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 Debug for ChildStdout

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl From<ChildStdout> for Stdio

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 Read for ChildStdout

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Read the exact number of bytes required to fill buf.

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

Creates a “by reference” adapter for this instance of Read.

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

Transforms this Read instance to an Iterator over its bytes.

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

Creates an adapter which will chain this stream with another.

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

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