1//! Streaming and async iteration support
2//!
3//! This module provides async streaming capabilities similar to JavaScript's
4//! async iterators and stream handling in `$.stream-utils.mjs`.
5//!
6//! It mirrors the JavaScript implementation's behavior for issue #155:
7//!
8//! 1. The stream yields an explicit `OutputChunk::Exit(code)` when the
9//! process exits, so consumers can observe the exit code from inside the
10//! loop.
11//! 2. The stream does not hang forever when the process has exited but a
12//! grandchild keeps the stdio pipes open (the readers are drained with a
13//! grace period and then aborted).
14//! 3. The process can be stopped from inside the loop via
15//! [`OutputStream::kill`] / [`OutputStream::kill_with`], and abandoning the
16//! stream (e.g. `break`) also stops the process.
17//! 4. The stop signal is configurable via
18//! [`StreamingRunner::kill_signal`] (default `SIGTERM`), just like the
19//! JavaScript `killSignal` option.
20//!
21//! ## Usage
22//!
23//! ```rust,no_run
24//! use command_stream::{StreamingRunner, OutputChunk};
25//!
26//! #[tokio::main]
27//! async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
28//! let runner = StreamingRunner::new("yes hello");
29//!
30//! // Stream output as it arrives
31//! let mut stream = runner.stream();
32//! let mut count = 0;
33//! while let Some(chunk) = stream.next().await {
34//! match chunk {
35//! OutputChunk::Stdout(data) => {
36//! print!("{}", String::from_utf8_lossy(&data));
37//! count += 1;
38//! if count >= 5 {
39//! // Stop the process from inside the loop.
40//! stream.kill();
41//! }
42//! }
43//! OutputChunk::Stderr(data) => {
44//! eprint!("{}", String::from_utf8_lossy(&data));
45//! }
46//! OutputChunk::Exit(code) => {
47//! println!("Process exited with code: {}", code);
48//! break;
49//! }
50//! }
51//! }
52//!
53//! Ok(())
54//! }
55//! ```
