libc - Raw FFI bindings to platforms' system libraries
|
|
====
|
|
|
|
`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].
|
|
|
|
[rfc]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/1291-promote-libc.md
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Add the following to your `Cargo.toml`:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[dependencies]
|
|
libc = "0.2"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
* `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.
|
|
|
|
* `extra_traits`: all `struct`s implemented in `libc` are `Copy` and `Clone`.
|
|
This feature derives `Debug`, `Eq`, `Hash`, and `PartialEq`.
|
|
|
|
* **deprecated**: `use_std` is deprecated, and is equivalent to `std`.
|
|
|
|
## 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 |
|
|
|
|
## Platform support
|
|
|
|
[Platform-specific documentation (master branch)][docs.master].
|
|
|
|
See
|
|
[`ci/build.sh`](https://github.com/rust-lang/libc/blob/master/ci/build.sh)
|
|
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.
