=head1 NAME
C<IO::Async::Process> - start and manage a child process
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use IO::Async::Process;
use IO::Async::Loop;
my $loop = IO::Async::Loop->new;
my $process = IO::Async::Process->new(
command => [ "tr", "a-z", "n-za-m" ],
stdin => {
from => "hello world\n",
},
stdout => {
on_read => sub {
my ( $stream, $buffref ) = @_;
while( $$buffref =~ s/^(.*)\n// ) {
print "Rot13 of 'hello world' is '$1'\n";
}
return 0;
},
},
on_finish => sub {
$loop->stop;
},
);
$loop->add( $process );
$loop->run;
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This subclass of L<IO::Async::Notifier> starts a child process, and invokes a
callback when it exits. The child process can either execute a given block of
code (via C<fork(2)>), or a command.
=cut
=head1 EVENTS
The following events are invoked, either using subclass methods or CODE
references in parameters:
=head2 on_finish $exitcode
Invoked after the process has exited by normal means (i.e. an C<exit(2)>
syscall from a process, or C<return>ing from the code block), and has closed
all its file descriptors.
=head2 on_exception $exception, $errno, $exitcode
Invoked when the process exits by an exception from C<code>, or by failing to
C<exec(2)> the given command. C<$errno> will be a dualvar, containing both
number and string values.
Note that this has a different name and a different argument order from
C<< Loop->open_child >>'s C<on_error>.
If this is not provided and the process exits with an exception, then
C<on_finish> is invoked instead, being passed just the exit code.
=cut
=head1 CONSTRUCTOR
=cut
=head2 $process = IO::Async::Process->new( %args )
Constructs a new C<IO::Async::Process> object and returns it.
Once constructed, the C<Process> will need to be added to the C<Loop> before
the child process is started.
=cut
sub _init
{
my $self = shift;
$self->SUPER::_init( @_ );
$self->{to_close} = {};
$self->{mergepoint} = Async::MergePoint->new;
}
=head1 PARAMETERS
The following named parameters may be passed to C<new> or C<configure>:
=over 8
=item on_finish => CODE
=item on_exception => CODE
CODE reference for the event handlers.
=back
Once the C<on_finish> continuation has been invoked, the C<IO::Async::Process>
object is removed from the containing C<IO::Async::Loop> object.
The following parameters may be passed to C<new>, or to C<configure> before
the process has been started (i.e. before it has been added to the C<Loop>).
Once the process is running these cannot be changed.
=over 8
=item command => ARRAY or STRING
Either a reference to an array containing the command and its arguments, or a
plain string containing the command. This value is passed into perl's
C<exec(2)> function.
=item code => CODE
A block of code to execute in the child process. It will be called in scalar
context inside an C<eval> block.
=item setup => ARRAY
Optional reference to an array to pass to the underlying C<Loop>
C<spawn_child> method.
=item fdI<n> => HASH
A hash describing how to set up file descriptor I<n>. The hash may contain the
following keys:
=over 4
=item via => STRING
Configures how this file descriptor will be configured for the child process.
Must be given one of the following mode names:
=over 4
=item pipe_read
The child will be given the writing end of a C<pipe(2)>; the parent may read
from the other.
=item pipe_write
The child will be given the reading end of a C<pipe(2)>; the parent may write
to the other. Since an EOF condition of this kind of handle cannot reliably be
detected, C<on_finish> will not wait for this type of pipe to be closed.
=item pipe_rdwr
Only valid on the C<stdio> filehandle. The child will be given the reading end
of one C<pipe(2)> on STDIN and the writing end of another on STDOUT. A single
Stream object will be created in the parent configured for both filehandles.
=item socketpair
The child will be given one end of a C<socketpair(2)>; the parent will be
given the other. The family of this socket may be given by the extra key
called C<family>; defaulting to C<unix>. The socktype of this socket may be
given by the extra key called C<socktype>; defaulting to C<stream>. If the
type is not C<SOCK_STREAM> then a L<IO::Async::Socket> object will be
constructed for the parent side of the handle, rather than
C<IO::Async::Stream>.
=back
Once the filehandle is set up, the C<fd> method (or its shortcuts of C<stdin>,
C<stdout> or C<stderr>) may be used to access the
C<IO::Async::Handle>-subclassed object wrapped around it.
