System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the process of creating safe and idiomatic Rust bindings for existing C libraries, especially those requiring compilation of C source code or linking against system dependencies.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Two-Crate Structure: Separates raw FFI (-sys crate) from safe Rust wrappers (library crate).
  • Automated C Compilation: Uses build.rs and the cc crate to compile C sources directly.
  • System Library Discovery: Integrates with pkg-config and Homebrew for flexible dependency management.
  • Use Case: Integrating a complex C library like libcurl or OpenSSL into a Rust project, providing a clean and safe API for Rust developers.

Quick Start

Use the rust-ffi-crate skill to create a two-crate Rust workspace for binding to a C library named 'my_c_lib'.
