• Added IpDontFrag for iOS, macOS. (#1692)

Changed

• mqueue functions now operate on a distinct type, nix::mqueue::MqdT. Accessors take this type by reference, not by value. (#1639)
• Removed SigSet::extend in favor of <SigSet as Extend<Signal>>::extend. Because of this change, you now need use std::iter::Extend to call extend on a SigSet. (#1553)
• Removed the the PATH_MAX restriction from APIs accepting paths. Paths will now be allocated on the heap if they are too long. In addition, large instruction count improvements (~30x) were made to path handling. (#1656)
• Changed getrlimit and setrlimit to use rlim_t directly instead of Option<rlim_t>. (#1668)
• Deprecated InetAddr and SockAddr in favor of SockaddrIn, SockaddrIn6, and SockaddrStorage. (#1684)
• Deprecated IpAddr, Ipv4Addr, and Ipv6Addr in favor of their equivalents from the standard library. (#1685)
• uname now returns a Result<UtsName> instead of just a UtsName and ignoring failures from libc. And getters on the UtsName struct now return an &OsStr instead of &str. (#1672)
• Replaced IoVec with IoSlice and IoSliceMut, and replaced IoVec::from_slice with IoSlice::new. (#1643)

Fixed

• InetAddr::from_std now sets the sin_len/sin6_len fields on the BSDs. (#1642)
• Fixed a panic in LinkAddr::addr. That function now returns an Option. (#1675) (#1677)

Removed

• Removed public access to the inner fields of NetlinkAddr, AlgAddr, SysControlAddr, LinkAddr, and VsockAddr. (#1614)
• Removed EventFlag::EV_SYSFLAG. (#1635)

[0.23.1] - 2021-12-16

Changed

• Relaxed the bitflags requirement from 1.3.1 to 1.1. This partially reverts #1492. From now on, the MSRV is not guaranteed to work with all versions of all dependencies, just with some version of all dependencies. (#1607)

Fixed

• Fixed soundness issues in FdSet::insert, FdSet::remove, and FdSet::contains involving file descriptors outside of the range 0..FD_SETSIZE. (#1575)

[0.23.0] - 2021-09-28

Added

• Added the LocalPeerCred sockopt. (#1482)
• Added TimeSpec::from_duration and TimeSpec::from_timespec (#1465)
• Added IPV6_V6ONLY sockopt. (#1470)
• Added impl From<User> for libc::passwd trait implementation to convert a User into a libc::passwd. Consumes the User struct to give ownership over the member pointers. (#1471)
• Added pthread_kill. (#1472)
• Added mknodat. (#1473)
• Added setrlimit and getrlimit. (#1302)

• Added Ipv4RecvErr and Ipv6RecvErr sockopts and associated control messages. (#1514)
• Added AsRawFd implementation on PollFd. (#1516)
• Added Ipv4Ttl and Ipv6Ttl sockopts. (#1515)
• Added MAP_EXCL, MAP_ALIGNED_SUPER, and MAP_CONCEAL mmap flags, and exposed MAP_ANONYMOUS for all operating systems. (#1522) (#1525) (#1531) (#1534)
• Added read/write accessors for 'events' on PollFd. (#1517)

Changed

• FdSet::{contains, highest, fds} no longer require a mutable reference. (#1464)
• User::gecos and corresponding libc::passwd::pw_gecos are supported on 64-bit Android, change conditional compilation to include the field in 64-bit Android builds (#1471)
• eventfds are supported on Android, change conditional compilation to include sys::eventfd::eventfd and sys::eventfd::EfdFlagsfor Android builds. (#1481)
• Most enums that come from C, for example Errno, are now marked as #[non_exhaustive]. (#1474)
• Many more functions, mostly contructors, are now const. (#1476) (#1492)
• sys::event::KEvent::filter now returns a Result instead of being infalliable. The only cases where it will now return an error are cases where it previously would've had undefined behavior. (#1484)
• Minimum supported Rust version is now 1.46.0. (#1492)
• Rework UnixAddr to encapsulate internals better in order to fix soundness issues. No longer allows creating a UnixAddr from a raw sockaddr_un. (#1496)
• Raised bitflags to 1.3.0 and the MSRV to 1.46.0. (#1492)

Fixed

• posix_fadvise now returns errors in the conventional way, rather than as a non-zero value in Ok(). (#1538)
• Added more errno definitions for better backwards compatibility with Nix 0.21.0. (#1467)
• Fixed potential undefined behavior in Signal::try_from on some platforms. (#1484)
• Fixed buffer overflow in unistd::getgrouplist. (#1545)

