If PF_FILT_INP is passed in the flags member of SUBPROC, then the given r stream will be attached to the standard input of the child process, and subsequent reads from that descriptor in the parent get data from the standard output of the child, instead. The returned w descriptor is set to -1, since there is no longer any way to write to the input of the child. The default r descriptor of 0 will compel the child to act as a filter on the standard input of the parent. Whatever r handle you specify, the child will filter its read operations. Note that this should be called before anything has been buffered using r. If PF_FILT_OUT is set in flags, then the given w stream will be attached to the standard output of the child, and subsequent writes to that descriptor in the parent send data to the standard input of the child. The returned r descriptor is set to -1, since there is no output to read from any longer in the child. The default w descriptor of 1 will cause the child to act as a filter on the output of the parent. Make sure to call fflush(stdout) first if any data was buffered. It is illegal to set both PF_FILT_INP and PF_FILT_OUT, as a circular process is guaranteed to hang. */ #ifndef PIPE_BUF #ifdef PIPSIZ #define PIPE_BUF PIPSIZ #else #ifdef PIPE_MAX #define PIPE_BUF PIPE_MAX #else #define PIPE_BUF 512 /* hyperconservative */ #endif #endif #endif /* process flags */ #define PF_RUNNING 1 /* process is running */ #define PF_FILT_INP 2 /* use assigned read descriptor */ #define PF_FILT_OUT 4 /* use assigned write descriptor */ typedef struct { int flags; /* what is being done */ int r; /* read handle */ int w; /* write handle */ RT_PID pid; /* process ID */ } SUBPROC; #define SP_INACTIVE {0,0,1,-1} /* for static initializations */ #define close_process(pd) close_processes(pd,1) extern int open_process(SUBPROC *pd, char *av[]); extern int close_processes(SUBPROC pd[], int nproc); extern int process(SUBPROC *pd, char *recvbuf, char *sendbuf, int nbr, int nbs); extern int readbuf(int fd, char *bpos, int siz); extern int writebuf(int fd, char *bpos, int siz); #if defined(_WIN32) || defined(_WIN64) /* any non-negative increment will send the process to IDLE_PRIORITY_CLASS. */ extern int win_kill(RT_PID pid, int sig /* ignored */); extern int win_nice(int inc); #endif extern SUBPROC sp_inactive; #ifdef __cplusplus } #endif #endif /* _RAD_PROCESS_H_ */
