pafe for Rust

This crate provides bindings for libpafe, a C library for interacting with Sony PaSoRi USB devices. These devices are USB readers for FeliCa IC cards, a kind of contactless smart card which is widely used in Japan - particularly for Japanese transit cards like Suica and the Edy electronic wallet.

There are two crates in this repo: pafe-sys, which provides low-level bindings to libpafe, and pafe, which provides high-level Rustic bindings. pafe-sys covers roughly 100% of libpafe's functionality, while pafe is still very incomplete.

Usage

You need to have a copy of libpafe installed to build this crate. If you use Homebrew on Mac, you can get it by running:

brew install mistydemeo/formulae/libpafe

pafe-sys

The second crate included in this repo, pafe-sys, is an automatically-generated low-level binding to libpafe with no niceties. I've lightly altered the types generated by rust-bindgen to fix some incompatibilities, but it's otherwise untouched. No documentation is provided since it maps exactly to the original C library; please refer to the upstream repository for more information.

I want to help!

Thank you! I'm still in the early stages of working on this, so the project structure may change frequently. PRs that add more high-level mappings of the lower-level functions are welcome.
