# Process Control

This crate allows running a process with resource limits, such as a time, and
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 setting limits are available on [`ChildExt`], which is implemented
for [`Child`]. They each return a builder of options to configure how the limit
should be applied.

***Warning****: This crate should not be used for security. There are
many ways that a process can bypass resource limits. The limits are only
intended for simple restriction of harmless processes.*

[![GitHub Build Status](https://github.com/dylni/process_control/workflows/build/badge.svg?branch=master)](https://github.com/dylni/process_control/actions?query=branch%3Amaster)

## Usage

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

```toml
[dependencies]
process_control = "3.2"
```

See the [documentation] for available functionality and examples.

## Rust version support

The minimum supported Rust toolchain version is currently Rust 1.54.0.

Minor version updates may increase this version requirement. However, the
previous two Rust releases will always be supported. If the minimum Rust
version must not be increased, use a tilde requirement to prevent updating this
crate's minor version:

```toml
[dependencies]
process_control = "~3.2"
```
