Module mcfg::actions

These actions are complete stand-alone entry points for the command-line tools. These may be invoked by other tools, however they may have side-effects such as writing to stdout.

Example

The following is an example Action implementation that does very little. To understand how to use existing actions, or create new ones, see the User Guide.

use mcfg::actions::Action;
use mcfg::error::Result;

#[derive(Debug)]
pub struct ExampleAction {}

impl Action for ExampleAction {
    fn run(&self) -> Result<()> {
        println!("ListAction::run {:?}", self);
        Ok(())
    }
}

impl ExampleAction {
    pub fn new() -> Result<Box<dyn Action>> {
        Ok(Box::from(ExampleAction {}))
    }
}
