To get the system release (or operating system version) in Rust, we can use the std::env::consts::OS
constant to check the current operating system and then use an appropriate method to obtain the version number. For example, on Unix-based systems, we can use the uname
system call to get the system information, while on Windows we can use the GetVersion()
function. Here's an example code snippet that demonstrates how to obtain the system release using Rust:
main.rs1984 chars48 lines
This code uses unsafe
Rust code with some WinAPI and libc calls to obtain the system release information for different operating systems. Note that the unsafe
block is required because these system level calls are inherently not safe but offer valuable functionality in specific scenarios.
