data across reboots. Otherwise, the state itself stays alive but its data is reset on reboots.
//!
//! A state can have different *data scopes* that control whether it maintains multiple independent instances of its
//! data that are scoped in different ways. See [`DataScope`] for the available options.
//!
//! A state can have an associated *type id*, which is a GUID that identifies the type of the data. While WNF does not
//! maintain a registry of types itself, it can ensure that state data are only updated if the correct type id is
//! provided. This can be useful if you maintain your own type registry or just want to avoid accidental updates with
//! invalid data.
//!
//! Access to a state is secured by a standard
//! [Windows Security Descriptor](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/secauthz/security-descriptors). In
//! addition, creating a *permanent* or *persistent* state or a state with *process* scope requires the
//! `SeCreatePermanentPrivilege` privilege.
//!
//! The WNF mechanism, though officially undocumented, has been described by various sources. Its API is part of the
//! Windows Native API exposed through `ntdll.dll` and has been (partly) reverse engineered and described. For details,
//! refer to these sources:
//! - [A. Allievi et al.: Windows Internals, Part 2, 7th Edition](https://www.microsoftpressstore.com/store/windows-internals-part-2-9780135462331),

//! - [A. Ionescu, G. Viala: WNF Utilities 4 Newbies (WNFUN)](https://github.com/ionescu007/wnfun), including a list of

//!
//! # What this crate offers
//!
//! This crate provides memory-safe abstractions over most of the WNF API to accomplish these tasks:
//! - Create and delete a state
//! - Query information on a state
//! - Query and update state data
//! - Subscribe to state data
//!
//! Subscribing uses higher-level functions from `ntdll.dll` whose names start with `Rtl`, standing for *runtime
//! library*:
//! - `RtlSubscribeWnfStateChangeNotification`
//! - `RtlUnsubscribeWnfStateChangeNotification`
//!
//! The other features use more low-level functions from `ntdll.dll` whose names start with `Nt*`:
//! - `NtCreateWnfStateName`
//! - `NtDeleteWnfStateName`
//! - `NtQueryWnfStateNameInformation`
//! - `NtQueryWnfStateData`
//! - `NtUpdateWnfStateData`
//!
//! In addition, this crate provides some higher-level abstractions:
//! - Apply a transformation to state data
//! - Replace state data
//! - Wait for updates of state data (in both blocking and async variants)
//! - Wait until state data satisfy a certain condition (in both blocking and async variants)
//!
//! The following WNF features are currently not supported:
//! - Subscriptions in meta-notification mode, i.e. subscribing to consumers becoming active or inactive or publishers
//! terminating
//! - Event aggregation through the *Common Event Aggregator* to subscribe to updates of one out of multiple states
//! - Kernel mode
//!
//! # Representing states
//!
//! There are two types in this crate that represent states: [`OwnedState<T>`] and [`BorrowedState<'_,
//! T>`](BorrowedState). They work in a similar way as the [`OwnedHandle`](std::os::windows::io::OwnedHandle) and
//! [`BorrowedHandle<'_>`](std::os::windows::io::BorrowedHandle) types from the standard library:
//! - An [`OwnedState<T>`] has no lifetime, does not implement [`Copy`] or [`Clone`] and deletes the represented state
//! on drop.
//! - A [`BorrowedState<'_, T>`](BorrowedState) has a lifetime, implements [`Copy`] and [`Clone`] and does *not* delete
//! the represented state on drop.
//!
//! Note that copying/cloning a [`BorrowedState<'_, T>`](BorrowedState) just copies the borrow, returning another borrow
//! of the same underlying state, rather than cloning the state itself.
//!
//! You can abstract over ownership (i.e. whether a state is owned or borrowed) through the [`AsState`] trait and its
//! [`as_state`](AsState::as_state) method. This trait is similar to the [`AsHandle`](std::os::windows::io::AsHandle)
//! trait in the standard library and is implemented by both [`OwnedState<T>`] and [`BorrowedState<'_,
//! T>`](BorrowedState) as well as any type that derefs to one of these types. Calling [`as_state`](AsState::as_state)
//! on an [`OwnedState<T>`] borrows it as a [`BorrowedState<'_, T>`](BorrowedState) while calling it on a
//! [`BorrowedState<'_, T>`](BorrowedState) just copies the borrow.
