std/process.rs
1//! A module for working with processes.
2//!
3//! This module is mostly concerned with spawning and interacting with child
4//! processes, but it also provides [`abort`] and [`exit`] for terminating the
5//! current process.
6//!
7//! # Spawning a process
8//!
9//! The [`Command`] struct is used to configure and spawn processes:
10//!
11//! ```no_run
12//! use std::process::Command;
13//!
14//! let output = Command::new("echo")
15//! .arg("Hello world")
16//! .output()
17//! .expect("echo command should execute successfully");
18//!
19//! assert_eq!(b"Hello world\n", output.stdout.as_slice());
20//! ```
21//!
22//! Several methods on [`Command`], such as [`spawn`] or [`output`], can be used
23//! to spawn a process. In particular, [`output`] spawns the child process and
24//! waits until the process terminates, while [`spawn`] will return a [`Child`]
25//! that represents the spawned child process.
26//!
27//! # Handling I/O
28//!
29//! The [`stdout`], [`stdin`], and [`stderr`] of a child process can be
30//! configured by passing an [`Stdio`] to the corresponding method on
31//! [`Command`]. Once spawned, they can be accessed from the [`Child`]. For
32//! example, piping output from one command into another command can be done
33//! like so:
34//!
35//! ```no_run
36//! use std::process::{Command, Stdio};
37//!
38//! // stdout must be configured with `Stdio::piped` in order to use
39//! // `echo_child.stdout`
40//! let echo_child = Command::new("echo")
41//! .arg("Oh no, a tpyo!")
42//! .stdout(Stdio::piped())
43//! .spawn()
44//! .expect("echo command should start");
45//!
46//! // Note that `echo_child` is moved here, but we won't be needing
47//! // `echo_child` anymore
48//! let echo_out = echo_child.stdout.expect("child stdout should open");
49//!
50//! let mut sed_child = Command::new("sed")
51//! .arg("s/tpyo/typo/")
52//! .stdin(Stdio::from(echo_out))
53//! .stdout(Stdio::piped())
54//! .spawn()
55//! .expect("sed command should start");
56//!
57//! let output = sed_child.wait_with_output().expect("wait_with_output on sed should succeed");
58//! assert_eq!(b"Oh no, a typo!\n", output.stdout.as_slice());
59//! ```
60//!
61//! Note that [`ChildStderr`] and [`ChildStdout`] implement [`Read`] and
62//! [`ChildStdin`] implements [`Write`]:
63//!
64//! ```no_run
65//! use std::process::{Command, Stdio};
66//! use std::io::Write;
67//!
68//! let mut child = Command::new("/bin/cat")
69//! .stdin(Stdio::piped())
70//! .stdout(Stdio::piped())
71//! .spawn()
72//! .expect("child should start");
73//!
74//! // If the child process fills its stdout buffer, it may end up
75//! // waiting until the parent reads the stdout, and not be able to
76//! // read stdin in the meantime, causing a deadlock.
77//! // Writing from another thread ensures that stdout is being read
78//! // at the same time, avoiding the problem.
79//! let mut stdin = child.stdin.take().expect("stdin should be able to be retrieved");
80//! std::thread::spawn(move || {
81//! stdin.write_all(b"test").expect("writing to stdin should succeed");
82//! });
83//!
84//! let output = child
85//! .wait_with_output()
86//! .expect("wait_with_output on child should succeed");
87//!
88//! assert_eq!(b"test", output.stdout.as_slice());
89//! ```
90//!
91//! # Windows argument splitting
92//!
93//! On Unix systems arguments are passed to a new process as an array of strings,
94//! but on Windows arguments are passed as a single commandline string and it is
95//! up to the child process to parse it into an array. Therefore the parent and
96//! child processes must agree on how the commandline string is encoded.
97//!
98//! Most programs use the standard C run-time `argv`, which in practice results
99//! in consistent argument handling. However, some programs have their own way of
100//! parsing the commandline string. In these cases using [`arg`] or [`args`] may
101//! result in the child process seeing a different array of arguments than the
102//! parent process intended.
103//!
104//! Two ways of mitigating this are:
105//!
106//! * Validate untrusted input so that only a safe subset is allowed.
107//! * Use [`raw_arg`] to build a custom commandline. This bypasses the escaping
108//! rules used by [`arg`] so should be used with due caution.
109//!
110//! `cmd.exe` and `.bat` files use non-standard argument parsing and are especially
111//! vulnerable to malicious input as they may be used to run arbitrary shell
112//! commands. Untrusted arguments should be restricted as much as possible.
113//! For examples on handling this see [`raw_arg`].
114//!
115//! ### Batch file special handling
116//!
117//! On Windows, `Command` uses the Windows API function [`CreateProcessW`] to
118//! spawn new processes. An undocumented feature of this function is that
119//! when given a `.bat` file as the application to run, it will automatically
120//! convert that into running `cmd.exe /c` with the batch file as the next argument.
121//!
122//! For historical reasons Rust currently preserves this behavior when using
123//! [`Command::new`], and escapes the arguments according to `cmd.exe` rules.
124//! Due to the complexity of `cmd.exe` argument handling, it might not be
125//! possible to safely escape some special characters, and using them will result
126//! in an error being returned at process spawn. The set of unescapeable
127//! special characters might change between releases.
128//!
129//! Also note that running batch scripts in this way may be removed in the
130//! future and so should not be relied upon.

