Function Documentation

ws_pipe_data_available()

WS_DLL_PUBLIC bool ws_pipe_data_available

(

int

pipe_fd

)

Check to see if a file descriptor has data available.

Parameters

pipe_fd

File descriptor.

Returns

true if data is available or false otherwise.

ws_pipe_init()

WS_DLL_PUBLIC void ws_pipe_init

(

ws_pipe_t *

ws_pipe

)

Initialize a ws_pipe_t struct. Sets .pid to WS_INVALID_PID and all other members to 0 or NULL.

Parameters

ws_pipe

[IN] The pipe to initialize.

ws_pipe_spawn_async()

WS_DLL_PUBLIC GPid ws_pipe_spawn_async	(	ws_pipe_t *	ws_pipe,
		GPtrArray *	args
	)

Start a process using g_spawn_sync on UNIX and Linux, and CreateProcess on Windows.

Parameters

ws_pipe	The process PID, stdio descriptors, etc.
args	The command to run along with its arguments.

Returns

A valid PID on success, otherwise WS_INVALID_PID.

ws_pipe_spawn_sync()

WS_DLL_PUBLIC bool ws_pipe_spawn_sync	(	const char *	working_directory,
		const char *	command,
		int	argc,
		char **	args,
		char **	command_output
	)

Run a process using g_spawn_sync on UNIX and Linux, and CreateProcess on Windows. Wait for it to finish.

Parameters

[IN]	working_directory Initial working directory.
[IN]	command Command to run.
[IN]	argc Number of arguments for the command, not including the command itself.
[IN]	args Arguments for the command, not including the command itself. The last element must be NULL.
[OUT]	command_output If not NULL, receives a copy of the command output. Must be g_freed.

Returns

true on success or false on failure.
