Appearance

🎯 Target ​

The target crate provides compile-target introspection helpers used by Core and executables.

It exposes architecture, operating system, family, and vendor abstractions from Cargo target environment variables, allowing target-dependent behavior to stay centralized and explicit.

Features ​

  • Architecture detection (x86_64, arm, xtensa, wasm32, ...)
  • Operating system detection (linux, windows, macos, espidf, wasi)
  • Family and vendor helpers
  • Unified Target structure for current build target metadata

API snapshot ​

  • Target::get_current(): Builds target metadata from Cargo environment variables.
  • Architecture::get(), OperatingSystem::get(), Family::get(), Vendor::get(): Per-dimension helpers.
  • Conversion from raw Cargo values to typed enums (From<String> mappings).

Dependencies ​

This crate is intentionally dependency-light and uses standard environment variables provided by Cargo.

It reads:

  • CARGO_CFG_TARGET_ARCH
  • CARGO_CFG_TARGET_OS
  • CARGO_CFG_TARGET_FAMILY
  • CARGO_CFG_TARGET_VENDOR

Known limitations ​

  • Unknown/unsupported raw values can cause panics in strict enum conversions.
  • This crate represents compile/build target metadata, not runtime hardware detection.
