# `bindgen`
|
|
|
|
**`bindgen` automatically generates Rust FFI bindings to C (and some C++) libraries.**
|
|
|
|
For example, given the C header `doggo.h`:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
typedef struct Doggo {
|
|
int many;
|
|
char wow;
|
|
} Doggo;
|
|
|
|
void eleven_out_of_ten_majestic_af(Doggo* pupper);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`bindgen` produces Rust FFI code allowing you to call into the `doggo` library's
|
|
functions and use its types:
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
/* automatically generated by rust-bindgen 0.99.9 */
|
|
|
|
#[repr(C)]
|
|
pub struct Doggo {
|
|
pub many: ::std::os::raw::c_int,
|
|
pub wow: ::std::os::raw::c_char,
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
extern "C" {
|
|
pub fn eleven_out_of_ten_majestic_af(pupper: *mut Doggo);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Users Guide
|
|
|
|
[📚 Read the `bindgen` users guide here! 📚](https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-bindgen)
|
|
|
|
## MSRV
|
|
|
|
The minimum supported Rust version is **1.60.0**.
|
|
|
|
No MSRV bump policy has been established yet, so MSRV may increase in any release.
|
|
|
|
The MSRV is the minimum Rust version that can be used to *compile* `bindgen`. However, `bindgen` can generate bindings that are compatible with Rust versions below the current MSRV.
|
|
|
|
## API Reference
|
|
|
|
[API reference documentation is on docs.rs](https://docs.rs/bindgen)
|
|
|
|
## Environment Variables
|
|
|
|
In addition to the [library API](https://docs.rs/bindgen) and [executable command-line API][bindgen-cmdline],
|
|
`bindgen` can be controlled through environment variables.
|
|
|
|
End-users should set these environment variables to modify `bindgen`'s behavior without modifying the source code of direct consumers of `bindgen`.
|
|
|
|
- `BINDGEN_EXTRA_CLANG_ARGS`: extra arguments to pass to `clang`
|
|
- Arguments are whitespace-separated
|
|
- Use shell-style quoting to pass through whitespace
|
|
- Examples:
|
|
- Specify alternate sysroot: `--sysroot=/path/to/sysroot`
|
|
- Add include search path with spaces: `-I"/path/with spaces"`
|
|
- `BINDGEN_EXTRA_CLANG_ARGS_<TARGET>`: similar to `BINDGEN_EXTRA_CLANG_ARGS`,
|
|
but used to set per-target arguments to pass to clang. Useful to set system include
|
|
directories in a target-specific way in cross-compilation environments with multiple targets.
|
|
Has precedence over `BINDGEN_EXTRA_CLANG_ARGS`.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, `bindgen` uses `libclang` to parse C and C++ header files.
|
|
To modify how `bindgen` searches for `libclang`, see the [`clang-sys` documentation][clang-sys-env].
|
|
For more details on how `bindgen` uses `libclang`, see the [`bindgen` users guide][bindgen-book-clang].

## Releases
|
|
|
|
We don't follow a specific release calendar, but if you need a release please
|
|
file an issue requesting that (ping `@emilio` for increased effectiveness).
