wait-timeout 0.1.4

A crate to wait on a child process with a timeout specified across Unix and Windows platforms.
Documentation
//! A crate to wait on a child process with a particular timeout.
//!
//! This crate is an implementation for Unix and Windows of the ability to wait
//! on a child process with a timeout specified. On Windows the implementation
//! is fairly trivial as it's just a call to `WaitForSingleObject` with a
//! timeout argument, but on Unix the implementation is much more involved. The
//! current implementation registeres a `SIGCHLD` handler and initializes some
//! global state. If your application is otherwise handling `SIGCHLD` then bugs
//! may arise.
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```no_run
//! use std::process::Command;
//! use wait_timeout::ChildExt;
//! use std::time::Duration;
//!
//! let mut child = Command::new("foo").spawn().unwrap();
//!
//! let one_sec = Duration::from_secs(1);
//! let status_code = match child.wait_timeout(one_sec).unwrap() {
//!     Some(status) => status.code(),
//!     None => {
//!         // child hasn't exited yet
//!         child.kill().unwrap();
//!         child.wait().unwrap().code()
//!     }
//! };
//! ```

    /// spurious errors or have odd behavior on some platforms. If this
    /// function returns `Ok(None)`, however, it is safe to wait on the child
    /// with the normal libstd `wait` method.
