Struct cronrunner::crontab::reader::Reader

pub struct Reader;

Read current user’s crontab.

Reader only provides the read() function that outputs a String or a ReadError.

The String result can be fed to Parser::parse() for lexing and parsing.

Implementations

impl Reader

pub fn read() -> Result<String, ReadError>

Read current user’s crontab to a String.

Examples

use cronrunner::crontab::Reader;

let crontab: String = match Reader::read() {
    Ok(crontab) => crontab, // Output of `crontab -l` as string.
    Err(_) => return (),
};

Errors

Will return Err(ReadError) if the crontab cannot be read. This can happen when:

• The crontab -l command returns with a non-zero exit code or no exit code at all (process terminated).
• The crontab command fails (e.g., executable not found).
