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.

46 /**
47 * The .argv member is set up as an array of string pointers (NULL
48 * terminated), of which .argv[0] is the program name to run (usually
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 * `argv_array` (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
57 * `finish_command` (or during `start_command` when it is unsuccessful).

78 * .out, .err: returns the readable pipe end; parent reads from
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!
82 * - Specify > 0 to set a channel to a particular FD as follows:
83 * .in: a readable FD, becomes child's stdin
84 * .out: a writable FD, becomes child's stdout/stderr
85 * .err: a writable FD, becomes child's stderr
86 * The specified FD is closed by start_command(), even in case

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