Removed

• Removed a couple of termios constants on redox that were never actually supported. (#1483)
• Removed nix::sys::signal::NSIG. It was of dubious utility, and not correct for all platforms. (#1484)
• Removed support for 32-bit Apple targets, since they've been dropped by both Rustc and Xcode. (#1492)
• Deprecated SockAddr/InetAddr::to_str in favor of ToString::to_string (#1495)
• Removed SigevNotify on OpenBSD and Redox. (#1511)

[0.22.0] - 9 July 2021

Added

• Added if_nameindex (#1445)
• Added nmount for FreeBSD. (#1453)
• Added IpFreebind socket option (sockopt) on Linux, Fuchsia and Android. (#1456)
• Added TcpUserTimeout socket option (sockopt) on Linux and Fuchsia. (#1457)
• Added renameat2 for Linux (#1458)
• Added RxqOvfl support on Linux, Fuchsia and Android. (#1455)

Changed

• ptsname_r now returns a lossily-converted string in the event of bad UTF, just like ptsname. (#1446)
• Nix's error type is now a simple wrapper around the platform's Errno. This means it is now Into<std::io::Error>. It's also Clone, Copy, Eq, and has a small fixed size. It also requires less typing. For example, the old enum variant nix::Error::Sys(nix::errno::Errno::EINVAL) is now simply nix::Error::EINVAL. (#1446)

Fixed

Removed

[0.21.0] - 31 May 2021

Added

• Added getresuid and getresgid (#1430)
• Added TIMESTAMPNS support for linux (#1402)
• Added sendfile64 (#1439)
• Added MS_LAZYTIME to MsFlags (#1437)

Changed

• Made forkpty unsafe, like fork (#1390)
• Made Uid, Gid and Pid methods from_raw and as_raw a const fn (#1429)
• Made Uid::is_root a const fn (#1429)
• AioCb is now always pinned. Once a libc::aiocb gets sent to the kernel, its address in memory must not change. Nix now enforces that by using std::pin. Most users won't need to change anything, except when using aio_suspend. See that method's documentation for the new usage. (#1440)
• LioCb is now constructed using a distinct LioCbBuilder struct. This avoids a soundness issue with the old LioCb. Usage is similar but construction now uses the builder pattern. See the documentation for details. (#1440)
• Minimum supported Rust version is now 1.41.0. (#1440)
• Errno aliases are now associated consts on Errno, instead of consts in the errno module. (#1452)

Fixed

• Allow sockaddr_ll size, as reported by the Linux kernel, to be smaller then it's definition (#1395)
• Fix spurious errors using sendmmsg with multiple cmsgs (#1414)
• Added Errno::EOPNOTSUPP to FreeBSD, where it was missing. (#1452)

Removed

• Removed sys::socket::accept4 from Android arm because libc removed it in version 0.2.87. (#1399)
• AioCb::from_boxed_slice and AioCb::from_boxed_mut_slice have been removed. They were useful with earlier versions of Rust, but should no longer be needed now that async/await are available. AioCbs now work exclusively with borrowed buffers, not owned ones. (#1440)
• Removed some Errno values from platforms where they aren't actually defined. (#1452)

[0.20.0] - 20 February 2021

Fixed

• TimerFd now closes the underlying fd on drop. (#1381)
• Define *_MAGIC filesystem constants on Linux s390x (#1372)

Changed

• Expose SeekData and SeekHole on all Linux targets (#1284)
• Changed unistd::{execv,execve,execvp,execvpe,fexecve,execveat} to take both &[&CStr] and &[CString] as its list argument(s). (#1278)
• Made unistd::fork an unsafe funtion, bringing it in line with libstd's decision. (#1293)

Fixed

Removed

• FsType inner value made public. (#1187)
• Added unistd::setfsuid and unistd::setfsgid to set the user or group identity for filesystem checks per-thread. (#1163)

• Added support for Ipv4PacketInfo and Ipv6PacketInfo to ControlMessage. (#1222)
• CpuSet and UnixCredentials now implement Default. (#1244)
• Added unistd::ttyname (#1259)
• Added support for Ipv4PacketInfo and Ipv6PacketInfo to ControlMessage for iOS and Android. (#1265)
• Added support for TimerFd. (#1261)

Changed

• Changed fallocate return type from c_int to () (#1201)
• Enabled sys::ptrace::setregs and sys::ptrace::getregs on x86_64-unknown-linux-musl target (#1198)
• On Linux, ptrace::write is now an unsafe function. Caveat programmer. (#1245)
• execv, execve, execvp and execveat in ::nix::unistd and reboot in ::nix::sys::reboot now return Result<Infallible> instead of Result<Void> (#1239)
• sys::socket::sockaddr_storage_to_addr is no longer unsafe. So is offset_of!.
• sys::socket::sockaddr_storage_to_addr, offset_of!, and Errno::clear are no longer unsafe.
• SockAddr::as_ffi_pair,sys::socket::sockaddr_storage_to_addr, offset_of!, and Errno::clear are no longer unsafe. (#1244)
• Several Inotify methods now take self by value instead of by reference (#1244)
• nix::poll::ppoll: timeout parameter is now optional, None is equivalent for infinite timeout.

