LibOS

LibOS is a modern C++17 library that makes OS-specific features cross-platform.

Ever tried to get Windows version after Windows 8? Or to send keystrokes on all most popular platforms? Then you must understand what a pain it is. Those wondering "What the hell is an X server and do I have it???" welcome to use our library!

Features

• OS and Kernel Info
• Keyboard Input

Documentation

Documentation can be found here. Work in progress.

Dependencies

If you use keyboard features on Linux, you need to install libxtst-dev:

sudo apt-get install libxtst-dev

P.S: most likely it's already installed

Getting started

There are 2 ways to install the library for your convenience:

• CMake (prefered)
• Header-only

CMake

1. Download sources

   git clone https://github.com/gavrilikhin-d/libos
   

2. Make build directory in repo's root folder

   mkdir build
   cd build
   

3. Configure CMake
   With GUI:

   ccmake ..
   

   Without GUI:

   cmake -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr/local ..
   

4. Build

   cmake --build .
   

5. Install

   sudo cmake --install .
   

Header-only

Just #include files from os/header-only as needed.

NOTE: Compile with -std=c++17 or greater.

NOTE: When compiling on Linux, link -lX11 -lXtst if you are using os/header-only/keyboard.hpp.
