Struct PipeReader

pub struct PipeReader(/* private fields */);

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (anonymous_pipe #127154)

Read end of the anonymous pipe.

Implementations

impl PipeReader

pub fn try_clone(&self) -> Result<Self>

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (anonymous_pipe #127154)

Create a new PipeReader instance that shares the same underlying file description.

Examples

#![feature(anonymous_pipe)]
const NUM_SLOT: u8 = 2;
const NUM_PROC: u8 = 5;
const OUTPUT: &str = "work.txt";

let mut jobs = vec![];
let (reader, mut writer) = std::pipe::pipe()?;

// Write NUM_SLOT characters the the pipe.
writer.write_all(&[b'|'; NUM_SLOT as usize])?;

// Spawn several processes that read a character from the pipe, do some work, then
// write back to the pipe. When the pipe is empty, the processes block, so only
// NUM_SLOT processes can be working at any given time.
for _ in 0..NUM_PROC {
    jobs.push(
        Command::new("bash")
            .args(["-c",
                &format!(
                     "read -n 1\n\
                      echo -n 'x' >> '{OUTPUT}'\n\
                      echo -n '|'",
                ),
            ])
            .stdin(reader.try_clone()?)
            .stdout(writer.try_clone()?)
            .spawn()?,
    );
}

// Wait for all jobs to finish.
for mut job in jobs {
    job.wait()?;
}

// Check our work and clean up.
let xs = fs::read_to_string(OUTPUT)?;
fs::remove_file(OUTPUT)?;
assert_eq!(xs, "x".repeat(NUM_PROC.into()));