Fixed

• Fixed getsockopt. The old code produced UB which triggers a panic with Rust 1.44.0. (#1214)

• Fixed a bug in nix::unistd that would result in an infinite loop when a group or user lookup required a buffer larger than 16KB. (#1198)

• Fixed unaligned casting of cmsg_data to af_alg_iv (#1206)

• Fixed readlink/readlinkat when reading symlinks longer than PATH_MAX (#1231)

• PollFd, EpollEvent, IpMembershipRequest, Ipv6MembershipRequest, TimeVal, and IoVec are now repr(transparent). This is required for correctness's sake across all architectures and compilers, though now bugs have been reported so far. (#1243)

• Fixed unaligned pointer read in Inotify::read_events. (#1244)

Removed

• Removed sys::socket::addr::from_libc_sockaddr from the public API. (#1215)

• Removed sys::termios::{get_libc_termios, get_libc_termios_mut, update_wrapper from the public API. These were previously hidden in the docs but still usable by downstream. (#1235)

• Nix no longer implements NixPath for Option<P> where P: NixPath. Most Nix functions that accept NixPath arguments can't do anything useful with None. The exceptions (mount and quotactl_sync) already take explicitly optional arguments. (#1242)

• Removed unistd::daemon and unistd::pipe2 on OSX and ios (#1255)

• Removed sys::event::FilterFlag::NOTE_EXIT_REPARENTED and sys::event::FilterFlag::NOTE_REAP on OSX and ios. (#1255)

• Added sched_getaffinity. (#1148)

• Added optional Signal argument to ptrace::{detach, syscall} for signal injection. (#1083)

Changed

• sys::socket::ControlMessage::ScmCredentials and sys::socket::ControlMessageOwned::ScmCredentials now wrap UnixCredentials rather than libc::ucred. (#1160)

• sys::socket::recvmsg now takes a plain Vec instead of a CmsgBuffer implementor. If you were already using cmsg_space!, then you needn't worry. (#1156)

• sys::socket::recvfrom now returns Result<(usize, Option<SockAddr>)> instead of Result<(usize, SockAddr)>. (#1145)

• Signal::from_c_int has been replaced by Signal::try_from (#1113)

• Changed readlink and readlinkat to return OsString (#1109)

  # use nix::fcntl::{readlink, readlinkat};
  // the buffer argument of `readlink` and `readlinkat` has been removed,
  // and the return value is now an owned type (`OsString`).
  // Existing code can be updated by removing the buffer argument
  // and removing any clone or similar operation on the output
  
  // old code `readlink(&path, &mut buf)` can be replaced with the following
  let _: OsString = readlink(&path);
  
  // old code `readlinkat(dirfd, &path, &mut buf)` can be replaced with the following
  let _: OsString = readlinkat(dirfd, &path);

Removed

[0.14.1] - 2019-06-06

Added

• Macros exported by nix may now be imported via use on the Rust 2018 edition without importing helper macros on Linux targets. (#1066)

  For example, in Rust 2018, the ioctl_read_bad! macro can now be imported without importing the convert_ioctl_res! macro.

  use nix::ioctl_read_bad;
  
  ioctl_read_bad!(tcgets, libc::TCGETS, libc::termios);
  

Changed

• Changed some public types from reexports of libc types like uint32_t to the native equivalents like u32. (#1072)

• Add forkpty (#1042)
• Add sched_yield (#1050)

Changed

• PollFd event flags renamed to PollFlags (#1024)

• recvmsg now returns an Iterator over ControlMessageOwned objects rather than ControlMessage objects. This is sadly not backwards-compatible. Fix code like this:

  if let ControlMessage::ScmRights(&fds) = cmsg {
  

  By replacing it with code like this:

  if let ControlMessageOwned::ScmRights(fds) = cmsg {
  

  (#1020)

• Replaced CmsgSpace with the cmsg_space macro. (#1020)

Fixed

• Fixed multiple bugs when using sendmsg and recvmsg with ancillary control messages (#1020)

• Macros exported by nix may now be imported via use on the Rust 2018 edition without importing helper macros for BSD targets. (#1041)

