9 * The run-command API offers a versatile tool to run sub-processes with
10 * redirected input and output as well as with a modified environment
11 * and an alternate current directory.
13 * A similar API offers the capability to run a function asynchronously,
14 * which is primarily used to capture the output that the function
15 * produces in the caller in order to process it.
19 /**
20 * This describes the arguments, redirections, and environment of a
21 * command to run in a sub-process.
23 * The caller:
25 * 1. allocates and clears (using child_process_init() or
26 * CHILD_PROCESS_INIT) a struct child_process variable;
27 * 2. initializes the members;
28 * 3. calls start_command();
29 * 4. processes the data;
30 * 5. closes file descriptors (if necessary; see below);
31 * 6. calls finish_command().
33 * Special forms of redirection are available by setting these members
34 * to 1:
36 * .no_stdin, .no_stdout, .no_stderr: The respective channel is
37 * redirected to /dev/null.
39 * .stdout_to_stderr: stdout of the child is redirected to its
40 * stderr. This happens after stderr is itself redirected.
41 * So stdout will follow stderr to wherever it is
42 * redirected.

47 * The .argv member is set up as an array of string pointers (NULL

49 * without a path). If the command to run is a git command, set argv[0] to
50 * the command name without the 'git-' prefix and set .git_cmd = 1.
52 * Note that the ownership of the memory pointed to by .argv stays with the
53 * caller, but it should survive until `finish_command` completes. If the
54 * .argv member is NULL, `start_command` will point it at the .args
55 * `strvec` (so you may use one or the other, but you must use exactly
56 * one). The memory in .args will be cleaned up automatically during

79 * it, the writable pipe end becomes child's stdout/stderr
80 * The caller of start_command() must close the returned FDs
81 * after it has completed reading from/writing to it!

84 * .out: a writable FD, becomes child's stdout/stderr
85 * .err: a writable FD, becomes child's stderr

286 * The purpose of the following functions is to feed a pipe by running
287 * a function asynchronously and providing output that the caller reads.
289 * It is expected that no synchronization and mutual exclusion between
290 * the caller and the feed function is necessary so that the function
291 * can run in a thread without interfering with the caller.
293 * The caller:
295 * 1. allocates and clears (memset(&asy, 0, sizeof(asy));) a
296 * struct async variable;
297 * 2. initializes .proc and .data;
298 * 3. calls start_async();
299 * 4. processes communicates with proc through .in and .out;
300 * 5. closes .in and .out;
301 * 6. calls finish_async().
303 * There are serious restrictions on what the asynchronous function can do
304 * because this facility is implemented by a thread in the same address
305 * space on most platforms (when pthreads is available), but by a pipe to
306 * a forked process otherwise:
308 * - It cannot change the program's state (global variables, environment,
309 * etc.) in a way that the caller notices; in other words, .in and .out
310 * are the only communication channels to the caller.
312 * - It must not change the program's state that the caller of the
313 * facility also uses.
316 struct async {
319 * The function pointer in .proc has the following signature:
321 * int proc(int in, int out, void *data);
323 * - in, out specifies a set of file descriptors to which the function
324 * must read/write the data that it needs/produces. The function
325 * *must* close these descriptors before it returns. A descriptor
326 * may be -1 if the caller did not configure a descriptor for that
327 * direction.
329 * - data is the value that the caller has specified in the .data member
330 * of struct async.
332 * - The return value of the function is 0 on success and non-zero
333 * on failure. If the function indicates failure, finish_async() will
334 * report failure as well.
337 int (*proc)(int in, int out, void *data);
339 void *data;
342 * The members .in, .out are used to provide a set of fd's for
343 * communication between the caller and the callee as follows:
345 * - Specify 0 to have no file descriptor passed. The callee will
346 * receive -1 in the corresponding argument.
348 * - Specify < 0 to have a pipe allocated; start_async() replaces
349 * with the pipe FD in the following way:
351 * .in: Returns the writable pipe end into which the caller
352 * writes; the readable end of the pipe becomes the function's
353 * in argument.
355 * .out: Returns the readable pipe end from which the caller
356 * reads; the writable end of the pipe becomes the function's
357 * out argument.
359 * The caller of start_async() must close the returned FDs after it
360 * has completed reading from/writing from them.
362 * - Specify a file descriptor > 0 to be used by the function:
364 * .in: The FD must be readable; it becomes the function's in.
365 * .out: The FD must be writable; it becomes the function's out.
367 * The specified FD is closed by start_async(), even if it fails to
368 * run the function.
