Module Uwt_compat.Lwt_process

module Lwt_process: Uwt_process

This module allows you to spawn processes and communicate with them.

type command = string * string array 

A command. The first field is the name of the executable and the second is the list of arguments. For example:

          ("ls", [|"ls"; "-l"|])
        

Notes:

val shell : string -> command

A command executed with the shell. (with "/bin/sh -c <cmd>" on Unix and "cmd.exe /c <cmd>" on Windows).

All the following functions take an optional argument timeout. If specified, after expiration, the process will be sent a Unix.sigkill signal and channels will be closed.

High-level functions

Redirections

type redirection = [ `Close
| `Dev_null
| `FD_copy of Unix.file_descr
| `FD_move of Unix.file_descr
| `File_copy of Uwt.file
| `File_move of Uwt.file
| `Keep
| `Pipe_copy of Uwt.Pipe.t
| `Pipe_move of Uwt.Pipe.t
| `Stream_copy of Uwt.Stream.t
| `Stream_move of Uwt.Stream.t ]

A file descriptor redirection. It describes how standard file descriptors are redirected in the child process.

Note: all optional redirection arguments default to `Keep

Executing

val exec : ?timeout:float ->
?uid:int ->
?gid:int ->
?env:string array ->
?cwd:string ->
?stdin:redirection ->
?stdout:redirection ->
?stderr:redirection ->
command -> Unix.process_status Lwt.t

Executes the given command and returns its exit status. Unix.WSTOPPED is not supported by libuv at the moment. It will return either Unix.WSIGNALED or Unix.WEXITED

Spawning processes

type state = 
| Running (*

The process is still running

*)
| Exited of Unix.process_status (*

The process has exited

*)
