Parse Debian and Ubuntu distro-info-data files and provide them as easy-to-consume Rust data structures.

Use UbuntuDistroInfo to access the Ubuntu data. (The Debian implementation has yet to happen.)

distro-info-rs

A Rust library to parse Debian/Ubuntu distro-info-data, aiming to replicate the functionality of the C implementation in the distro-info package in Debian/Ubuntu.

Installation

With a working installation of cargo, run cargo install ubuntu-distro-info, then:

ubuntu-distro-info --help
