Rust FFI bindings to KVM, generated using bindgen. It currently has support for the following target architectures:
- x86
- x86_64
- arm
- arm64
The bindings exported by this crate are statically generated using header files
associated with a specific kernel version, and are not automatically synced with
the kernel version running on a particular host. The user must ensure that
specific structures, members, or constants are supported and valid for the
kernel version they are using. For example, the immediate_exit field from the
kvm_run structure is only meaningful if the KVM_CAP_IMMEDIATE_EXIT
capability is available. Using invalid fields or features may lead to undefined
behaviour.
First, add the following to your Cargo.toml:
kvm-bindings = "0.4"Next, add this to your crate root:
extern crate kvm_bindings;This crate also offers safe wrappers over FAM structs - FFI structs that have
a Flexible Array Member in their definition.
These safe wrappers can be used if the fam-wrappers feature is enabled for
this crate. Example:
kvm-bindings = { version = "0.4", features = ["fam-wrappers"]}The crate has an optional dependency to
vmm-sys-util when enabling the
fam-wrappers feature.
