## Overview

This project consists of two parts: the library that can be used to detect the
operating system type (including version and bitness) and the command line tool
that uses the library.

### Library (`os_info`)

#### `os_info` usage

To use this crate, add `os_info` as a dependency to your project's Cargo.toml:

```toml
[dependencies]
os_info = "3"
```

This project has `serde` as an optional dependency, so if you don't need it, then
you can speed up compilation disabling it:

```toml
[dependencies]
os_info = { version = "3", default-features = false }
```

#### Example

```rust
let info = os_info::get();

// Print full information:
println!("OS information: {info}");

// Print information separately:
println!("Type: {}", info.os_type());
println!("Version: {}", info.version());
println!("Bitness: {}", info.bitness());
println!("Architecture: {}", info.architecture());
```

### Command line tool (`os_info_cli`)

A simple wrapper around the `os_info` library.

#### Installation

This tool can be installed using the following cargo command:

```console
cargo install os_info_cli
```

#### `os_info_cli` usage

Despite being named `os_info_cli` during installation, it is actually named
`os_info`. You can use the `--help` flag to see available options:

```console
os_info --help
```
