# Bosion
_Gather build information for verbose versions flags._
- **[API documentation][docs]**.
- Licensed under [Apache 2.0][license] or [MIT](https://passcod.mit-license.org).
- Status: maintained.
[docs]: https://docs.rs/bosion
[license]: ../../LICENSE
## Quick start
In your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[build-dependencies]
bosion = "1.0.3"
```
In your `build.rs`:
```rust ,no_run
fn main() {
bosion::gather();
}
```
In your `src/main.rs`:
```rust ,ignore
include!(env!("BOSION_PATH"));
fn main() {
// default output, like rustc -Vv
println!("{}", Bosion::LONG_VERSION);
// with additional fields
println!("{}", Bosion::long_version_with(&[
("custom data", "value"),
("LLVM version", "15.0.6"),
]));
// enabled features like +feature +an-other
println!("{}", Bosion::CRATE_FEATURE_STRING);
// the raw data
println!("{}", Bosion::GIT_COMMIT_HASH);
println!("{}", Bosion::GIT_COMMIT_SHORTHASH);
println!("{}", Bosion::GIT_COMMIT_DATE);
println!("{}", Bosion::GIT_COMMIT_DATETIME);
println!("{}", Bosion::CRATE_VERSION);
println!("{:?}", Bosion::CRATE_FEATURES);
println!("{}", Bosion::BUILD_DATE);
println!("{}", Bosion::BUILD_DATETIME);
}
```
## Advanced usage
Generating a struct with public visibility:
```rust ,no_run
// build.rs
bosion::gather_pub();
```
Customising the output file and struct names:
```rust ,no_run
// build.rs
bosion::gather_to("buildinfo.rs", "Build", /* public? */ false);
```
Outputting build-time environment variables instead of source:
```rust ,ignore
// build.rs
bosion::gather_to_env();
// src/main.rs
fn main() {
println!("{}", env!("BOSION_GIT_COMMIT_HASH"));
println!("{}", env!("BOSION_GIT_COMMIT_SHORTHASH"));
println!("{}", env!("BOSION_GIT_COMMIT_DATE"));
println!("{}", env!("BOSION_GIT_COMMIT_DATETIME"));
println!("{}", env!("BOSION_BUILD_DATE"));
println!("{}", env!("BOSION_BUILD_DATETIME"));
println!("{}", env!("BOSION_CRATE_VERSION"));
println!("{}", env!("BOSION_CRATE_FEATURES")); // comma-separated
}
```
Custom env prefix:
```rust ,no_run
// build.rs
bosion::gather_to_env_with_prefix("MYAPP_");
```
## Features
- `reproducible`: reads [`SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH`](https://reproducible-builds.org/docs/source-date-epoch/) (default).
- `git`: enables gathering git information (default).
- `std`: enables the `long_version_with` method (default).
Specifically, this is about the downstream crate's std support, not Bosion's, which always requires std.
## Why not...?
- [bugreport](https://github.com/sharkdp/bugreport): runtime library, for bug information.
- [git-testament](https://github.com/kinnison/git-testament): uses the `git` CLI instead of gitoxide.
- [human-panic](https://github.com/rust-cli/human-panic): runtime library, for panics.
- [shadow-rs](https://github.com/baoyachi/shadow-rs): uses libgit2 instead of gitoxide, doesn't rebuild on git changes.
- [vergen](https://github.com/rustyhorde/vergen): uses the `git` CLI instead of gitoxide.
Bosion also requires no dependencies outside of build.rs, and was specifically made for crates
installed in a variety of ways, like with `cargo install`, from pre-built binary, from source with
git, or from source without git (like a tarball), on a variety of platforms. Its default output with
[clap](https://clap.rs) is almost exactly like `rustc -Vv`.
## Examples
The [examples](./examples) directory contains a practical and runnable [clap-based example](./examples/clap/), as well
as several other crates which are actually used for integration testing.
Here is the output for the Watchexec CLI:
```plain
watchexec 1.21.1 (5026793 2023-03-05)

For comparison, here's `rustc -Vv`:
```plain
