The IOKit-sys package provides declarations and linkage for the IOKit C library on OS X. Following the *-sys package conventions, the IOKit-sys package does not define higher-level abstractions over the native library.

Add IOKit-sys as a dependency in Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
IOKit-sys = "0.1"

Import the IOKit_sys crate and use the functions as they're defined in the native IOKit library provided by Apple.

extern crate IOKit_sys as io;

You may find that you need some functionality that is missing from IOKit-sys. If that's the case, please open an issue on Github or send a pull request with the added functionality.

If you plan to submit a pull request, please note the structure of the code. There is one file for each header file in the IOKit framework. For example, src/io_return.rs contains the definitions from IOKit/IOReturn.h. The definitions in each file are more or less in the same order that they appear in the matching header file. Each file is then re-exported in the crate root, e.g., pub use io_return::*.
