Std.Process.run

1 declaration

fn

run: Str -> &Array[Str] -> Result[Std.Process.Finished, Str]

This is a callable function.

What it does

Run a program with arguments and no input, and collect what it produced.

A non-zero status is not a failure of this call: the program ran, and what

it decided is the answer. Only being unable to run it at all fails.

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.