  For example, in Rust 2018, the ioctl_read_bad! macro can now be imported without importing the convert_ioctl_res! macro.

  use nix::ioctl_read_bad;
  
  ioctl_read_bad!(tcgets, libc::TCGETS, libc::termios);

• eventfd, signalfd, and pwritev/preadv functionality is now included by default for all supported platforms. (#681)
• The ioctl! macro's plain variants has been replaced with "bad read" to be consistent with other variants. The generated functions also have more strict types for their arguments. The "*_buf" variants also now calculate total array size and take slice references for improved type safety. The documentation has also been dramatically improved. (#670)

Removed

• Removed io::Error from nix::Error and the conversion from nix::Error to Errno (#614)
• All feature flags have been removed in favor of conditional compilation on supported platforms. execvpe is no longer supported, but this was already broken and will be added back in the next release. (#681)
• Removed ioc_* functions and many helper constants and macros within the ioctl module. These should always have been private and only the ioctl! should be used in public code. (#670)

Fixed

• Fixed multiple issues compiling under different archetectures and OSes. Now compiles on Linux/MIPS (#538), Linux/PPC (#553), MacOS/x86_64,i686 (#553), NetBSD/x64_64 (#538), FreeBSD/x86_64,i686 (#536), and Android (#631).

• Added support for getting and setting pipe size with fcntl(2) on Linux (#540)

Changed

• ::nix::sys::termios::{cfgetispeed, cfsetispeed, cfgetospeed, cfsetospeed} switched to use BaudRate enum from speed_t. (#518)
• epoll_ctl now could accept None as argument event when op is EpollOp::EpollCtlDel. (#480)
• Removed the bad keyword from the ioctl! macro (#478)
• Changed TimeVal into an opaque Newtype (#475)
• kill's signature, defined in ::nix::sys::signal, changed, so that the signal parameter has type T: Into<Option<Signal>>. None as an argument for that parameter will result in a 0 passed to libc's kill, while a Some-argument will result in the previous behavior for the contained Signal. (#445)
• The minimum supported version of rustc is now 1.7.0. (#444)
• Changed KEvent to an opaque structure that may only be modified by its constructor and the ev_set method. (#415) (#442) (#463)
• pipe2 now calls libc::pipe2 where available. Previously it was emulated using pipe, which meant that setting O_CLOEXEC was not atomic. (#427)
• Renamed EpollEventKind to EpollFlags in ::nix::sys::epoll in order for it to conform with our conventions. (#410)
• EpollEvent in ::nix::sys::epoll is now an opaque proxy for ::libc::epoll_event. The formerly public field events is now be read-only accessible with the new method events() of EpollEvent. Instances of EpollEvent can be constructed using the new method new() of EpollEvent. (#410)
• SigFlags in ::nix::sys::signal has be renamed to SigmaskHow and its type has changed from bitflags to enum in order to conform to our conventions. (#460)
• sethostname now takes a &str instead of a &[u8] as this provides an API that makes more sense in normal, correct usage of the API.
• gethostname previously did not expose the actual length of the hostname written from the underlying system call at all. This has been updated to return a &CStr within the provided buffer that is always properly NUL-terminated (this is not guaranteed by the call with all platforms/libc implementations).
• Exposed all fcntl(2) operations at the module level, so they can be imported direclty instead of via FcntlArg enum. (#541)

Fixed

• Fixed multiple issues with Unix domain sockets on non-Linux OSes (#474)
• Fixed using kqueue with EVFILT_USER on FreeBSD (#415)

Changed

• Replaced the reexported integer constants for signals by the enumeration Signal in ::nix::sys::signal. (#362)
• Renamed EventFdFlag to EfdFlags in ::nix::sys::eventfd. (#383)
• Changed the result types of CpuSet::is_set and CpuSet::set in ::nix::sched to Result<bool> and Result<()>, respectively. They now return EINVAL, if an invalid argument for the field parameter is passed. (#402)
• MqAttr in ::nix::mqueue is now an opaque proxy for ::libc::mq_attr, which has the same structure as the old MqAttr. The field mq_flags of ::libc::mq_attr is readable using the new method flags() of MqAttr. MqAttr also no longer implements Debug. (#392)
• The parameter msq_prio of mq_receive with type u32 in ::nix::mqueue was replaced by a parameter named msg_prio with type &mut u32, so that the message priority can be obtained by the caller. (#392)
• The type alias MQd in ::nix::queue was replaced by the type alias libc::mqd_t, both of which are aliases for the same type. (#392)

Removed

• Type alias SigNum from ::nix::sys::signal. (#362)
