os_info
Overview
This project consists of two parts: the library that can be used to detect the operating system type (including version and bitness) and the command line tool that uses the library.
Library (os_info
)
os_info
usage
To use this crate, add os_info
as a dependency to your project's Cargo.toml:
[dependencies]
os_info = "3"
This project has serde
as an optional dependency, so if you don't need it, then
you can speed up compilation disabling it:
[dependencies]
os_info = { version = "3", default-features = false }
Example
let info = os_info::get();
// Print full information:
println!("OS information: {info}");
// Print information separately:
println!("Type: {}", info.os_type());
println!("Version: {}", info.version());
println!("Bitness: {}", info.bitness());
println!("Architecture: {}", info.architecture());
Command line tool (os_info_cli
)
A simple wrapper around the os_info
library.
Installation
This tool can be installed using the following cargo command:
cargo install os_info_cli
os_info_cli
usage
Despite being named os_info_cli
during installation, it is actually named
os_info
. You can use the --help
flag to see available options:
os_info --help
