Trait duct::ToExecutable
[−]
[src]
pub trait ToExecutable {
fn to_executable(self) -> OsString;
}An implementation detail of cmd, to distinguish paths from
other string types.
Path("foo.sh") means the file named foo.sh in the current directory.
However if you try to execute that path with
std::process::Command,
Unix will get upset that it doesn't have a leading ./. Rust knows that the
string is a path, but that distinction gets lost by the time execution
happens.
To execute relative paths correctly, Rust prepends the ./ to them
automatically. This trait captures the distinction between the path types
and other types of strings, which don't get modified. See the trait bounds
on cmd.
