Process Control

This crate allows terminating a process without a mutable reference. ProcessTerminator::terminate is designed to operate in this manner and is the reason this crate exists. It intentionally does not require a reference of any kind to the Child instance, allowing for maximal flexibility in working with processes.

Typically, it is not possible to terminate a process during a call to Child::wait or Child::wait_with_output in another thread, since Child::kill takes a mutable reference. However, since this crate creates its own termination method, there is no issue, allowing system resources to be freed when using methods such as ChildExt::with_output_timeout.

Usage

Add the following lines to your "Cargo.toml" file:

[dependencies]
process_control = "0.5"

See the documentation for available functionality and examples.
