15 that are specific to the individual Command subclass.

27 While the command runs, it should send status updates to the
28 master-side BuildStep by calling self.sendStatus(status). The
29 'status' argument is typically a dict with keys like 'stdout',
30 'stderr', and 'rc'.
32 When the step completes, it should fire the Deferred (the results are
33 not used). If an exception occurs during execution, it may also
34 errback the deferred, however any reasonable errors should be trapped
35 and indicated with a non-zero 'rc' status rather than raising an
36 exception. Exceptions should indicate problems within the buildbot
37 itself, not problems in the project being tested.

42 """This is called to tell the Command that the build is being stopped
43 and therefore the command should be terminated as quickly as
44 possible. The command may continue to send status updates, up to and
45 including an 'rc' end-of-command update (which should indicate an
46 error condition). The Command's deferred should still be fired when
47 the command has finally completed.
49 If the build is being stopped because the slave it shutting down or
50 because the connection to the buildmaster has been lost, the status
51 updates will simply be discarded. The Command does not need to be
52 aware of this.
54 Child shell processes should be killed. Simple ShellCommand classes
55 can just insert a header line indicating that the process will be
56 killed, then os.kill() the child."""
