//! A cross-platform library for running child processes and building
//! pipelines.
//!
//! `duct` wants to make shelling out in Rust as easy and flexible as it is in
//! Bash. It takes care of [gotchas and
//! inconsistencies](https://github.com/oconnor663/duct.py/blob/master/spec.md)
//! in the way different platforms shell out. And it's a cross-language library;
//! the [original implementation](https://github.com/oconnor663/duct.py) is in
//! Python, with an identical API.
//!
//! - [Docs](https://docs.rs/duct)
//! - [Crate](https://crates.io/crates/duct)
//! - [Repo](https://github.com/oconnor663/duct.rs)
//!
//! # Changelog
//!
//! - Version 0.11 introduced the `before_spawn` method.
//! - Version 0.10 changed how environment variable casing is handled on Windows.
//!   See the docs for `env_remove`.
//! - Version 0.9 removed the `sh` function. It now lives in its own crate, `duct_sh`.
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! `duct` tries to be as concise as possible, so that you don't wish you were
//! back writing shell scripts. At the same time, it's explicit about what
//! happens to output, and strict about error codes in child processes.
//!
//! ```no_run
//! #[macro_use]
//! extern crate duct;
//!
//! use duct::cmd;
//!
//! fn main() {
//!     // Read the name of the current git branch. If git exits with an error
//!     // code here (because we're not in a git repo, for example), `read` will
//!     // return an error too.
//!     let current_branch = cmd!("git", "symbolic-ref", "--short", "HEAD").read().unwrap();
//!
//!     // Log the current branch, with git taking over the terminal as usual.
//!     // The `cmd` function works just like the `cmd!` macro, but it takes a
//!     // collection instead of a variable list of arguments.
//!     let args = &["log", &current_branch];
//!     cmd("git", args).run().unwrap();
//!
//!     // More complicated expressions become trees. Here's a pipeline with two
//!     // child processes on the left, just because we can. In Bash this would
//!     // be: stdout=$((echo -n part one "" && echo part two) | sed s/p/sm/g)
//!     let part_one = &["-n", "part", "one", ""];
//!     let stdout = cmd("echo", part_one)
//!         .then(cmd!("echo", "part", "two"))
//!         .pipe(cmd!("sed", "s/p/sm/g"))
//!         .read()
//!         .unwrap();
//!     assert_eq!("smart one smart two", stdout);
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! `duct` uses [`os_pipe`](https://github.com/oconnor663/os_pipe.rs)
//! internally, and the docs for that one include a [big
//! example](https://docs.rs/os_pipe#example) that takes a dozen lines of code
//! to read both stdout and stderr from a child process. `duct` can do that in
//! one (moderately long) line:
//!
//! ```
//! # #[macro_use] extern crate duct;
//! # fn main() {
//! # if cfg!(not(windows)) {
//! let output = cmd!("sh", "-c", "echo foo && echo bar 2>&1").stderr_to_stdout().read().unwrap();
//!
//! assert!(output.split_whitespace().eq(vec!["foo", "bar"]));
//! # }
//! # }
//! ```

/// The central objects in `duct`, Expressions are created with

/// [`start`](struct.Expression.html#method.start),
/// [`run`](struct.Expression.html#method.run), or

/// [`input`](struct.Expression.html#method.input),
/// [`env`](struct.Expression.html#method.env), and

/// ```
/// # #[macro_use] extern crate duct;
/// # fn main() {
/// // Only suppress output from the left side.
/// let suppress_foo = cmd!("echo", "foo").stdout_null().then(cmd!("echo", "bar"));
/// assert_eq!(suppress_foo.read().unwrap(), "bar");
///
/// // Only suppress output from the right side.
/// let suppress_bar = cmd!("echo", "foo").then(cmd!("echo", "bar").stdout_null());
/// assert_eq!(suppress_bar.read().unwrap(), "foo");
///
/// // Suppress output from both sides.
/// let suppress_both = cmd!("echo", "foo").then(cmd!("echo", "bar")).stdout_null();
/// assert_eq!(suppress_both.read().unwrap(), "");
/// # }
/// ```
///
/// This version is exactly the same, but with temporary variables to make it
/// easier to see what's going on:
///
/// ```
/// # #[macro_use] extern crate duct;
/// # fn main() {
/// let foo = cmd!("echo", "foo");
/// let bar = cmd!("echo", "bar");
///
/// let foo_null = foo.stdout_null();
/// let bar_null = bar.stdout_null();

/// // Note that you can pass expressions by reference, when you're using them
/// // more than once.
/// let suppress_foo = foo_null.then(&bar);
/// assert_eq!(suppress_foo.read().unwrap(), "bar");
///
/// let suppress_bar = foo.then(&bar_null);
/// assert_eq!(suppress_bar.read().unwrap(), "foo");
