This crate contains API bindings for [WASI](https://github.com/WebAssembly/WASI)
system calls in Rust, and currently reflects the `wasi_snapshot_preview1`
module. This crate is quite low-level and provides conceptually a "system call"
interface. In most settings, it's better to use the Rust standard library, which
has WASI support.

The `wasi` crate is also entirely procedurally generated from the `*.witx` files
describing the WASI apis. While some conveniences are provided the bindings here
are intentionally low-level!

# Usage

First you can depend on this crate via `Cargo.toml`:

```toml
[dependencies]
wasi = "0.8.0"
```

Next you can use the APIs in the root of the module like so:

```rust
fn main() {
    let stdout = 1;
    let message = "Hello, World!\n";
    let data = [wasi::Ciovec {
        buf: message.as_ptr(),
        buf_len: message.len(),
    }];
    wasi::fd_write(stdout, &data).unwrap();
}
```

Next you can use a tool like [`cargo
wasi`](https://github.com/bytecodealliance/cargo-wasi) to compile and run your
project:

To compile Rust projects to wasm using WASI, use the `wasm32-wasi` target,
like this:

```
$ cargo wasi run
   Compiling wasi v0.8.0+wasi-snapshot-preview1
   Compiling wut v0.1.0 (/code)
    Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.34s
     Running `/.cargo/bin/cargo-wasi target/wasm32-wasi/debug/wut.wasm`
     Running `target/wasm32-wasi/debug/wut.wasm`
Hello, World!
```

# Development

The bulk of the `wasi` crate is generated by the `witx-bindgen` tool, which lives at
`crates/witx-bindgen` and is part of the cargo workspace.

The `src/lib_generated.rs` file can be re-generated with the following
command:

```
cargo run -p witx-bindgen -- crates/witx-bindgen/WASI/phases/snapshot/witx/wasi_snapshot_preview1.witx > src/lib_generated.rs
```

Note that this uses the WASI standard repository as a submodule. If you do not
have this submodule present in your source tree, run:
```
git submodule update --init
```
