The ProcessOutput struct represents the output of a finished child process,
and the Command struct is a process builder.
use std::process::Command;
fn main() {
let output = Command::new("rustc")
.arg("--version")
.output().unwrap_or_else(|e| {
panic!("failed to execute process: {}", e)
});
if output.status.success() {
let s = String::from_utf8_lossy(&output.stdout);
print!("rustc succeeded and stdout was:\n{}", s);
} else {
let s = String::from_utf8_lossy(&output.stderr);
print!("rustc failed and stderr was:\n{}", s);
}
}
(You are encouraged to try the previous example with an incorrect flag passed
to rustc)
