Examples

use loopdev::LoopControl;
let lc = LoopControl::open().unwrap();
let ld = lc.next_free().unwrap();

println!("{}", ld.path().unwrap().display());

ld.attach_file("disk.img").unwrap();
// ...
ld.detach().unwrap();

Development

Running The Tests Locally

Unfortunately the tests require root only syscalls and thus must be run as root. There is little point in mocking out these syscalls as I want to test they actually function as expected and if they were to be mocked out then the tests would not really be testing anything useful.
