This crate allows running a process with a timeout, with the option to terminate it automatically afterward. The latter is surprisingly difficult to achieve on Unix, since process identifiers can be arbitrarily reassigned when no longer used. Thus, it would be extremely easy to inadvertently terminate an unexpected process. This crate protects against that possibility.
Methods for creating timeouts are available on ChildExt, which is
implemented for Child. They each return a builder of options to configure
how the timeout should be applied.
Add the following lines to your "Cargo.toml" file:
