Project details:

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
