>>> toChunks "echo hello world" & Stdio.putChunks

Like toChunks but use the specified configuration to run the process.

>>> toChars "echo hello world" & Stdio.putChars
hello world

Pre-release

>>> toLines Fold.toList "echo -e hello\\\\nworld" & Stream.fold Fold.toList
["hello","world"]

Pre-release

>>> toString "echo hello world"
"hello world\n"

Pre-release

>>> toStdout "echo hello world"
hello world

>>> toNull "echo hello world"

Like pipeChunks except that it works on a stream of bytes instead of a stream of chunks.

>>> :{
   toBytes "echo hello world"
 & pipeBytes "tr [a-z] [A-Z]"
 & Stdio.putBytes
 :}
HELLO WORLD

Pre-release

Like pipeChunks except that it works on a stream of chars instead of a stream of chunks.

>>> :{
   toChars "echo hello world"
 & pipeChars "tr [a-z] [A-Z]"
 & Stdio.putChars
 :}
HELLO WORLD

pipeChunks command input runs the executable with arguments specified by command and supplying input stream as its standard input. Returns the standard output of the executable as a stream of byte arrays.

If only the name of an executable file is specified instead of its path then the file name is searched in the directories specified by the PATH environment variable.

If the input stream throws an exception or if the output stream is garbage collected before it could finish then the process is terminated with SIGTERM.

If the process terminates with a non-zero exit code then a ProcessFailure exception is raised.

The following code is equivalent to the shell command echo "hello world" | tr [a-z] [A-Z]:

>>> :{
   toChunks "echo hello world"
 & pipeChunks "tr [a-z] [A-Z]"
 & Stdio.putChunks
 :}
HELLO WORLD

Pre-release

Like pipeChunks but use the specified configuration to run the process.

Launch a standlone process i.e. the process does not have a way to attach the IO streams with other processes. The IO streams stdin, stdout, stderr can either be inherited from the parent or closed.

This API is more powerful than interactive and daemon and can be used to implement both of these. However, it should be used carefully e.g. if you inherit the IO streams and parent is not waiting for the child process to finish then both parent and child may use the IO streams resulting in garbled IO if both are reading/writing simultaneously.

If the parent chooses to wait for the process an ExitCode is returned otherwise a ProcessHandle is returned which can be used to terminate the process, send signals to it or wait for it to finish.

Launch a process interfacing with the user. User interrupts are sent to the launched process and ignored by the parent process. The launched process inherits stdin, stdout, and stderr from the parent, so that the user can interact with the process. The parent waits for the child process to exit, an ExitCode is returned when the process finishes.

This is the same as the common system function found in other libraries used to execute commands.

On Windows you can pass setSession NewConsole to create a new console.

Launch a daemon process. Closes stdin, stdout and stderr, creates a new session, detached from the terminal, the parent does not wait for the process to finish.

The ProcessHandle returned can be used to terminate the daemon or send signals to it.

A modifier for process running APIs in Streamly.System.Process to run command strings.

For example:

>>> runWith Process.toString "echo hello"
"hello\n"
>>> runWith Process.toStdout "echo hello"
hello

Internal

A modifier for stream generation APIs in Streamly.System.Process to generate streams from command strings.

For example:

>>> streamWith Process.toBytes "echo hello" & Stdio.putBytes
hello
>>> streamWith Process.toChunks "echo hello" & Stdio.putChunks
hello

Internal

A modifier for process piping APIs in Streamly.System.Process to pipe data through processes specified by command strings.

For example:

>>> :{
   toChunks "echo hello"
 & pipeWith Process.pipeChunks "tr [a-z] [A-Z]"
 & Stdio.putChunks
 :}
HELLO
