    Dependencies

    ProcessError

    source
    pub(all) suberror ProcessError {
      SpawnFailed(detail~ : String)
      WaitFailed(detail~ : String)
      KillFailed(detail~ : String)
    } derive(Eq)

    Failures while spawning or managing a child process.

    ProcessError::equal

    source

    ProcessError::not_equal

    source
    fn ProcessError::not_equal(x : ProcessError, y : ProcessError) -> Bool

    ProcessError::output

    source
    fn ProcessError::output(self : ProcessError, logger : &Logger) -> Unit

    ProcessError::to_string

    source
    fn ProcessError::to_string(self : ProcessError) -> String

    Process

    source
    pub struct Process {
      // private fields
    }

    A native child process handle.

    Created by Process::spawn and must be explicitly closed via Process::close to release native resources. The handle is not thread-safe and must be used from the thread that created it.

    Process::close

    source
    fn Process::close(self : Process) -> Unit

    Releases native resources associated with this process handle. After calling this, the handle is no longer valid.

    Process::kill

    source
    fn Process::kill(self : Process) -> Unit raise ProcessError

    Terminates the process. On POSIX this sends SIGTERM; on Windows it calls TerminateProcess. Safe to call after the process has already exited.

    Process::pid

    source
    fn Process::pid(self : Process) -> Int

    Returns the operating system process ID.

    Process::spawn

    source
    fn Process::spawn(command : String, args? : Array[String], cwd? : String?, capture_output? : Bool) -> Process raise ProcessError

    Spawns a new child process.

    • command: the program to execute (e.g. "ls", "cmd.exe").
    • args~: command-line arguments.
    • cwd~: optional working directory; None inherits the parent's.
    • capture_output~: reserved for future use; currently ignored.

    Process::try_wait

    source
    fn Process::try_wait(self : Process) -> Int? raise ProcessError

    Non-blocking wait. Returns Some(exit_code) if the process has exited, or None if it is still running.

    Process::wait

    source
    fn Process::wait(self : Process) -> Int raise ProcessError

    Blocking wait for the process to exit. Returns the exit code.

    State

    source
    pub type State

    Represents a native child process managed by the current platform.
