Crate rustdoc_index

This API documentation is for development of the Fuchsia platform. For a stable public API for building on Fuchsia see the Fuchsia SDK docs.

Note: The search bar only gives results for the current instance, so make sure to navigate to the Fuchsia (https://fuchsia.dev/go/rustdoc) or host (https://fuchsia.dev/go/rustdoc/host) instance before searching.

Fuchsia Rust Crates

General

• fuchsia

  Macros for creating Fuchsia components and tests. These macros work on Fuchsia, and also on host with some limitations (that are called out where they exist).

• fuchsia_component

  Support library for implementing Fuchsia components.

• fuchsia_component_test

  The Realm Builder library exists to facilitate integration testing of components by allowing for the run-time construction of realms and mocked components specific to individual test cases. For more information on how to use this library, see Realm Builder

• fuchsia_async/

  Futures executor and asynchronous primitives (Channel, Socket, Fifo, etc.). This crate works on Fuchsia and host Operating Systems and allows you to use Overnet for RCS and ffx.

• async_utils

  Provides utilities for working with asynchronous code.

• async_helpers

  This library contains helpers crates to handle things such as hanging gets.

• zx

  Rust language bindings for Zircon kernel syscalls.

• fdio

  Wrapper over fdio library.

• fuchsia_runtime

  Type-safe bindings for Fuchsia-specific libc functionality. This crate is a minimal extension on top of the fuchsia-zircon crate, which provides bindings to the Zircon kernel’s syscalls, but does not depend on functionality from libc.

• mapped_vmo

  A convenience crate for Zircon VMO objects mapped into memory.

• mem_util

  Utilities for working with the fuchsia.mem FIDL library. This crate is not very widely used.

• shared_buffer

  Utilities for safely operating on memory shared between untrusting processes.

• fidl

  Library and runtime for FIDL bindings. For more information about FIDL, see FIDL Overview

• flyweights

  Types implementing the flyweight pattern for reusing object allocations.

Packages

• fuchsia_archive

  Work with Fuchsia Archives (FARs)

• fuchsia_pkg

  Library that lets you work with Fuchsia packages which are a hierarchical collection of files that provides one or more programs, components or services to a Fuchsia system.

• fuchsia-merkle

  Protect and verify data blobs using Merkle Trees

Testing

• diagnostics_log

  Rust interface to the Fuchsia Logging System. This library isn’t Fuchsia-specific and can be used on the host.

• diagnostics_reader

  Utility to let you read metrics and logs. This is useful for creating tests.

• fuchsia_trace

  A safe Rust interface to Fuchsia’s tracing interface.

• fuchsia_criterion

  Thin wrapper crate around the Criterion benchmark suite{: .external}. This generates benchmark metrics for infrastructure from criterion benches.

• fuchsiaperf

  A library that defines the JSON schema for benchmark metrics.

• fuchsia_inspect

  Components in Fuchsia may expose structured information about themselves conforming to the Inspect API. This crate is the core library for writing inspect data in Rust components. For a comprehensive guide on how to start using inspect, please refer to the codelab.

• fuchsia_inspect_contrib

  This library is intended for contributions to the inspect library from clients.

Graphics

• fuchsia-framebuffer

  Configure, create and use FrameBuffers in Fuchsia.

• fuchsia-scenic

  Rust interface to Scenic, the Fuchsia compositor

Storage

• storage

  Bindings and protocol for serving filesystems on the Fuchsia platform

  • vfs

  A library to create “pseudo” file systems. These file systems are backed by in process callbacks. Examples are: component configuration, debug information or statistics.

  • storage-manager

  A library to access a file system directory.

  • fxfs

  A library to us Fxfs which is a log-structured filesystem for Fuchsia.

• fuchsia-fs

  Wrapper library for fuchsia.io operations, such as reading and writing files, reading directory entries, and watching directories.

Networking

• fuchsia_hyper

  A library that lets you create a Fuchsia-compatible hyper client for making HTTP requests.

• fuchsia_bluetooth

  Utilities for Bluetooth development.

Miscellaneous

• mundane

  A Rust crypto library backed by BoringSSL
