This crate allows interacting with the data stored by OsStr and
OsString, without resorting to panics or corruption for invalid UTF-8.
Thus, methods can be used that are already defined on [u8] and
Vec<u8>.
Typically, the only way to losslessly construct OsStr or OsString from
a byte sequence is to use OsStr::new(str::from_utf8(bytes)?), which requires
the bytes to be valid in UTF-8. However, since this crate makes conversions
directly between the platform encoding and raw bytes, even some strings invalid
in UTF-8 can be converted.
Add the following lines to your "Cargo.toml" file:
[dependencies]
os_str_bytes = "6.0"See the documentation for available functionality and examples.
The minimum supported Rust toolchain version depends on the platform:
| Target | Target Triple | Minimum Version |
|---|---|---|
| Fortanix | *-fortanix-*-sgx |
nightly (sgx_platform) |
| Unix | Unix | 1.52.0 |
| WASI | *-wasi |
1.52.0 |
| WebAssembly | wasm32-*-unknown |
1.52.0 |
| Windows | *-windows-* |
1.52.0 |
Minor version updates may increase these version requirements. However, the previous two Rust releases will always be supported. If the minimum Rust version must not be increased, use a tilde requirement to prevent updating this crate's minor version:
[dependencies]
os_str_bytes = "~6.0"Licensing terms are specified in COPYRIGHT.
