Struct TimeoutCommand

pub struct TimeoutCommand { /* private fields */ }

Spawn a child process, with a maximum duration and capture its output. See also RunningProcess.

Implementations

impl TimeoutCommand

pub fn new(max_duration: Duration) -> Self

Create a new time-limited command. The sub-process will run at most as long as the argument specifies. See TimeoutCommand::spawn for actually creating the sub-process.

pub fn feed_stdin(&mut self, data: &[u8])

Feed the sub-process the specified binary data via its standard input. If this method is not used, the sub-process stdin will be fed no data. The sub-process stdin always comes from a pipe, however, so if this method is not used, the effect is that stdin comes from /dev/null or another empty file.

pub fn spawn(&self, command: Command) -> Result<RunningProcess, TimeoutError>

Start a new sub-process to execute the specified command.

The caller should set up the std::process::Command value. This method will redirect stdin, stdout, and stderr to use pipes.
