oxide_linux

A minimalist utility library for fetching common Linux system information in Rust.

Features

• Get Linux Kernel Version: Retrieve the Linux kernel version using uname.
• Get System Uptime: Fetch system uptime from /proc/uptime.
• Get Available Memory: Parse /proc/meminfo to get available memory in kilobytes.

Installation

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
oxide_linux = "0.1.0"

Usage

Here’s how to use oxide_linux:

fn main() {
    // Get the Linux kernel version
    match get_kernel_version() {
        Some(version) => println!("Kernel Version: {}", version),
        None => println!("Failed to get kernel version"),
    }

    // Get the system uptime
    match get_system_uptime() {
        Ok(uptime) => println!("System Uptime: {:.2} seconds", uptime),
        Err(e) => println!("Error getting uptime: {}", e),
    }

    // Get the available memory
    match get_available_memory() {
        Ok(memory) => println!("Available Memory: {} kB", memory),
        Err(e) => println!("Error getting available memory: {}", e),
    }
}
