Std.Process.drain

1 declaration

fn

drain: &Std.Process.Started -> Result[Str, Str]

This is a callable function.

What it does

Everything a program writes, read until it stops writing.

The form to reach for when the output is wanted whole but the program is

long-running enough that starting it and waiting would hold its pipe until

it filled.

Read the signature

  • The text after the name is the type checked by Pudu.
  • Read arrows from left to right: inputs come first, and the final type is returned.
  • & borrows a value for this call instead of moving or copying it.
  • Names inside [ ] are type arguments, such as the item type held by a collection.
  • Result makes success and recoverable failure part of the function's type.
