It would be handy to be able to use Command::exec() with a convenient macro. I commonly use this when I need to transform the current process entirely into another process without creating a new subprocess. This can be particularly useful for creating wrappers around other programs or for use in certain types of daemon processes.
For example:
use std::os::unix::process::CommandExt;use std::process::Command;fnmain(){let error = Command::new("ls").arg("-l").arg("/home").exec();// Replaces the current process with `ls`eprintln!("Failed to execute ls: {}", error);}
