Crate ptyprocess

Ptyprocess library provides an interface for a PTY/TTY communications.

use ptyprocess::PtyProcess;
use std::process::Command;
use std::io::{Read, Write};

let mut process = PtyProcess::spawn(Command::new("cat")).expect("failed to spawn a process");

process.write_all(b"hello cat\n").expect("failed to write");
let mut buf = vec![0; 128];
let size = process.read(&mut buf).expect("failed to read");
assert_eq!(&buf[..size], b"hello cat\r\n");

let sucess = process.exit(true).expect("failed to exit");

assert_eq!(sucess, true);

Async

The library provides an async IO operations for communication. To be able to use them you must to provide a feature flag [async] and turn off default features default-features = false

Example

use ptyprocess::PtyProcess;
use std::process::Command;

let mut process = PtyProcess::spawn(Command::new("cat")).expect("failed to spawn a process");

process.send_line("hello cat").await.expect("failed writing");
