Struct Skim 

pub struct Skim {}

Implementations

impl Skim

pub fn run_with( options: &SkimOptions<'_>, source: Option<SkimItemReceiver>, ) -> Option<SkimOutput>

params:

• options: the “complex” options that control how skim behaves
• source: a stream of items to be passed to skim for filtering. If None is given, skim will invoke the command given to fetch the items.

return:

• None: on internal errors.
• SkimOutput: the collected key, event, query, selected items, etc.