//!
//! You can obtain an instance of [`OwnedState<T>`] or [`BorrowedState<'_, T>`](BorrowedState) in the following ways:
//! - Create a new owned state through the [`StateCreation::create_owned`] method<br> This is common for temporary
//! states, for which there is also the [`OwnedState::create_temporary`] shortcut method.
//! - Create a new state and statically borrow it through the [`StateCreation::create_static`] method<br> This is common
//! for permanent or persistent states.
//! - Statically borrow an existing state through the [`BorrowedState::from_state_name`] method<br> This is common for
//! well-known states.
//!
//! An owned state can be "leaked" as a statically borrowed state through the [`OwnedState::leak`] method, while a
//! borrowed state can be turned into an owned state through the [`BorrowedState::to_owned_state`] method.
//!
//! # Representing state data
//!
//! The types [`OwnedState<T>`] and [`BorrowedState<'_, T>`](BorrowedState) are generic over a type `T` that describes
//! the shape of the data associated with the state.
//!
//! The state types themselves impose no trait bounds on the data type. However, in order for querying or updating state
//! data to be memory-safe, the data type needs to satisfy certain conditions:
//! - Querying state data as a `T` requires that any byte slice whose length is the size of `T` represent a valid `T` or
//! that it can at least be checked at runtime whether it represents a valid `T`.
//! - Updating state data from a `T` requires that the type `T` contain no uninitialized (i.e. padding) bytes.
//!
//! These conditions cannot be checked at runtime and hence need to be encoded in the type system.
//!
//! Note that querying state data as a `T` also requires that the size of the state data match the size of `T` in the
//! first place, but this condition can be checked at runtime. In fact, the data type can also be a slice type `[T]`, in
//! which case the size of the state data is required to be a multiple of the size of `T`.
//!
//! Defining how to properly encode the above conditions in the type system is part of the scope of the
//! [Project "safe transmute"](https://github.com/rust-lang/project-safe-transmute), which is still in
//! [RFC](https://github.com/jswrenn/project-safe-transmute/blob/rfc/rfcs/0000-safe-transmute.md#safe-transmute-rfc)
//! stage. However, there are various third-party crates that define (unsafe) traits encoding the above conditions,
//! among them being the [bytemuck](https://docs.rs/bytemuck/1/bytemuck) and
//! [zerocopy](https://docs.rs/zerocopy/0/zerocopy) crates. Both of them implement the appropriate traits for many
//! standard types and also provide macros to derive them for your own types, checking at compile-time whether a type
//! satisfies the necessary conditions and enabling you to avoid unsafe code in most cases.
//!
//! The `wnf` crate does not have a hard dependency on any of these crates. Instead, it defines its own
//! (unsafe) traits that are modelled after the traits from the [bytemuck](https://docs.rs/bytemuck/1/bytemuck) crate
//! with the same names:
//! - [`AnyBitPattern`] and [`CheckedBitPattern`] encode the requirements for querying state data
//! - [`NoUninit`] encodes the requirements for updating state data
//!
//! These traits are already implemented for many standard types. In case your code already makes use of one of the
//! [bytemuck](https://docs.rs/bytemuck/1/bytemuck) or [zerocopy](https://docs.rs/zerocopy/0/zerocopy) crates or you want
//! to take advantage of the derive macros provided by either of those crates, you can do the following:
//! - Enable the `bytemuck_v1` resp. `zerocopy` feature of this crate (producing a dependency on [bytemuck](https://docs.rs/bytemuck/1/bytemuck)
//! v1 resp. [zerocopy](https://docs.rs/zerocopy/0/zerocopy))
//! - Implement the appropriate trait from one of these crates for your type, e.g. by using a derive macro
//! - Derive the corresponding trait from the `wnf` crate using the [`derive_from_bytemuck_v1`] resp.
