subprocess 0.1.8

//! Execution of and interaction with external processes and pipelines.
//!
//! The entry points to the crate are the [`Popen`] struct and the
//! [`Exec`] builder.  `Popen` is the interface to a running child
//! process, modeled after Python's [`subprocess.Popen`], with
//! modifications to make it fit to Rust.  `Exec` provides a Rustic
//! builder-style API with convenient methods for streaming and
//! capturing of output, as well as combining `Popen` instances into
//! pipelines.
//!
//! Compared to `std::process`, the module follows the following
//! additional features:
//!
//! * The [`communicate`] method for deadlock-free reading of subprocess
//!   output/error, while simultaneously providing it stdin.
//!
//! * Advanced [redirection options], such as connecting standard
//!   streams to arbitary [open files], or [merging] output streams
//!   like shell's `2>&1` and `1>&2` operators.
//!
//! * Non-blocking and timeout methods to wait on the process:
//!   [`poll`], [`wait`], and [`wait_timeout`].
//!
//! * Connecting multiple commands into OS-level [pipelines].
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! Communicate with a process and optionally terminate it:
//!
//! ```
//! # use subprocess::*;
//! # fn dummy() -> Result<()> {
//! let mut p = Popen::create(&["ps", "x"], PopenConfig {
//!     stdout: Redirection::Pipe, ..Default::default()
//! })?;
//!
//! // Obtain the output from the standard streams.
//! let (out, err) = p.communicate(None)?;
//!
//! if let Some(exit_status) = p.poll() {
//!     // the process has finished
//! } else {
//!     // it is still running, terminate it
//!     p.terminate()?;
//! }
//! # Ok(())
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! Use the [`Exec`] builder to execute a pipeline of commands and
//! capture the output:
//!
//! ```no_run
//! # use subprocess::*;
//! # fn dummy() -> Result<()> {
//! let dir_checksum = {
//!     Exec::shell("find . -type f") | Exec::cmd("sort") | Exec::cmd("sha1sum")
//! }.capture()?.stdout_str();
//! # Ok(())
//! # }
//! ```
