guid-partition-types-rs

A small crate designed to work with parition types and their GUIDs

Why?

Because I was working with partition types and their GUIDs and I noticed there wasn't a crate for that. So I made one.

Todo

• Add System and PartitionType enums
• Group GUID structs in lazy_statics
• Document everything (In progress)
• Standardize GUID struct names

Usage

This crate simply introduces two enums (System & PartitionType) and a struct (GUID)

• The System enum contains variants that are named after the supported OS types, e.g Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, Apple, ChromeOS
• The PartitionType enum contains 127 variants of all documented partition type GUIDs following the format ($SYSTEMNAME)($PARTITIONTYPE)Partition for instance LinuxRaidPartition or CephDMCryptLUKSBlockWriteAhedLogPartition
• The GUID struct simply binds a System and a PartitionType variant together with Debug and Display implemented.

pub struct GUID {
   string: &'static str,
   system: Option<System>
}

that being said heres an example of printing out the EFI GUID struct.

extern crate guid_partition_types_rs;

use guid_partition_types_rs::{
	GUID,
	System,
	GENERAL_PARTITION_TYPES
};

fn main() {
	println!("{:?}", GENERAL_PARTITION_TYPES.get("EFI"));
}
