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

  • detach_console :: Bool

    Use the windows DETACHED_PROCESS flag when creating the process; does nothing on other platforms.

    Since: 1.3.0.0

  • create_new_console :: Bool

    Use the windows CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE flag when creating the process; does nothing on other platforms.

    Default: False

    Since: 1.3.0.0

  • new_session :: Bool

    Use posix setsid to start the new process in a new session; does nothing on other platforms.

    Since: 1.3.0.0

  • child_group :: Maybe GroupID

    Use posix setgid to set child process's group id; does nothing on other platforms.

    Default: Nothing

    Since: 1.4.0.0

  • child_user :: Maybe UserID

    Use posix setuid to set child process's user id; does nothing on other platforms.

    Default: Nothing

    Since: 1.4.0.0

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 Handles created by openFile).

NoStream

No stream handle will be passed

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).

fdToHandle :: FD -> IO Handle Source

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.

startDelegateControlC :: IO () Source

endDelegateControlC :: ExitCode -> IO () Source

stopDelegateControlC :: IO () Source

pPrPr_disableITimers :: IO () Source

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

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

createPipe :: IO (Handle, Handle) Source

Create a pipe for interprocess communication and return a (readEnd, writeEnd) Handle pair.

Since: 1.2.1.0

createPipeFd :: IO (FD, FD) Source

Create a pipe for interprocess communication and return a (readEnd, writeEnd) FD pair.

Since: 1.4.2.0

interruptProcessGroupOf Source

Arguments

:: ProcessHandle

A process in the process group

-> IO () 

Sends an interrupt signal to the process group of the given process.

On Unix systems, it sends the group the SIGINT signal.

On Windows systems, it generates a CTRL_BREAK_EVENT and will only work for processes created using createProcess and setting the create_group flag
