class Process

Emitted when this process and all of its pipes are closed.

Emitted when an error occurs during communication with this process.

Emitted when this process exits, potentially due to a signal.

Emitted when a message is received over IPC. The process must be created with an Ipc entry in options.stdio; see Process.spawn.

Process identifier of this process. A PID uniquely identifies a process on its host machine for the duration of its lifetime.

Standard error. May be null - see options.stdio in spawn.

Standard input. May be null - see options.stdio in spawn.

Pipes created between the current (host) process and this (spawned) process. The order corresponds to the ProcessIO specifiers in options.stdio in spawn. This array can be used to access non-standard pipes, i.e. file descriptors 3 and higher, as well as file descriptors 0-2 with non-standard read/write access.

Standard output. May be null - see options.stdio in spawn.

Close this process handle and all pipes in stdio.

Send a signal to this process.

Send data to the process over the IPC channel. The process must be created with an Ipc entry in options.stdio; see Process.spawn.

Execute the given command with args (none by default). options can be specified to change the way the process is spawned.

options.stdio is an optional array of ProcessIO specifications which can be used to define the file descriptors for the new process:

• Ignore - skip the current position. No stream or pipe will be open for this index.
• Inherit - inherit the corresponding file descriptor from the current process. Shares standard input, standard output, and standard error in index 0, 1, and 2, respectively. In index 3 or higher, Inherit has the same effect as Ignore.
• Pipe(readable, writable, ?pipe) - create or use a pipe. readable and writable specify whether the pipe will be readable and writable from the point of view of the spawned process. If pipe is given, it is used directly, otherwise a new pipe is created.
• Ipc - create an IPC (inter-process comunication) pipe. Only one may be specified in options.stdio. This special pipe will not have an entry in the stdio array of the resulting process; instead, messages can be sent using the send method, and received over messageSignal. IPC pipes allow sending and receiving structured Haxe data, as well as connected sockets and pipes.

Pipes are made available in the stdio array afther the process is spawned. Standard file descriptors have their own variables:

• stdin - set to point to a pipe in index 0, if it exists and is read-only for the spawned process.
• stdout - set to point to a pipe in index 1, if it exists and is write-only for the spawned process.
• stderr - set to point to a pipe in index 2, if it exists and is write-only for the spawned process.

If options.stdio is not given, [Pipe(true, false), Pipe(false, true), Pipe(false, true)] is used as a default.
