linux-kernel-cmdline
experimentalv0.1.1
A parser for the Linux kernel command line (/proc/cmdline), supporting both byte-level and UTF-8 parsing with proper quote handling and dash/underscore equivalence for parameter keys.
66
syscall-numbers
stablev4.0.3
System calls numbers for various architectures
65
multiboot2
growingv0.25.0
Convenient and safe parsing of Multiboot2 Boot Information (MBI) structures and the contained information tags. Usable in `no_std` environments, such as a kernel. An optional builder feature also allows the construction of the corresponding structures.
