data ProcessHandle Source

data ProcessHandle__ Source

A handle to a process, which can be used to wait for termination of the process using waitForProcess.

None of the process-creation functions in this library wait for termination: they all return a ProcessHandle which may be used to wait for the process later.

On Windows a second wait method can be used to block for event completion. This requires two handles. A process job handle and a events handle to monitor.

modifyProcessHandle :: ProcessHandle -> (ProcessHandle__ -> IO (ProcessHandle__, a)) -> IO a Source

data CreateProcess Source

data StdStream Source

data ProcRetHandles Source

contains the handles returned by a call to createProcess_Internal

createProcess_ Source

This function is almost identical to createProcess. The only differences are:

• Handles provided via UseHandle are not closed automatically.
• This function takes an extra String argument to be used in creating error messages.
• use_process_jobs can be set in CreateProcess since 1.5.0.0 in order to create an I/O completion port to monitor a process tree's progress on Windows.

The function also returns two new handles: * an I/O Completion Port handle on which events will be signaled. * a Job handle which can be used to kill all running processes.

On POSIX platforms these two new handles will always be Nothing

This function has been available from the System.Process.Internals module for some time, and is part of the System.Process module since version 1.2.1.0.

Since: process-1.2.1.0

runGenProcess_ Source

fdToHandle :: FD -> IO Handle Source

Turn an existing file descriptor into a Handle. This is used by various external libraries to make Handles.

Makes a binary Handle. This is for historical reasons; it should probably be a text Handle with the default encoding and newline translation instead.

startDelegateControlC :: IO () Source

endDelegateControlC :: ExitCode -> IO () Source

stopDelegateControlC :: IO () Source

unwrapHandles :: ProcRetHandles -> (Maybe Handle, Maybe Handle, Maybe Handle, ProcessHandle) Source

pPrPr_disableITimers :: IO () Source

c_execvpe :: CString -> Ptr CString -> Ptr CString -> IO CInt Source

ignoreSignal :: CLong Source

defaultSignal :: CLong Source

runInteractiveProcess_lock :: MVar () Source

runInteractiveProcess blocks signals around the fork(). Since blocking/unblocking of signals is a global state operation, we need to ensure mutual exclusion of calls to runInteractiveProcess. This lock is exported so that other libraries which also need to fork() (and also need to make the same global state changes) can protect their changes with the same lock. See https://github.com/haskell/process/pull/154.

Since: process-1.6.6.0

withFilePathException :: FilePath -> IO a -> IO a Source

withCEnvironment :: [(String, String)] -> (Ptr CString -> IO a) -> IO a Source

translate :: String -> String Source

createPipe :: IO (Handle, Handle) Source

Create a pipe for interprocess communication and return a (readEnd, writeEnd) Handle pair.

Since: process-1.2.1.0

createPipeFd :: IO (FD, FD) Source

Create a pipe for interprocess communication and return a (readEnd, writeEnd) FD pair.

Since: process-1.4.2.0

interruptProcessGroupOf Source

Sends an interrupt signal to the process group of the given process.

On Unix systems, it sends the group the SIGINT signal.

On Windows systems, it generates a CTRL_BREAK_EVENT and will only work for processes created using createProcess and setting the create_group flag
