High level bindings to various Linux APIs and interfaces

This crate provides high-level, safe, Rust bindings to the various Linux Kernel APIs and interfaces.

This crate is currently experimental, and the API will change.

Background

The goal of this crate is to provide relatively high-level bindings, specifically for the Linux Kernel.

The kernel exposes a lot of information through filesystems like sysfs, and there aren't a lot of good structured ways to handle it, on top of it being sparsely documented.

So this crate does the work of handling it for you!
