Hey!
I am excited to announce the release of my new Rust crate as part of my learning process “runtime_environment”! 🦀
This pack is perfect for programmers who want to detect operating systems at runtime. It also provides a flexible toolkit for this purpose which is commonly encountered in software development.
Why is it important to detect runtime environments?
Knowing where your code runs can be crucial so as to make sure it is compatible with other platforms, run efficiently or even provide a specific functionality. With ‘runtime-environment’ you can decide if your codes are running on macOS, Windows, Linux among others quite easily.
Introducing “runtime-environment”
The aim behind creating the rust projects with crates like “Runtime-Environment” was simply about making OS detection simpler. It comes with numerous functions that allow one to determine the runtime environment and adjust their code accordingly.

A Rust library to check the operating system at runtime.
Installation
In your Cargo.toml, add the following line under the [dependencies] section:
runtime_environment = "0.1.0"
Usage
This is an example usage someone might do:
use runtime_environment::{is_mac_os, is_windows, is_linux};
fn main() {
if is_mac_os() {
println!("Running on macOS");
} else if is_windows() {
println!("Running on Windows");
} else if is_linux() {
println!("Running on Linux");
} else {
println!("Running on an unknown OS");
}
}
Functions
is_mac_os() -> bool
Returns true if the operating system is macOS.
is_windows() -> bool
Returns true if the operating system is Windows.
is_linux() -> bool
Returns true if the operating system is Linux.
Testing