//! [`derive_from_zerocopy`] macros. See the documentations of these macros for examples.
//!
//! All methods that query state data require the data type to
//! - either be a type `T` that implements [`CheckedBitPattern`]
//! - or be a slice type `[T]` where the element type `T` implements [`CheckedBitPattern`]
//!
//! In addition, they exist in non-boxed and boxed variants, e.g. [`OwnedState::get`] and [`OwnedState::get_boxed`]. The
//! non-boxed variants query the data by value (i.e. on the stack), but require the data type `T` to be [`Sized`].
//! The boxed variants work for both sized and unsized data types `T` and query the data as a [`Box<T>`] (i.e. allocated
//! on the heap). All of this is encapsulated in the [`Read<T>`] trait where
//! - `T: Read<T>` means that `T` can be read by value
//! - `T: Read<Box<T>>` means that `T` can be read as a box
//!
//! Note that methods that *update* state data don't make a distinction between sized and unsized types/slices or boxed
//! and non-boxed variants because they take the data by reference.
//!
//! If you want to be able to support arbitrary state data without any restriction on the size (apart from the upper
//! bound of 4 KB), you can always use a byte slice `[u8]` as the data type. In the rare case that you want to query a
//! state without caring about the content of the data at all, you can use the [`OpaqueData`] type. This is useful e.g.
//! if you just want to query the size or if you want to check if you have the right permissions to query the state.
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! For more detailed examples, see the `examples` folder in the crate repository. Some common use cases:
//!
//! ## Creating a state and querying/updating its data
//!
//! ```
//! # fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
//! use wnf::{CreatableStateLifetime, DataScope, OwnedState, StateCreation};
//!
//! let state: OwnedState<u32> = StateCreation::new()
//! .lifetime(CreatableStateLifetime::Temporary)
//! .scope(DataScope::Machine)
//! .create_owned()?;
//!
//! state.set(&42)?;
//!
//! assert_eq!(state.get()?, 42);
//! # Ok(()) }
//! ```
//!
//! ## Reading a wide string from a well-known state
//!
//! ```
//! # fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
//! use std::ffi::{OsStr, OsString};
//! use std::os::windows::ffi::OsStringExt;
//!
//! use wnf::BorrowedState;
//!
//! const WNF_SHEL_DESKTOP_APPLICATION_STARTED: u64 = 0x0D83063EA3BE5075;
//!
//! let state = BorrowedState::<[u16]>::from_state_name(WNF_SHEL_DESKTOP_APPLICATION_STARTED);
//!
//! let last_application_started_wide = {
//! let data = state.get_boxed()?;
//! OsString::from_wide(&data)
//! };
//!
//! println!("{}", last_application_started_wide.to_string_lossy());
//! # Ok(()) }
//! ```
//!
//! ## Subscribing to a well-known state
//!
//! This requires the `subscribe` feature flag to be enabled.
//! ```
//! # #![no_std]
//! #
//! # extern crate std as real_std;
//! #
//! # mod std {
//! # pub(crate) mod io {

//!
//! stdin().read_exact(&mut [0u8])?; // wait for keypress
//!
//! subscription.unsubscribe()?;
//! # Ok(()) }
//! ```
//!
//! # Tracing
//!
//! This crate emits diagnostic information using the [`tracing`](https://docs.rs/tracing/latest/tracing) crate whenever there is an interaction with the WNF
//! API. For guidance on how to subscribe to this information, consult the [`tracing`](https://docs.rs/tracing/latest/tracing) documentation. The general
//! structure is like this:
//! - For every invocation of a WNF API function by the `wnf` crate, an [`Event`](https://docs.rs/tracing/latest/tracing/struct.Event.html)
//! with the following payload is emitted:
//! - The [`target`](https://docs.rs/tracing/latest/tracing/struct.Metadata.html#method.target) is always
//! `wnf::ntapi`.
//! - The [`level`](https://docs.rs/tracing/latest/tracing/struct.Metadata.html#method.level) is [`DEBUG`](https://docs.rs/tracing/latest/tracing/struct.Level.html#associatedconstant.DEBUG).
