System.Process.Internals

Description

Note: This module exports internal implementation details that may change anytime. If you want a more stable API, use System.Process instead.

Synopsis

Documentation

data ProcessHandle Source

Constructors

ProcessHandle !(MVar ProcessHandle__) !Bool

data ProcessHandle__ Source

A handle to a process, which can be used to wait for termination of the process using waitForProcess.

None of the process-creation functions in this library wait for termination: they all return a ProcessHandle which may be used to wait for the process later.

Constructors

OpenHandle PHANDLE
ClosedHandle ExitCode

type PHANDLE = CPid Source

closePHANDLE :: PHANDLE -> IO () Source

mkProcessHandle :: PHANDLE -> Bool -> IO ProcessHandle Source

modifyProcessHandle :: ProcessHandle -> (ProcessHandle__ -> IO (ProcessHandle__, a)) -> IO a Source

withProcessHandle :: ProcessHandle -> (ProcessHandle__ -> IO a) -> IO a Source

data CreateProcess Source

Constructors

CreateProcess

Fields

cmdspec :: CmdSpec

Executable & arguments, or shell command

cwd :: Maybe FilePath

Optional path to the working directory for the new process

env :: Maybe [(String, String)]

Optional environment (otherwise inherit from the current process)

std_in :: StdStream

How to determine stdin

std_out :: StdStream

How to determine stdout

std_err :: StdStream

How to determine stderr

close_fds :: Bool

Close all file descriptors except stdin, stdout and stderr in the new process (on Windows, only works if std_in, std_out, and std_err are all Inherit)

create_group :: Bool

Create a new process group

delegate_ctlc :: Bool

Delegate control-C handling. Use this for interactive console processes to let them handle control-C themselves (see below for details).

On Windows this has no effect.

Since: 1.2.0.0

data CmdSpec Source

Constructors

ShellCommand String

A command line to execute using the shell

RawCommand FilePath [String]

The name of an executable with a list of arguments

The FilePath argument names the executable, and is interpreted according to the platform's standard policy for searching for executables. Specifically:

on Unix systems the execvp(3) semantics is used, where if the executable filename does not contain a slash (/) then the PATH environment variable is searched for the executable.
on Windows systems the Win32 CreateProcess semantics is used. Briefly: if the filename does not contain a path, then the directory containing the parent executable is searched, followed by the current directory, then some standard locations, and finally the current PATH. An .exe extension is added if the filename does not already have an extension. For full details see the documentation for the Windows SearchPath API.

Instances

IsString CmdSpec

construct a ShellCommand from a string literal

Since: 1.2.1.0

data StdStream Source

Constructors

Inherit	Inherit Handle from parent
UseHandle Handle	Use the supplied Handle
CreatePipe	Create a new pipe. The returned `Handle` will use the default encoding and newline translation mode (just like `Handle`s created by `openFile`).

createProcess_ Source

Arguments

:: String	function name (for error messages)
-> CreateProcess
-> IO (Maybe Handle, Maybe Handle, Maybe Handle, ProcessHandle)

This function is almost identical to createProcess. The only differences are:

Handles provided via UseHandle are not closed automatically.
This function takes an extra String argument to be used in creating error messages.

This function has been available from the System.Process.Internals module for some time, and is part of the System.Process module since version 1.2.1.0.

Since: 1.2.1.0

runGenProcess_ Source

Arguments

:: String	function name (for error messages)
-> CreateProcess
-> Maybe CLong	handler for SIGINT
-> Maybe CLong	handler for SIGQUIT
-> IO (Maybe Handle, Maybe Handle, Maybe Handle, ProcessHandle)

Deprecated: Please do not use this anymore, use the ordinary createProcess. If you need the SIGINT handling, use delegate_ctlc = True (runGenProcess_ is now just an imperfectly emulated stub that probably duplicates or overrides your own signal handling).

startDelegateControlC :: IO () Source

endDelegateControlC :: ExitCode -> IO () Source

pPrPr_disableITimers :: IO ()

c_execvpe :: CString -> Ptr CString -> Ptr CString -> IO CInt

ignoreSignal :: CLong Source

defaultSignal :: CLong Source

withFilePathException :: FilePath -> IO a -> IO a Source

withCEnvironment :: [(String, String)] -> (Ptr CString -> IO a) -> IO a Source

translate :: String -> String Source

fdToHandle :: FD -> IO Handle

Turn an existing file descriptor into a Handle. This is used by various external libraries to make Handles.

Makes a binary Handle. This is for historical reasons; it should probably be a text Handle with the default encoding and newline translation instead.
