//! This is an example of how to use `dup2` to replace the stdin and stdout
//! file descriptors.
#[cfg(not(windows))]
fn main() {
use rustix::io::{dup2, pipe};
use std::io::{BufRead, BufReader};
use std::mem::forget;
// Create some new file descriptors that we'll use to replace stdio's file
// descriptors with.
let (reader, writer) = pipe().unwrap();
// Acquire `OwnedFd` instances for stdin and stdout. These APIs are `unsafe`
// because in general, with low-level APIs like this, libraries can't assume
// that stdin and stdout will be open or safe to use. It's ok here, because
// we're directly inside `main`, so we know that stdin and stdout haven't
// been closed and aren't being used for other purposes.
let (mut stdin, mut stdout) = unsafe { (rustix::io::take_stdin(), rustix::io::take_stdout()) };
// Use `dup2` to copy our new file descriptors over the stdio file descriptors.
//
// These take their second argument as an `&mut OwnedFd` rather than the
// usual `impl AsFd` because they conceptually do a `close` on the original
// file descriptor, which one shouldn't be able to do with just a
// `BorrowedFd`.
dup2(&reader, &mut stdin).unwrap();
dup2(&writer, &mut stdout).unwrap();
// Then, forget the stdio `OwnedFd`s, because actually dropping them would
// close them. Here, we want stdin and stdout to remain open for the rest
// of the program.
forget(stdin);
forget(stdout);
// We can also drop the original file descriptors now, since `dup2` creates
// new file descriptors with independent lifetimes.
drop(reader);
drop(writer);
// Now we can print to "stdout" in the usual way, and it'll go to our pipe.
println!("hello, world!");
// And we can read from stdin, and it'll read from our pipe. It's a little
// silly that we connected our stdout to our own stdin, but it's just an
// example :-).
let mut s = String::new();
BufReader::new(std::io::stdin()).read_line(&mut s).unwrap();
assert_eq!(s, "hello, world!\n");
