lib.rs

//! Use this library to open a path or URL using the program configured on the system in a non-blocking fashion.
//!
//! # Usage
//!
//! Open the given URL in the default web browser, without blocking.
//!
//! ```no_run
//! open::that("http://rust-lang.org").unwrap();
//! ```
//!
//! Alternatively, specify the program to be used to open the path or URL.
//!
//! ```no_run
//! open::with("http://rust-lang.org", "firefox").unwrap();
//! ```
//!
//! # Notes
//!
//! ## Nonblocking operation
//!
//! The functions provided are nonblocking as it will return even though the
//! launched child process is still running. Note that depending on the operating
//! system, spawning launch helpers, which this library does under the hood,
//! might still take 100's of milliseconds.
//!
//! ## Error handling
//!
//! As an operating system program is used, the open operation can fail.
//! Therefore, you are advised to check the result and behave
//! accordingly, e.g. by letting the user know that the open operation failed.
//!
//! ```no_run
//! let path = "http://rust-lang.org";
//!
//! match open::that(path) {
//!     Ok(()) => println!("Opened '{}' successfully.", path),
//!     Err(err) => eprintln!("An error occurred when opening '{}': {}", path, err),
//! }
//! ```
