This crate contains bindgen-generated bindings for Linux's userspace API.

This is primarily of interest if you want to make raw system calls directly,

which is tedious and error prone and not necessary for most use cases. For a

minimal type-safe, memory-safe, and I/O-safe API to the Linux system calls

built on these bindings, see the [rustix crate].

The full bindings are quite large, so they've been split up into modules and

cargo features. By default, `general` and `errno` are enabled, which provide

most things needed by general-purpose code.

To regenerate the generated bindings, run `cargo update && cd gen && cargo run --release`.

## Similar crates

This is similar to [linux-sys], except the bindings are generated offline,

rather than in a build.rs, making downstream builds simpler. And, this crate

has bindings for more headers, as well as supplementary definitions not

exported by Linux's headers but nonetheless needed by userspace.

# Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV)

This crate currently works on the version of [Rust on Debian stable], which is

currently Rust 1.63. This policy may change in the future, in minor version

releases, so users using a fixed version of Rust should pin to a specific

version of this crate.
