Function run_command 

pub fn run_command<C: AsCommand + ?Sized, P: AsRef<Path>>(
    cmd: &C,
    dir: Option<P>,
) -> Result<(), String>

Runs a system command.

Arguments

• cmd - The command to run. The command can be represented as a single string or a collection of strings, or as any other type that implements the crate::AsCommand trait.
• dir - Path to the directory that the command specified by cmd should be run in (can be a &str, String, Path, or std::path::PathBuf.). If None, the command is run in the current working directory.

Returns

A result where:

• Ok contains () if the command executes successfully (exit status zero).
• Err contains an error message if the command fails to run or exits with a non-zero status.

Example

use easy_cmd::run_command;
use std::path::Path;

// Run `git status` inside the current working directory (the `easy_cmd` repo).
//  --> Note: we have to disambiguate the `None` type to `None::<&str>` since the compiler
//      cannot infer the type of the path.
run_command("git status", None::<&str>).unwrap();

// Alternatively, we could run the same command using a collection of strings.
//  --> Note: like before, we have to disambiguate the `None` type to `None::<&str>` since the
//      compile cannot infer the type of the path.
run_command(&["git", "status"], None::<&str>).unwrap();

// If we want to run `ls -la` in the `src` directory, we can do it like this:
run_command("ls -la", Some("src")).unwrap();

// Alternatively, we could run the same command using a a collection of strings for the command
// and a `Path` for the directory:
run_command(&vec!["ls", "-la"], Some(Path::new("src"))).unwrap();
