§Rust GIO bindings
Rust bindings and wrappers for GIO, part of gtk-rs-core.
GIO 2.56 is the lowest supported version for the underlying library.
§Minimum supported Rust version
Currently, the minimum supported Rust version is 1.70.0
.
§Documentation
§Using
We recommend using crates from crates.io, as demonstrated here.
If you want to track the bleeding edge, use the git dependency instead:
[dependencies]
gio = { git = "https://github.com/gtk-rs/gtk-rs-core.git", package = "gio" }
Avoid mixing versioned and git crates like this:
# This will not compile
[dependencies]
gio = "0.13"
gio = { git = "https://github.com/gtk-rs/gtk-rs-core.git", package = "gio" }

§License
gio is available under the MIT License, please refer to it.
