Struct std::process::ChildStdin

pub struct ChildStdin { /* private fields */ }

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 AsFd for ChildStdin

This is supported on Unix only.

fn as_fd(&self) -> BorrowedFd<'_>

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (io_safety #87074)

Borrows the file descriptor.

impl AsHandle for ChildStdin

This is supported on Windows only.

fn as_handle(&self) -> BorrowedHandle<'_>

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (io_safety #87074)

Borrows the handle.

impl AsRawFd for ChildStdin

This is supported on Unix only.

fn as_raw_fd(&self) -> RawFd

Extracts the raw file descriptor.

impl AsRawHandle for ChildStdin

This is supported on Windows only.

fn as_raw_handle(&self) -> RawHandle

Extracts the raw handle.

impl Debug for ChildStdin

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl From<ChildStdin> for OwnedFd

This is supported on Unix only.

fn from(child_stdin: ChildStdin) -> OwnedFd

Converts to this type from the input type.

impl From<ChildStdin> for OwnedHandle

This is supported on Windows only.

fn from(child_stdin: ChildStdin) -> OwnedHandle

Converts to this type from the input type.

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

impl IntoRawFd for ChildStdin

This is supported on Unix only.

fn into_raw_fd(self) -> RawFd

Consumes this object, returning the raw underlying file descriptor.

impl IntoRawHandle for ChildStdin

This is supported on Windows only.

fn into_raw_handle(self) -> RawHandle

Consumes this object, returning the raw underlying handle.

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 is_write_vectored(&self) -> bool

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

Determines if this Writer has an efficient write_vectored implementation.

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_all_vectored(&mut self, bufs: &mut [IoSlice<'_>]) -> Result<()>

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (write_all_vectored #70436)

Attempts to write multiple buffers into this writer.

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

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

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

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

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>
