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:

if the name is the empty string, then the first argument will be used (for backward compatibility with Lwt_process).

It is not possible to ``inline'' an argument, i.e. split it into multiple arguments with "\000". (like under Lwt_process)

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
