Crate nix

Rust friendly bindings to the various *nix system functions.

Modules are structured according to the C header file that they would be defined in.

Re-exports

pub use libc;

Modules

env

Environment variables

errno

fcntl

features

Feature tests for OS functionality

poll

Wait for events to trigger on specific file descriptors

sched

Execution scheduling

sys

Mostly platform-specific functionality

time

unistd

Safe wrappers around functions found in libc “unistd.h” header

Macros

ioctl_none

Generates a wrapper function for an ioctl that passes no data to the kernel.

ioctl_none_bad

Generates a wrapper function for a “bad” ioctl that passes no data to the kernel.

ioctl_read

Generates a wrapper function for an ioctl that reads data from the kernel.

ioctl_read_bad

Generates a wrapper function for a “bad” ioctl that reads data from the kernel.

ioctl_read_buf

Generates a wrapper function for an ioctl that reads an array of elements from the kernel.

ioctl_readwrite

Generates a wrapper function for an ioctl that reads and writes data to the kernel.

ioctl_readwrite_bad

Generates a wrapper function for a “bad” ioctl that reads and writes data to the kernel.

ioctl_readwrite_buf

ioctl_write_int

Generates a wrapper function for a ioctl that writes an integer to the kernel.

ioctl_write_int_bad

Generates a wrapper function for a “bad” ioctl that writes an integer to the kernel.

ioctl_write_ptr

Generates a wrapper function for an ioctl that writes data through a pointer to the kernel.

ioctl_write_ptr_bad

Traits

NixPath

Common trait used to represent file system paths by many Nix functions.
