libc - Raw FFI bindings to platforms' system libraries
====
2015-01-13 16:53:42 +01:00
`libc` provides all of the definitions necessary to easily interoperate with C
code (or "C-like" code) on each of the platforms that Rust supports. This
includes type definitions (e.g. `c_int`), constants (e.g. `EINVAL`) as well as
function headers (e.g. `malloc`).
This crate exports all underlying platform types, functions, and constants under
the crate root, so all items are accessible as `libc::foo`. The types and values
of all the exported APIs match the platform that libc is compiled for.
More detailed information about the design of this library can be found in its
[associated RFC][rfc].

## Usage
Add the following to your `Cargo.toml`:
2015-10-29 19:54:12 +01:00
```toml
[dependencies]
2015-11-03 22:23:16 +01:00
libc = "0.2"
2015-10-29 19:54:12 +01:00
```
## Features
2015-10-29 19:54:12 +01:00
* `use_std`: by default `libc` links to the standard library. Disable this
feature remove this dependency and be able to use `libc` in `#![no_std]`
crates.
2015-10-29 19:54:12 +01:00
* `extra_traits`: all `struct`s implemented in `libc` are `Copy` and `Clone`.
This feature derives `Debug`, `Eq`, `Hash`, and `PartialEq`.
## Rust version support
The minimum supported Rust toolchain version is **Rust 1.13.0** . APIs requiring
newer Rust features are only available on newer Rust toolchains:
| Feature | Version |
|----------------------|---------|
| `union` | 1.19.0 |
| `const mem::size_of` | 1.24.0 |
| `repr(align)` | 1.25.0 |
| `extra_traits` | 1.25.0 |
| `core::ffi::c_void` | 1.30.0 |
| `repr(packed(N))` | 1.33.0 |

See
[`ci/build.sh`](https://github.com/rust-lang/libc/blob/master/libc-test/build.rs)
for the platforms on which `libc` is guaranteed to build for each Rust
toolchain. The test-matrix at [Travis-CI], [Appveyor], and [Cirrus-CI] show the
platforms in which `libc` tests are run.
