rust programming cli devtools subprocess The Problem We've all been there. You just need to run a shell command, capture its output, handle errors gracefully, and maybe pipe a few things together. But the standard library's std::process::Command quickly becomes verbose:
use std::process::Command; let output = Command::new("sh") .arg("-c") .arg("echo hello | grep h") .output() .expect("failed to execute");
cargo add sbprocess
[dependencies] sbprocess = "0.1.0" // Run and capture let out = cmd("git status --porcelain").run()?.stdout; // Run ignoring failure let _ = cmd("rm -f tmp.txt").run_ignored();
sbprocess – A Minimal, Safe Wrapper Around Subprocesses (No Boilerplate)