174/// Representation of a running or exited child process.
175///
176/// This structure is used to represent and manage child processes. A child
177/// process is created via the [`Command`] struct, which configures the
178/// spawning process and can itself be constructed using a builder-style
179/// interface.
180///
181/// There is no implementation of [`Drop`] for child processes,
182/// so if you do not ensure the `Child` has exited then it will continue to
183/// run, even after the `Child` handle to the child process has gone out of
184/// scope.
185///
186/// Calling [`wait`] (or other functions that wrap around it) will make
187/// the parent process wait until the child has actually exited before
188/// continuing.
189///
190/// # Warning
191///
192/// On some systems, calling [`wait`] or similar is necessary for the OS to
193/// release resources. A process that terminated but has not been waited on is
194/// still around as a "zombie". Leaving too many zombies around may exhaust
195/// global resources (for example process IDs).
196///
197/// The standard library does *not* automatically wait on child processes (not
198/// even if the `Child` is dropped), it is up to the application developer to do
199/// so. As a consequence, dropping `Child` handles without waiting on them first
200/// is not recommended in long-running applications.

555///
556/// let hello = output.stdout;
557/// # }
558/// ```
559///
560/// `Command` can be reused to spawn multiple processes. The builder methods
561/// change the command without needing to immediately spawn the process.
562///
563/// ```no_run
564/// use std::process::Command;
565///
566/// let mut echo_hello = Command::new("sh");
567/// echo_hello.arg("-c").arg("echo hello");
568/// let hello_1 = echo_hello.output().expect("process should execute successfully");
569/// let hello_2 = echo_hello.output().expect("process should execute successfully");
570/// ```
571///
572/// Similarly, you can call builder methods after spawning a process and then

618 /// The details below describe the current behavior, but these details
619 /// may change in future versions of Rust.
620 ///
621 /// On Unix, the `PATH` searched comes from the child's environment:
622 ///
623 /// - If the environment is unmodified, the child inherits the parent's
624 /// `PATH` and that is what is searched.
625 /// - If `PATH` is explicitly set via [`env`], that new value is searched.
626 /// - If [`env_clear`] or [`env_remove`] removes `PATH` without a
627 /// replacement, `execvp` falls back to an OS-defined default (typically
628 /// `/bin:/usr/bin`), **not** the parent's `PATH`. This may fail to find
629 /// programs that rely on the parent's `PATH`.
630 ///
631 /// To avoid surprises, use an absolute path or explicitly set `PATH` on
632 /// the `Command` when modifying the child's environment.
633 ///
634 /// On Windows, Rust resolves the executable path before spawning, rather
635 /// than passing the name to `CreateProcessW` for resolution. When
636 /// `program` is not an absolute path, the following locations are searched
637 /// in order:
638 ///
639 /// 1. The child's `PATH`, if explicitly set via [`env`].
640 /// 2. The directory of the current executable.
641 /// 3. The system directory (`GetSystemDirectoryW`).
642 /// 4. The Windows directory (`GetWindowsDirectoryW`).
643 /// 5. The parent process's `PATH`.
644 ///
645 /// Note: when `PATH` is cleared via [`env_clear`] or [`env_remove`] on
646 /// Windows, step 1 is skipped but the parent process's `PATH` is still
647 /// searched at step 5, unlike on Unix.
648 ///
649 /// For executable files, the `.exe` extension may be omitted. Files with
650 /// other extensions must include the extension, otherwise they will not be
651 /// found. Note that this behavior has some known limitations