//! - The message is the name of the WNF API routine.
//! - The [`fields`](https://docs.rs/tracing/latest/tracing/struct.Metadata.html#method.fields) consist of three
//! groups:
//! - `result`: The result (return code) of the invocation
//! - `input.*`: Inputs of the invocation, depending on the routine
//! - `output.*`: Outputs of the invocation, depending on the routine
//! - For every invocation of a callback function in the `wnf` crate, a [`Span`](https://docs.rs/tracing/latest/tracing/struct.Span.html)
//! with the following payload is emitted:
//! - The [`target`](https://docs.rs/tracing/latest/tracing/struct.Metadata.html#method.target) is always
//! `wnf::ntapi`.
//! - The [`level`](https://docs.rs/tracing/latest/tracing/struct.Metadata.html#method.level) is [`TRACE`](https://docs.rs/tracing/latest/tracing/struct.Level.html#associatedconstant.TRACE).
//! - The [`name`](https://docs.rs/tracing/latest/tracing/struct.Metadata.html#method.name) is `WnfUserCallback`.
//! - The [`fields`](https://docs.rs/tracing/latest/tracing/struct.Metadata.html#method.fields) are all named
//! `input.*` and contain the inputs of the invocation.
//!
//! See the `examples` folder in the crate repository for examples on how to subscribe to these events and spans.
//!
//! # Cargo features
//!
//! This crate has various [feature flags](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/features.html), none of which are
//! enabled by default. They fall into two groups:
//!
//! - Features enabling compatibility with other crates:
//! - `bytemuck_v1`: Enables the optional [bytemuck](https://docs.rs/bytemuck/1/bytemuck) dependency and provides the
//! [`derive_from_bytemuck_v1`] macro
//! - `uuid`: Enables the optional [uuid](https://docs.rs/uuid/1/uuid) dependency and provides conversions between the
//! [`uuid::Uuid`](https://docs.rs/uuid/1/uuid/struct.Uuid.html) and [`wnf::GUID`](crate::GUID) types
//! - `winapi`: Enables the optional [winapi](https://docs.rs/winapi/latest/winapi) dependency and provides conversions
//! between the [`winapi::shared::guiddef::GUID`](https://docs.rs/winapi/latest/winapi/shared/guiddef/struct.GUID.html)
//! and [`wnf::GUID`](crate::GUID) types
//! - `windows`: Provides conversions between the [`windows::core::GUID`](https://docs.rs/windows/latest/windows/core/struct.GUID.html)
//! and [`wnf::GUID`](crate::GUID) types (the `windows` dependency is not optional because it is also used by `wnf`
//! internally)
//! - `windows_permissions`: Enables the optional [windows-permissions](https://docs.rs/windows-permissions/latest/windows_permissions)
//! dependency and enables the use of [`windows_permissions::SecurityDescriptor`](https://docs.rs/windows-permissions/latest/windows_permissions/struct.SecurityDescriptor.html)
//! when creating a state
//! - `zerocopy`: Enables the optional [zerocopy](https://docs.rs/zerocopy/0/zerocopy) dependency and provides the
//! [`derive_from_zerocopy`] macro
//!
//! - Features enabling functionality that uses the higher-level `Rtl*` functions from `ntdll.dll` (see above):
//! - `subscribe`: Enables subscribing to state updates
//! - `wait_blocking`: Enables blocking waits for state updates, implies the `subscribe` feature
//! - `wait_async`: Enables async waits for state updates, implies the `subscribe` feature
//!
//! # Stability
//!
//! Since this crate depends on the WNF API, which is undocumented and hence must be considered unstable, it will
//! probably stay on an unstable `0.x` version forever.
//!
//! # Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV) Policy
//!
//! The current MSRV of this crate is `1.62`.
//!
//! Increasing the MSRV of this crate is _not_ considered a breaking change. However, in such cases there will be at
//! least a minor version bump.
//!
//! Each version of this crate will support at least the four latest stable Rust versions at the time it is
//! published.
