Function kill_tree_with_config 

pub fn kill_tree_with_config(
    process_id: ProcessId,
    config: &Config,
) -> Result<Outputs>

Kills the target process and all of its children recursively using the given Config.

Platform-specifics

Windows

Internally, TerminateProcess from Win32 is used.

Linux, Macos

Internally, kill from libc is used.

Examples

Kill processes using the SIGKILL signal.

use kill_tree::{
    blocking::kill_tree_with_config, get_available_max_process_id, Config, Result,
};

fn main() -> Result<()> {
    let target_process_id = get_available_max_process_id(); // Replace with your target process ID.
    let config = Config {
        signal: String::from("SIGKILL"),
        ..Default::default()
    };
    let _ = kill_tree_with_config(target_process_id, &config)?;
    Ok(())
}

Kills all children except the target process.

use kill_tree::{
    blocking::kill_tree_with_config, get_available_max_process_id, Config, Result,
};

fn main() -> Result<()> {
    let target_process_id = get_available_max_process_id(); // Replace with your target process ID.
    let config = Config {
        include_target: false,
        ..Default::default()
    };
    let _ = kill_tree_with_config(target_process_id, &config)?;
    Ok(())
}

Errors

InvalidProcessId

Returns the process ID of the kernel or system, or if greater than the available maximum process ID.

InvalidCast

Returned internally when an invalid type conversion occurs during a system API call.
This is an error that should not occur under normal circumstances.

InvalidProcEntry

Returned when inquiry, or parsing within the Linux /proc/ path fails.

Io

Returned when access within the Linux /proc/ path fails.

Windows

Returned when the Win32 API used internally fails.

Unix

Returned when the libc API used internally fails.
