Module Process

Low-level process handling

This is low-level enough that you should probably be using Shell instead to dispatch processes.

Signature

module Status : sig .. end

module Command_result : sig .. end

val kill : ?is_child:bool -> ?wait_for:Core.Std.Time.Span.t -> ?signal:Core.Std.Signal.t -> Core.Std.Pid.t -> unit

kills a process by sending signal; waiting for wait_for and then sending a sigkill. You need to set is_child to true when killing child processes or run waitpid on them in another.

TODO: CUSTOM TAG raises [Failure if the target program hangs for more that wait_for after receiving the sigkill.]

val run : ?timeout:Core.Std.Time.Span.t -> ?use_extra_path:bool -> ?working_dir:string -> ?setuid:int -> ?setgid:int -> ?env:[

| `Extend of (string * string) list

| `Replace of (string * string) list

] -> ?input:string -> ?keep_open:bool -> ?stdoutf:(string -> int -> unit) -> ?stderrf:(string -> int -> unit) -> ?tail_len:int -> prog:string -> args:string list -> unit -> Command_result.t
