Crate pipelight_exec

!! API not stabilized - lacking documentation - do not use !!

About

Pipelight_exec is a crate for easy process management. It makes a best effort to leverage standard library.

Features:

• Spawn and Kill background processes.

• Display a detached running process standard outputs.

• Get process execution time.

• Interoperability with rustix and sysinfo crates.

Example

Spawn a simple process in the background. or in other words, execute a process and detach it.

It keeps running after parent process exit and terminal exit.

let mut process = Process::new("echo test");
process.run_detached()?;

Pipe the process standards outputs to the parent.

let mut process = Process::new("echo test");
process.run_detached()?;

Find a running process, with handy search options.

let process_finder = Finder::new().seed("my_proc").root("/my/dir").search()?;

let pid = 1792;
let process_finder = Finder::new().pid(&pid).search()?;

Structs

• Finder
• Io
  A struct that stores the procees standards input and outputs into human readable strings.
• Process
  A struct that stores the process attributes for further access and manipulation.
• SelfProcess
• State
  A convenience struct to store the process status and its duration.

Enums

• Status
  An enum for the different possible process state.

Traits

• Statuable
  In pipelight, many are the structs and enum substructs that have a status. This trait is to query the deepenth status in a more standardize way.
