All of the code is organized into folders. For example, Chapter02.
The code will look like the following:
fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error + Send + Sync + 'static>> {
let mut ls_child = Command::new("ls");
if !cfg!(target_os = "windows") {
ls_child.args(&["-alh"]);
Following is what you need for this book: The Rust cookbook is for software developers looking to enhance their knowledge of Rust and leverage its features using modern programming practices. Familiarity with Rust language is expected to get the most out of this book.

Claus Matzinger is a software engineer with a very diverse background. After working in a small company maintaining code for embedded devices, he joined a large corporation to work on legacy Smalltalk applications. This led to a great interest in programming languages early on, and Claus became the CTO for a health games start-up based on Scala technology. Since then, Claus' roles have shifted toward customer-facing roles in the IoT database technology start-up, Crate IO (creators of CrateDB), and, most recently, Microsoft. There, he hosts a podcast, writes code together with customers, and blogs about the solutions arising from these engagements. For more than 5 years, Claus has been implementing software to help customers innovate, achieve, and maintain success.
