Struct std::process::ChildStdin

pub struct ChildStdin { /* fields omitted */ }

A handle to a child process's standard input (stdin).

This struct is used in the stdin field on Child.

When an instance of ChildStdin is dropped, the ChildStdin's underlying file handle will be closed. If the child process was blocked on input prior to being dropped, it will become unblocked after dropping.

Trait Implementations

impl Write for ChildStdin

fn write(&mut self, buf: &[u8]) -> Result<usize>

Write a buffer into this writer, returning how many bytes were written.

fn write_vectored(&mut self, bufs: &[IoSlice]) -> Result<usize>

Like write, except that it writes from a slice of buffers.

fn flush(&mut self) -> Result<()>

Flush this output stream, ensuring that all intermediately buffered contents reach their destination.

fn write_all(&mut self, buf: &[u8]) -> Result<()>

Attempts to write an entire buffer into this writer.

fn write_fmt(&mut self, fmt: Arguments) -> Result<()>

Writes a formatted string into this writer, returning any error encountered.

impl AsRawFd for ChildStdin

fn as_raw_fd(&self) -> RawFd

This is supported on Unix only.

Extracts the raw file descriptor.

impl IntoRawFd for ChildStdin

fn into_raw_fd(self) -> RawFd

This is supported on Unix only.

Consumes this object, returning the raw underlying file descriptor.

impl AsRawHandle for ChildStdin

fn as_raw_handle(&self) -> RawHandle

This is supported on Windows only.

Extracts the raw handle, without taking any ownership.

impl IntoRawHandle for ChildStdin

fn into_raw_handle(self) -> RawHandle

This is supported on Windows only.

Consumes this object, returning the raw underlying handle.

impl Debug for ChildStdin

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl From<ChildStdin> for Stdio

fn from(child: ChildStdin) -> Stdio

Converts a ChildStdin into a Stdio

Examples

ChildStdin will be converted to Stdio using Stdio::from under the hood.

use std::process::{Command, Stdio};

let reverse = Command::new("rev")
    .stdin(Stdio::piped())
    .spawn()
    .expect("failed reverse command");

let _echo = Command::new("echo")
    .arg("Hello, world!")
    .stdout(reverse.stdin.unwrap()) // Converted into a Stdio here
    .output()
    .expect("failed echo command");

// "!dlrow ,olleH" echoed to console
