Module `Eio_unix.Process`Source

Spawning child processes with extra control.

This extends the Eio.Process API with more control over file-descriptors.

Types

These extend the types in Eio.Process with support for file descriptors.

Sourcetype ty = [ `Generic | `Unix ] Eio.Process.ty

Sourcetype 'a t = ([> ty ] as 'a) Eio.Std.r

Sourcetype mgr_ty = [ `Generic | `Unix ] Eio.Process.mgr_ty

Sourcetype 'a mgr = ([> mgr_ty ] as 'a) Eio.Std.r

Sourcemodule Pi : sig ... end

Source

module Make_mgr
  (X : sig ... end) : 
  Pi.MGR with type t = X.t and type tag = [ `Generic | `Unix ]

val spawn_unix : 
  sw:Eio.Std.Switch.t ->
  _ mgr ->
  ?cwd:Eio.Fs.dir_ty Eio.Path.t ->
  fds:(int * Fd.t * Private.Fork_action.blocking) list ->
  ?env:string array ->
  ?executable:string ->
  string list ->
  ty Eio.Std.r

spawn_unix ~sw mgr ~fds args spawns a child process running the command args.

The arguments are as for Eio.Process.spawn, except that it takes a list of FD mappings for Fork_action.inherit_fds directly, rather than just flows for the standard streams.

Sourceval sigchld : Eio.Condition.t

If an Eio backend installs a SIGCHLD handler, the handler will broadcast on this condition.

This allows non-Eio libraries (such as Lwt) to share its signal handler.

Note: Not all backends install a handler (e.g. eio_linux uses process descriptors instead), so be sure to call install_sigchld_handler if you need to use this.

Sourceval install_sigchld_handler : unit -> unit

install_sigchld_handler () sets the signal handler for SIGCHLD to broadcast sigchld.
