(module) std.process

Functions for starting and interacting with other processes, and for working with the current process' execution environment.

Process handling

  • `spawnProcess` spawns a new `process`, optionally assigning it an
        

    arbitrary set of standard input, output, and error streams. The function returns immediately, leaving the child process to execute in parallel with its parent. All other functions in this module that spawn processes are built around spawnProcess.

  • `wait` makes the parent `process` wait for a child `process` to
        

    terminate. In general one should always do this, to avoid child processes becoming "zombies" when the parent process exits. Scope guards are perfect for this – see the spawnProcess documentation for examples. tryWait is similar to wait, but does not block if the process has not yet terminated.

  • `pipeProcess` also spawns a child `process` which runs
        

    in parallel with its parent. However, instead of taking arbitrary streams, it automatically creates a set of pipes that allow the parent to communicate with the child through the child's standard input, output, and/or error streams. This function corresponds roughly to C's popen function.

  • `execute` starts a new `process` and waits for it
        

    to complete before returning. Additionally, it captures the process' standard output and error streams and returns the output of these as a string.

  • `spawnShell`, `pipeShell` and `executeShell` work like
        

    spawnProcess, pipeProcess and execute, respectively, except that they take a single command string and run it through the current user's default command interpreter. executeShell corresponds roughly to C's system function.

  • `kill` attempts to terminate a running `process`.
    
    

The following table compactly summarises the different process creation functions and how they relate to each other:

Runs program directly
Runs shell command
Low-level process creation
spawnProcess
spawnShell
Automatic input/output redirection using pipes
pipeProcess
pipeShell
Execute and wait for completion, collect output
execute
executeShell

Other functionality

  • `pipe` is used to create unidirectional pipes.
    
  • `environment` is an interface through which the current `process`'
        

    environment variables can be read and manipulated.

  • `escapeShellCommand` and `escapeShellFileName` are useful
        

    for constructing shell command lines in a portable way.

Note

Most of the functionality in this module is not available on iOS, tvOS and watchOS. The only functions available on those platforms are: environment, thisProcessID and thisThreadID.

Executes the given program or shell command and returns its exit code and output.

execute and executeShell start a new process using spawnProcess and spawnShell, respectively, and wait for the process to complete before returning. The functions capture what the child process prints to both its standard output and standard error streams, and return this together with its exit code.

auto dmd = execute(["dmd", "myapp.d"]);
if (dmd.status != 0) writeln("Compilation failed:\n", dmd.output);

auto ls = executeShell("ls -l");
if (ls.status != 0) writeln("Failed to retrieve file listing");
else writeln(ls.output);

The args/program/command, env and config parameters are forwarded straight to the underlying spawn functions, and we refer to their documentation for details.

POSIX specific

If the process is terminated by a signal, the status field of the return value will contain a negative number whose absolute value is the signal number. (See wait for details.)

@paramargs An array which contains the program name as the zeroth element and any command-line arguments in the following elements. (See spawnProcess for details.)@paramprogram The program name, without command-line arguments. (See spawnProcess for details.)@paramcommand A shell command which is passed verbatim to the command interpreter. (See spawnShell for details.)@paramenv Additional environment variables for the child process. (See spawnProcess for details.)@paramconfig Flags that control process creation. See Config for an overview of available flags, and note that the retainStd... flags have no effect in this function.@parammaxOutput The maximum number of bytes of output that should be captured.@paramworkDir The working directory for the new process. By default the child process inherits the parent's working directory.@paramshellPath The path to the shell to use to run the specified program. By default this is nativeShell.@returnsAn std.typecons.Tuple!(int, "status", string, "output").@throws

ProcessException on failure to start the process.

StdioException on failure to capture output.

Standard I/O functions that extend core.stdc.stdio. core.stdc.stdio is publically imported when importing std.stdio.

There are three layers of I/O:

  1. The lowest layer is the operating system layer. The two main schemes are Windows and Posix.

  2. C's stdio.h which unifies the two operating system schemes.

  3. std.stdio, this module, unifies the various stdio.h implementations into a high level package for D programs.

Objects of types string, wstring, and dstring are value types
and cannot be mutated element-by-element. For using mutation during building
strings, use char[], wchar[], or dchar[]. The xxxstring
types are preferable because they don't exhibit undesired aliasing, thus
making code more robust.
