# Process Control

This crate allows running a process with a timeout, with the option to
terminate it automatically afterward. The latter is surprisingly difficult to
achieve on Unix, since process identifiers can be arbitrarily reassigned when
no longer used. Thus, it would be extremely easy to inadvertently terminate an
unexpected process. This crate protects against that possibility.

Methods for creating timeouts are available on [`ChildExt`], which is
implemented for [`Child`]. They each return a builder of options to configure
how the timeout should be applied.
