Kill Deno.Command

Is it possible to kill/end a Deno.command-instance? Example code:

(async () => {
    let ffmpegProcess: Promise<Deno.CommandOutput> | undefined;
    ffmpegProcess = new Deno.Command("ffmpeg", {args: ["-i", filename, `${folder}/frame%08d.png`, "-threads", "1"]}).output();
    await ffmpegProcess;
    done = true;
})();

// Later some time
ffmpegProcess.close(); // Something like that?

(async () => {
    let ffmpegProcess: Promise<Deno.CommandOutput> | undefined;
    ffmpegProcess = new Deno.Command("ffmpeg", {args: ["-i", filename, `${folder}/frame%08d.png`, "-threads", "1"]}).output();
    await ffmpegProcess;
    done = true;
})();

// Later some time
ffmpegProcess.close(); // Something like that?

Not an option

ah, you are using .output(). to do more manual things, you need to use .child().

That works, thanks How can i wait for that command to finish though?

const process = new Deno.Command("ls").spawn()
// kill -> process.kill()
// wait -> await process.status

const process = new Deno.Command("ls").spawn()
// kill -> process.kill()
// wait -> await process.status
