Struct AsyncPidFd 

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

An async wrapper around PidFd for asynchronous process waiting.

This type allows waiting for a process to exit asynchronously, integrating with async runtimes via the async-io crate. The pidfd becomes readable when the process exits.

Only available when the async feature is enabled (which is the default).

Implementations

impl AsyncPidFd

pub async fn wait(&self) -> Result<ExitStatus>

Asynchronously waits for the process to exit and returns its exit status.

This method waits until the pidfd becomes readable (which happens when the process exits), then retrieves the exit status.

Examples

#![cfg_attr(feature = "nightly", feature(linux_pidfd))]
use pidfd_util::{PidFd, PidFdExt, AsyncPidFd};

let pidfd = PidFd::from_pid(1234)?;
let async_pidfd: AsyncPidFd = pidfd.try_into()?;
let status = async_pidfd.wait().await?;

Trait Implementations

impl TryFrom<PidFd> for AsyncPidFd

type Error = Error

The type returned in the event of a conversion error.

fn try_from(pifd: PidFd) -> Result<Self, Error>

Performs the conversion.
