nix - Rust friendly bindings to *nix APIs

Age	Commit message (Collapse)	Author
2021-07-24	Mark most C-derived enums as non_exhaustive	Alan Somers
	Since libc may add new variants at any time, Nix's consumers should not use exhaustive match patterns. Fixes #1182
2021-07-07	Overhaul Nix's error types	Alan Somers
	For many of Nix's consumers it be convenient to easily convert a Nix error into a std::io::Error. That's currently not possible because of the InvalidPath, InvalidUtf8, and UnsupportedOperation types that have no equivalent in std::io::Error. However, very few of Nix's public APIs actually return those unusual errors. So a more useful API would be for Nix's standard error type to implement Into<std::io::Error>. This commit makes Error a simple NewType around Errno. For most functions it's a drop-in replacement. There are only three exceptions: * clearenv now returns a bespoke error type. It was the only Nix function whose error couldn't be cleanly mapped onto an Errno. * sys::signal::signal now returns Error(Errno::ENOTSUP) instead of Error::UnsupportedOperation when the user passes an incompatible argument to `handler`. * When a NixPath exceeds PATH_MAX, it will now return Error(Errno::ENAMETOOLONG) instead of Error::InvalidPath. In the latter two cases there is now some abiguity about whether the error code was generated by Nix or by the OS. But I think the ambiguity is worth it for the sake of being able to implement Into<io::Error>. This commit also introduces Error::Sys() as a migration aid. Previously that as an enum variant. Now it's a function, but it will work in many of the same contexts as the original. Fixes #1155
2020-05-31	Convert the crate to edition 2018	Alan Somers

2020-05-16	Apply `repr(transparent)` to several FFI types	Alan Somers
	repr(transparent) is required in order to safely cast between an FFI type and its NewType. This commit applies that attribute to PollFd, EpollEvent, IpMembershipRequest, Ipv6MembershipRequest, TimeVal, and IoVec. Fixes #1241
2019-06-09	Add extra traits for all types	Bryant Mairs
	Derive Clone, Copy, Eq, Hash, and PartialEq for all types. Not all traits are supported by all types, which is why many are missing some.
2018-01-28	Require Debug impls for all types	Bryant Mairs

2017-12-10	Add more derives for SignalFd and various enums	Bryant Mairs

2017-12-04	Stop reexporting `Errno` and its variants	Jonas Schievink
	cc #664 (unsure if this is everything needed)
2017-12-01	Fix UB in epoll_ctl	Bryant Mairs
	When passing None as an argument to `epoll_ctl`, UB is elicited within the `Into<&EpollEvent>` impl because it passes a null pointer as a `&mut EpollEvent`. Instead we remove that implementation completely and handle this case directly within the `epoll_ctl` function. Thanks to Arnavion for helping to debug this.

2017-02-22	Fix the inner type of EpollFlags	Mathias Svensson

2017-02-19	Fix the style for bitflags!	Mathias Svensson
	Prefer libc_bitflags! over bitflags!. Prefer libc::CONSTANTS over writing the constant manually.

2015-05-24	Change epoll_wait to use isize timeout_ms.	Cole Reynolds
	A timeout of -1 makes epoll block indefinitely, a usize timeout means we can't specify this behavior; using isize fixes this.
