| //! A cross-platform anonymous pipe. |
| //! |
| //! This module provides support for anonymous OS pipes, like [pipe] on Linux or [CreatePipe] on |
| //! Windows. |
| //! |
| //! # Behavior |
| //! |
| //! A pipe is a synchronous, unidirectional data channel between two or more processes, like an |
| //! interprocess [`mpsc`](crate::sync::mpsc) provided by the OS. In particular: |
| //! |
| //! * A read on a [`PipeReader`] blocks until the pipe is non-empty. |
| //! * A write on a [`PipeWriter`] blocks when the pipe is full. |
| //! * When all copies of a [`PipeWriter`] are closed, a read on the corresponding [`PipeReader`] |
| //! returns EOF. |
| //! * [`PipeReader`] can be shared, but only one process will consume the data in the pipe. |
| //! |
| //! # Capacity |
| //! |
| //! Pipe capacity is platform dependent. To quote the Linux [man page]: |
| //! |
| //! > Different implementations have different limits for the pipe capacity. Applications should |
| //! > not rely on a particular capacity: an application should be designed so that a reading process |
| //! > consumes data as soon as it is available, so that a writing process does not remain blocked. |
| //! |
| //! # Examples |
| //! |
| //! ```no_run |
| //! #![feature(anonymous_pipe)] |
| //! # #[cfg(miri)] fn main() {} |
| //! # #[cfg(not(miri))] |
| //! # fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> { |
| //! # use std::process::Command; |
| //! # use std::io::{Read, Write}; |
| //! let (ping_rx, mut ping_tx) = std::pipe::pipe()?; |
| //! let (mut pong_rx, pong_tx) = std::pipe::pipe()?; |
| //! |
| //! // Spawn a process that echoes its input. |
| //! let mut echo_server = Command::new("cat").stdin(ping_rx).stdout(pong_tx).spawn()?; |
| //! |
| //! ping_tx.write_all(b"hello")?; |
| //! // Close to unblock echo_server's reader. |
| //! drop(ping_tx); |
| //! |
| //! let mut buf = String::new(); |
| //! // Block until echo_server's writer is closed. |
| //! pong_rx.read_to_string(&mut buf)?; |
| //! assert_eq!(&buf, "hello"); |
| //! |
| //! echo_server.wait()?; |
| //! # Ok(()) |
| //! # } |
