Rust implementation of the Haiku API

The goal of this crate is to provide a Rust implementation of the Haiku API. These functions can mostly be classified as low-level functions, which can be (mostly) found in the kernel kit. Where it makes sense, a higher level API is implemented which uses more advanced rust language constructs.

Building

Using cargo build should do the trick!

Using the crate

This crate is published on crates.io and can be used by adding it as a dependency in your Cargo.toml file.

What is implemented

Currently the following kernel interfaces are implemented:

• Application Kit
  • Initial implementation of Handlers, Loopers, Messengers and Messages
  • Access to the Registrar (limited for now)
  • Notification system
• Kernel Kit
  • High level interface to Ports and Teams
• Storage Kit
  • File Attributes
  • Basic MimeType
• Support Kit
  • Haiku specific Error object
  • Flattenable interface

The implementation of the messaging system currently is at a high enough level that it may be used to communicate with other Haiku applications and system services.
