Struct tectonic::driver::ProcessingSession

pub struct ProcessingSession { /* fields omitted */ }

The ProcessingSession struct runs the whole show when we’re actually processing a file. It understands, for example, the need to re-run the TeX engine if the .aux file changed.

Implementations

impl ProcessingSession

pub fn run(&mut self, status: &mut dyn StatusBackend) -> Result<()>

Runs the session, generating the desired outputs.

What this does depends on which PassSetting you asked for. The most common choice is PassSetting::Default, in which case this method does the following:

• if a .fmt file does not yet exist, generate one and cache it
• run the TeX engine once
• run BibTeX, if it seems to be required
• repeat the last two steps as often as needed
• write the output files to disk, including a Makefile if it was requested.

pub fn get_stdout_content(&self) -> Vec<u8>

Get what was printed to standard output, if anything.

pub fn into_file_data(self) -> MemoryFileCollection

Consume this session and return the current set of files in memory.

This convenience function tries to help with the annoyances of getting access to the in-memory file data after the engine has been run.
