unitbus vs qjournal vs systemdzbus
Side-by-side comparison of Rust crates
47
unitbus
experimentalv0.1.7
Rust SDK for Linux systemd: control units/jobs via D-Bus (systemctl-like), run transient tasks, and query journald logs (sdjournal default, optional journalctl JSON).
49
qjournal
experimentalv0.1.1
Cross-platform native systemd-journald compatible journal reader/writer
47
systemdzbus
experimentalv0.1.7
Interact with systemd through DBus with a convenient rust interface. All of the initial types were automatically generated by the CLI tool 'zbus-xmlgen'. From here I just copied the documentation from the systemd man page to get good descriptions for each function.
