}Expand description
Unix-specific extensions to the Command builder.
Required methods
Sets the child process’s user ID. This translates to a
setuid call in the child process. Failure in the setuid
call will cause the spawn to fail.
Similar to uid, but sets the group ID of the child process. This has
the same semantics as the uid field.
Schedules a closure to be run just before the exec function is
invoked.
The closure is allowed to return an I/O error whose OS error code will be communicated back to the parent and returned as an error from when the spawn was requested.
Multiple closures can be registered and they will be called in order of
their registration. If a closure returns Err then no further closures
will be called and the spawn operation will immediately return with a
failure.
Safety
This closure will be run in the context of the child process after a
fork. This primarily means that any modifications made to memory on
behalf of this closure will not be visible to the parent process.
This is often a very constrained environment where normal operations
like malloc or acquiring a mutex are not guaranteed to work (due to
other threads perhaps still running when the fork was run).
This also means that all resources such as file descriptors and memory-mapped regions got duplicated. It is your responsibility to make sure that the closure does not violate library invariants by making invalid use of these duplicates.
When this closure is run, aspects such as the stdio file descriptors and working directory have successfully been changed, so output to these locations may not appear where intended.
Performs all the required setup by this Command, followed by calling
the execvp syscall.
On success this function will not return, and otherwise it will return
an error indicating why the exec (or another part of the setup of the
Command) failed.
exec not returning has the same implications as calling
std::process::exit – no destructors on the current stack or any other
thread’s stack will be run. Therefore, it is recommended to only call
exec at a point where it is fine to not run any destructors. Note,
that the execvp syscall independently guarantees that all memory is
freed and all file descriptors with the CLOEXEC option (set by default
on all file descriptors opened by the standard library) are closed.
This function, unlike spawn, will not fork the process to create
a new child. Like spawn, however, the default behavior for the stdio
descriptors will be to inherited from the current process.
Notes
The process may be in a “broken state” if this function returns in
error. For example the working directory, environment variables, signal
handling settings, various user/group information, or aspects of stdio
file descriptors may have changed. If a “transactional spawn” is
required to gracefully handle errors it is recommended to use the
cross-platform spawn instead.
