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 extern crate libc;

Modules

dir
errno
fcntl
features	Feature tests for OS functionality
ifaddrs	Query network interface addresses
kmod	Load and unload kernel modules.
mount
mqueue	Posix Message Queue functions
net	Functionality involving network interfaces
poll	Wait for events to trigger on specific file descriptors
pty	Create master and slave virtual pseudo-terminals (PTYs)
sched
sys
ucontext
unistd	Safe wrappers around functions found in libc “unistd.h” header

Macros

cmsg_space	Create a buffer large enough for storing some control messages as returned by recvmsg.
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	Generates a wrapper function for an ioctl that reads and writes an array of elements to the kernel.
ioctl_write_buf	Generates a wrapper function for an ioctl that writes an array of elements to the kernel.
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	Generates a wrapper function for a “bad” ioctl that writes data through a pointer to the kernel.
request_code_none	Generate an ioctl request code for a command that passes no data.
request_code_read	Generate an ioctl request code for a command that reads.
request_code_readwrite	Generate an ioctl request code for a command that reads and writes.
request_code_write	Generate an ioctl request code for a command that writes.
