Struct std::process::ChildStdout

pub struct ChildStdout { /* fields omitted */ }

A handle to a child process's standard output (stdout).

This struct is used in the stdout field on Child.

When an instance of ChildStdout is dropped, the ChildStdout's underlying file handle will be closed.

Trait Implementations

impl AsRawFd for ChildStdout

This is supported on Unix only.

pub fn as_raw_fd(&self) -> RawFd

Extracts the raw file descriptor.

impl AsRawHandle for ChildStdout

This is supported on Windows only.

pub fn as_raw_handle(&self) -> RawHandle

Extracts the raw handle, without taking any ownership.

impl Debug for ChildStdout

pub fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl From<ChildStdout> for Stdio

pub fn from(child: ChildStdout) -> Stdio

Converts a ChildStdout into a Stdio

Examples

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

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

let hello = Command::new("echo")
    .arg("Hello, world!")
    .stdout(Stdio::piped())
    .spawn()
    .expect("failed echo command");

let reverse = Command::new("rev")
    .stdin(hello.stdout.unwrap())  // Converted into a Stdio here
    .output()
    .expect("failed reverse command");

assert_eq!(reverse.stdout, b"!dlrow ,olleH\n");

impl IntoRawFd for ChildStdout

This is supported on Unix only.

pub fn into_raw_fd(self) -> RawFd

Consumes this object, returning the raw underlying file descriptor.

impl IntoRawHandle for ChildStdout

This is supported on Windows only.

pub fn into_raw_handle(self) -> RawHandle

Consumes this object, returning the raw underlying handle.

impl Read for ChildStdout

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

Pull some bytes from this source into the specified buffer, returning how many bytes were read.

pub fn read_vectored(&mut self, bufs: &mut [IoSliceMut<'_>]) -> Result<usize>

Like read, except that it reads into a slice of buffers.

pub fn is_read_vectored(&self) -> bool

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (can_vector #69941)

Determines if this Reader has an efficient read_vectored implementation.

pub unsafe fn initializer(&self) -> Initializer

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (read_initializer #42788)

Determines if this Reader can work with buffers of uninitialized memory.

pub fn read_to_end(&mut self, buf: &mut Vec<u8>) -> Result<usize>

Read all bytes until EOF in this source, placing them into buf.

pub fn read_to_string(&mut self, buf: &mut String) -> Result<usize>

Read all bytes until EOF in this source, appending them to buf.

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

Read the exact number of bytes required to fill buf.

pub fn by_ref(&mut self) -> &mut Self where
    Self: Sized, 

Creates a "by reference" adaptor for this instance of Read.

pub fn bytes(self) -> Bytes<Self> where
    Self: Sized, 

Transforms this Read instance to an Iterator over its bytes.

pub fn chain<R: Read>(self, next: R) -> Chain<Self, R> where
    Self: Sized, 

Creates an adaptor which will chain this stream with another.

pub fn take(self, limit: u64) -> Take<Self> where
    Self: Sized, 

Creates an adaptor which will read at most limit bytes from it.