2499/// This function will never return and will immediately terminate the current
2500/// process. The exit code is passed through to the underlying OS and will be
2501/// available for consumption by another process.
2502///
2503/// Note that because this function never returns, and that it terminates the
2504/// process, no destructors on the current stack or any other thread's stack
2505/// will be run. If a clean shutdown is needed it is recommended to only call
2506/// this function at a known point where there are no more destructors left
2507/// to run; or, preferably, simply return a type implementing [`Termination`]
2508/// (such as [`ExitCode`] or `Result`) from the `main` function and avoid this
2509/// function altogether:
2510///
2511/// ```
2512/// # use std::io::Error as MyError;
2513/// fn main() -> Result<(), MyError> {
2514/// // ...
2515/// Ok(())
2516/// }
2517/// ```
2518///
2519/// In its current implementation, this function will execute exit handlers registered with `atexit`
2520/// as well as other platform-specific exit handlers (e.g. `fini` sections of ELF shared objects).
2521/// This means that Rust requires that all exit handlers are safe to execute at any time. In
2522/// particular, if an exit handler cleans up some state that might be concurrently accessed by other
2523/// threads, it is required that the exit handler performs suitable synchronization with those
2524/// threads. (The alternative to this requirement would be to not run exit handlers at all, which is
2525/// considered undesirable. Note that returning from `main` also calls `exit`, so making `exit` an
2526/// unsafe operation is not an option.)
2527///
2528/// ## Platform-specific behavior
2529///
2530/// **Unix**: On Unix-like platforms, it is unlikely that all 32 bits of `exit`
2531/// will be visible to a parent process inspecting the exit code. On most
2532/// Unix-like platforms, only the eight least-significant bits are considered.
2533///
2534/// For example, the exit code for this example will be `0` on Linux, but `256`
2535/// on Windows:
2536///
2537/// ```no_run
2538/// use std::process;
2539///
2540/// process::exit(0x0100);
2541/// ```
2542///
2543/// ### Safe interop with C code
2544///
2545/// On Unix, this function is currently implemented using the `exit` C function [`exit`][C-exit]. As
2546/// of C23, the C standard does not permit multiple threads to call `exit` concurrently. Rust
2547/// mitigates this with a lock, but if C code calls `exit`, that can still cause undefined behavior.
2548/// Note that returning from `main` is equivalent to calling `exit`.
2549///
2550/// Therefore, it is undefined behavior to have two concurrent threads perform the following
2551/// without synchronization:
2552/// - One thread calls Rust's `exit` function or returns from Rust's `main` function
2553/// - Another thread calls the C function `exit` or `quick_exit`, or returns from C's `main` function
2554///
2555/// Note that if a binary contains multiple copies of the Rust runtime (e.g., when combining
2556/// multiple `cdylib` or `staticlib`), they each have their own separate lock, so from the
2557/// perspective of code running in one of the Rust runtimes, the "outside" Rust code is basically C
2558/// code, and concurrent `exit` again causes undefined behavior.
2559///
2560/// Individual C implementations might provide more guarantees than the standard and permit concurrent
2561/// calls to `exit`; consult the documentation of your C implementation for details.
2562///
2563/// For some of the on-going discussion to make `exit` thread-safe in C, see:
2564/// - [Rust issue #126600](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/126600)

2576/// Terminates the process in an abnormal fashion.
2577///
2578/// The function will never return and will immediately terminate the current
2579/// process in a platform specific "abnormal" manner. As a consequence,
2580/// no destructors on the current stack or any other thread's stack
2581/// will be run, Rust IO buffers (eg, from `BufWriter`) will not be flushed,
2582/// and C stdio buffers will (on most platforms) not be flushed.
2583///
2584/// This is in contrast to the default behavior of [`panic!`] which unwinds
2585/// the current thread's stack and calls all destructors.
2586/// When `panic="abort"` is set, either as an argument to `rustc` or in a
2587/// crate's Cargo.toml, [`panic!`] and `abort` are similar. However,
2588/// [`panic!`] will still call the [panic hook] while `abort` will not.
2589///
2590/// If a clean shutdown is needed it is recommended to only call
2591/// this function at a known point where there are no more destructors left
2592/// to run.
2593///
2594/// The process's termination will be similar to that from the C `abort()`
2595/// function. On Unix, the process will terminate with signal `SIGABRT`, which
2596/// typically means that the shell prints "Aborted".