The value of this argument is implied by any of the following alternatives.
=item on_read => CODE
The child will be given the writing end of a pipe. The reading end will be
wrapped by an C<IO::Async::Stream> using this C<on_read> callback function.
=item into => SCALAR
The child will be given the writing end of a pipe. The referenced scalar will
be filled by data read from the child process. This data may not be available
until the pipe has been closed by the child.
=item from => STRING
The child will be given the reading end of a pipe. The string given by the
C<from> parameter will be written to the child. When all of the data has been
written the pipe will be closed.
=back
=item stdin => ...
=item stdout => ...
=item stderr => ...
Shortcuts for C<fd0>, C<fd1> and C<fd2> respectively.
=item stdio => ...
Special filehandle to affect STDIN and STDOUT at the same time. This
filehandle supports being configured for both reading and writing at the same
time.

=head2 $stream = $process->fd( $fd )
Returns the L<IO::Async::Stream> or L<IO::Async::Socket> associated with the
given FD number. This must have been set up by a C<configure> argument prior
to adding the C<Process> object to the C<Loop>.
The returned object have its read or write handle set to the other end of a
pipe or socket connected to that FD number in the child process. Typically,
this will be used to call the C<write> method on, to write more data into the
child, or to set an C<on_read> handler to read data out of the child.
The C<on_closed> event for these streams must not be changed, or it will break
the close detection used by the C<Process> object and the C<on_finish> event
will not be invoked.

=head1 EXAMPLES
=head2 Capturing the STDOUT stream of a process
By configuring the C<stdout> filehandle of the process using the C<into> key,
data written by the process can be captured.
my $stdout;
my $process = IO::Async::Process->new(
command => [ "writing-program", "arguments" ],
stdout => { into => \$stdout },
on_finish => sub {
print "The process has finished, and wrote:\n";
print $stdout;
}
);
$loop->add( $process );
Note that until C<on_finish> is invoked, no guarantees are made about how much
of the data actually written by the process is yet in the C<$stdout> scalar.
See also the C<run_child> method of L<IO::Async::Loop>.
To handle data more interactively as it arrives, the C<on_read> key can
instead be used, to provide a callback function to invoke whenever more data
is available from the process.
my $process = IO::Async::Process->new(
command => [ "writing-program", "arguments" ],
stdout => {
on_read => sub {
my ( $stream, $buffref ) = @_;
while( $$buffref =~ s/^(.*)\n// ) {
print "The process wrote a line: $1\n";
}
return 0;
},
},
on_finish => sub {
print "The process has finished\n";
}
);
$loop->add( $process );
If the code to handle data read from the process isn't available yet when
the object is constructed, it can be supplied later by using the C<configure>
method on the C<stdout> filestream at some point before it gets added to the
Loop. In this case, C<stdin> should be configured using C<pipe_read> in the
C<via> key.
my $process = IO::Async::Process->new(
command => [ "writing-program", "arguments" ],
stdout => { via => "pipe_read" },
on_finish => sub {
print "The process has finished\n";
}
);
$process->stdout->configure(
on_read => sub {
my ( $stream, $buffref ) = @_;
while( $$buffref =~ s/^(.*)\n// ) {
print "The process wrote a line: $1\n";
}
return 0;
},
);
$loop->add( $process );
=head2 Sending data to STDIN of a process
By configuring the C<stdin> filehandle of the process using the C<from> key,
data can be written into the C<STDIN> stream of the process.
my $process = IO::Async::Process->new(
command => [ "reading-program", "arguments" ],
stdin => { from => "Here is the data to send\n" },
on_finish => sub {
print "The process has finished\n";
}
);
$loop->add( $process );
The data in this scalar will be written until it is all consumed, then the
handle will be closed. This may be useful if the program waits for EOF on
C<STDIN> before it exits.
To have the ability to write more data into the process once it has started.
the C<write> method on the C<stdin> stream can be used, when it is configured
using the C<pipe_write> value for C<via>:
my $process = IO::Async::Process->new(
command => [ "reading-program", "arguments" ],
stdin => { via => "pipe_write" },
on_finish => sub {
print "The process has finished\n";
}
);
$loop->add( $process );
$process->stdin->write( "Here is some more data\n" );
