78 """Execute a command line program in a subprocess.
80 Configure an executable in a subprocess. Executes when run in an execution
81 Context, as part of a work graph or via gmx.run(). Runs in the current
82 working directory.
84 Shell processing is not enabled, but can be considered for a future version.
85 This means that shell expansions such as environment variables, globbing (`*`),
86 and other special symbols (like `~` for home directory) are not available.
87 This allows a simpler and more robust implementation, as well as a better
88 ability to uniquely identify the effects of a command line operation. If you
89 think this disallows important use cases, please let us know.
91 Arguments:
92 command: a tuple (or list) to be the subprocess arguments, including `executable`
93 output: mapping of command line flags to output filename arguments
94 shell: unused (provides forward-compatibility)
95 stdin (str): String input to send to STDIN (terminal input) of the executable.
97 Multi-line text sent to *stdin* should be joined into a single string
98 (e.g. ``'\n'.join(list_of_strings) + '\n'``).
99 If multiple strings are provided to *stdin*, gmxapi will assume an ensemble,
100 and will run one operation for each provided string.
102 Only string input (:py:func:str) to *stdin* is currently supported.
103 If you have a use case that requires streaming input or binary input,
104 please open an issue or contact the author(s).
106 Arguments are iteratively added to the command line with standard Python
107 iteration, so you should use a tuple or list even if you have only one parameter.
108 I.e. If you provide a string with `arguments="asdf"` then it will be passed as
109 `... "a" "s" "d" "f"`. To pass a single string argument, `arguments=("asdf")`
110 or `arguments=["asdf"]`.
112 `input` and `output` should be a dictionary with string keys, where the keys
113 name command line "flags" or options.
115 Example:
116 Execute a command named `exe` that takes a flagged option for file name
117 (stored in a local Python variable `my_filename`) and an `origin` flag
118 that uses the next three arguments to define a vector.
120 >>> my_filename = "somefilename"
121 >>> result = cli(('exe', '--origin', 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, '-f', my_filename), shell=False)
122 >>> assert hasattr(result, 'file')
123 >>> assert hasattr(result, 'stdout')
124 >>> assert hasattr(result, 'stderr')
125 >>> assert hasattr(result, 'returncode')
127 Returns:
128 A data structure with attributes for each of the results `file`, `stdout`, `stderr`, and `returncode`
130 Result object attributes:
131 * `file`: the mapping of CLI flags to filename strings resulting from the `output` kwarg
132 * `stdout`: A string mapping from process STDOUT.
133 * `stderr`: A string mapping from process STDERR; it will be the
134 error output (if any) if the process failed.
135 * `returncode`: return code of the subprocess.

283 # Implementation details: When used in a script, this function returns an
284 # instance of an operation. However, because of the dynamic specification of
285 # inputs and outputs, each invocation may have the overhead of defining new
286 # types to express the data flow topology, regardless of the executable.
287 # If this overhead is problematic, consider exposing the intermediate step
288 # at which the Operation is fully specified to facilitate reuse.
291 # 1. Define a new operation with outputs from `cli()` plus `file` from `output_files`
293 # output_files is essentially passed through, but we need assurance that results
294 # will not be published until the rest of the operation has run (i.e. the cli() executable.)
296 # Warning: decorating a local function like this is counter to the notion of Operations
297 # as portable (importable, serializable/deserializable). The big picture here needs
298 # some more consideration.
