Std.Process.stop

fn

This is a callable function.

What it does

Stop a program, and wait until it is actually gone.

Waiting is what makes this an answer rather than a request: a caller that

stopped a program and moved on would leave it being cleaned up at some

later moment, and anything checking it had stopped would be right only

sometimes.

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.
