Struct External 

pub struct External(/* private fields */);

Used to open file externally (with other programs). Most of the files are “opened” this way, only archives which could be decompressed interally aren’t.

It holds a path to the file (as a string, for convernience) and a flag set to true if the file is opened in a terminal.

• without a terminal, the file is opened by its application,
• with a terminal, it starts a new terminal (from configuration) and then the program.

Implementations

impl External

pub fn use_term(&self) -> bool

pub fn open_shell_in_window() -> Result<()>

Open a new shell in current window. Disable raw mode, clear the screen, start a new shell ($SHELL, default to bash). Wait… Once the shell exits, Clear the screen and renable raw mode.

It’s the responsability of the caller to ensure displayer doesn’t try to override the display.

pub fn open_command_in_window(args: &[&str]) -> Result<()>

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for External

fn clone(&self) -> External

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for External

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Hash for External

fn hash<__H: Hasher>(&self, state: &mut __H)

Feeds this value into the given Hasher.

fn hash_slice<H>(data: &[Self], state: &mut H)

where H: Hasher, Self: Sized,

Feeds a slice of this type into the given Hasher.

impl PartialEq for External

fn eq(&self, other: &External) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
