Rust

os_type

Rust library to detect the operating system type, because sometimes you need to know.

Usage

Include this into your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
os_type="2.6"

In your code:

extern crate os_type;
let os = os_type::current_platform();
println!("Type: {:?}", os.os_type);
println!("Version: {}", os.version);

Or to provide different handling on different operating systems:

match os_type::current_platform().os_type {
  os_type::OSType::OSX => {
    println!("This is probably an apple laptop!");
  }
  os_type::OSType::Ubuntu => {
    println!("This is running Ubuntu Linux!");
  }
  _ => {
    println!("Unknown Operating System");
  }
}

Using os_type::current_platform().os_type, expect one of these return values:

  • Unknown
  • Redhat
  • CentOS
  • OSX
  • Ubuntu
  • Debian
  • Arch
  • Manjaro
  • Alpine
  • Deepin
  • NixOS
  • Kali

If you need support for more OS types, please consider opening a Pull Request.

Requirements

On Linux based systems this library requires that lsb_release is installed.
