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.

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

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.

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.

GPL 2.0, matching libpafe itself.
