rustix/src/lib.rs

//! `rustix` provides efficient memory-safe and [I/O-safe] wrappers to
//! POSIX-like, Unix-like, Linux, and Winsock syscall-like APIs, with
//! configurable backends.
//!
//! With rustix, you can write code like this:
//!
//! ```
//! # #[cfg(feature = "net")]
//! # fn read(sock: std::net::TcpStream, buf: &mut [u8]) -> std::io::Result<()> {
//! # use rustix::net::RecvFlags;
//! let nread: usize = rustix::net::recv(&sock, buf, RecvFlags::PEEK)?;
//! # let _ = nread;
//! # Ok(())
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! instead of like this:
//!
//! ```
//! # #[cfg(feature = "net")]
//! # fn read(sock: std::net::TcpStream, buf: &mut [u8]) -> std::io::Result<()> {
//! # #[cfg(unix)]
//! # use std::os::unix::io::AsRawFd;
//! # #[cfg(target_os = "wasi")]
//! # use std::os::wasi::io::AsRawFd;
//! # #[cfg(windows)]
//! # use windows_sys::Win32::Networking::WinSock as libc;
//! # #[cfg(windows)]
//! # use std::os::windows::io::AsRawSocket;
//! # const MSG_PEEK: i32 = libc::MSG_PEEK;
//! let nread: usize = unsafe {
//!     #[cfg(any(unix, target_os = "wasi"))]
//!     let raw = sock.as_raw_fd();
//!     #[cfg(windows)]
//!     let raw = sock.as_raw_socket();
//!     match libc::recv(
//!         raw as _,
//!         buf.as_mut_ptr().cast(),
//!         buf.len().try_into().unwrap_or(i32::MAX as _),
//!         MSG_PEEK,
//!     ) {
//!         -1 => return Err(std::io::Error::last_os_error()),
//!         nread => nread as usize,
//!     }
//! };
//! # let _ = nread;
//! # Ok(())
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! rustix's APIs perform the following tasks:
//!  - Error values are translated to [`Result`]s.
//!  - Buffers are passed as Rust slices.
//!  - Out-parameters are presented as return values.
//!  - Path arguments use [`Arg`], so they accept any string type.
//!  - File descriptors are passed and returned via [`AsFd`] and [`OwnedFd`]
//!    instead of bare integers, ensuring I/O safety.
//!  - Constants use `enum`s and [`bitflags`] types, and enable [support for
//!    externally defined flags].
//!  - Multiplexed functions (eg. `fcntl`, `ioctl`, etc.) are de-multiplexed.
//!  - Variadic functions (eg. `openat`, etc.) are presented as non-variadic.
//!  - Functions that return strings automatically allocate sufficient memory
//!    and retry the syscall as needed to determine the needed length.
//!  - Functions and types which need `l` prefixes or `64` suffixes to enable
//!    large-file support (LFS) are used automatically. File sizes and offsets
//!    are always presented as `u64` and `i64`.
//!  - Behaviors that depend on the sizes of C types like `long` are hidden.
//!  - In some places, more human-friendly and less historical-accident names
//!    are used (and documentation aliases are used so that the original names
//!    can still be searched for).
//!  - Provide y2038 compatibility, on platforms which support this.
//!  - Correct selected platform bugs, such as behavioral differences when
//!    running under seccomp.
//!
//! Things they don't do include:
//!  - Detecting whether functions are supported at runtime, except in specific
//!    cases where new interfaces need to be detected to support y2038 and LFS.
//!  - Hiding significant differences between platforms.
//!  - Restricting ambient authorities.
//!  - Imposing sandboxing features such as filesystem path or network address
//!    sandboxing.
//!
//! See [`cap-std`], [`system-interface`], and [`io-streams`] for libraries
//! which do hide significant differences between platforms, and [`cap-std`]
//! which does perform sandboxing and restricts ambient authorities.
