## Generate Rust bindings for Windows
The [windows-bindgen](https://crates.io/crates/windows-bindgen) crate automatically generates Rust bindings from Windows metadata.
* [Getting started](https://kennykerr.ca/rust-getting-started/)
* [Samples](https://github.com/microsoft/windows-rs/tree/0.58.0/crates/samples)
* [Releases](https://github.com/microsoft/windows-rs/releases)
Start by adding the following to your Cargo.toml file:
```toml
[dependencies.windows-targets]
version = "0.52"
[dev-dependencies.windows-bindgen]
version = "0.58"
```
Generates Rust bindings in a build script or test as needed:
```rust,no_run
#[test]
fn bindgen() {
let args = [
"--out",
"src/bindings.rs",
"--config",
"flatten",
"--filter",
"Windows.Win32.System.SystemInformation.GetTickCount",
];
windows_bindgen::bindgen(args).unwrap();
}
mod bindings;
fn main() {
unsafe {
println!("{}", bindings::GetTickCount());
}
}
```
