For more formal documentation, you can find the rustdoc here.

Installation

Requires Rust 1.9 to build. Install with:

cargo build --release
install -m755 target/release/rrun /usr/bin/rrun
install -m755 target/release/rpwd /usr/bin/rpwd

lib.rs:

The command-line tool works in the following order:

1. RemoteMounts::load is called to load the contents of /etc/mtab into an internal struct.
2. RemoteMounts::into_current_dir is called to convert the above into a Location.
3. Location::into_env_args is called to convert the above into ProgramArgs.
4. ProgramArgs::into_command is called to convert the above into std::process::Command.

For rpwd, only steps 1 and 2 are run, and the resulting Location is printed.
