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.*
Usage
