thoroughness, understanding
libc 0.2.89
positive
2021-03-17
low, medium

This crate contains unsafe bindings to platform-specific C functions. The
project has an expansive CI pipeline that runs ctest on Linux, macOS,
FreeBSD, and Windows. Where possible, the testing is done on multiple
architectures with different libc implementations.

Most of the crate is marked unsafe, but that's just the nature of the beast.

I only looked at one module, unix, so thoroughness is capped at "low".
However, the crate comes from the same people who build Rust itself, so this
doesn't affect the rating.

Given it's just a list of declarations, which are then automatically checked,
I'm fairly confident that this code does what it's supposed to do.
