The point of the (purely + * internal) @a name is that passing the same @a name in more than + * one slot for a given LLProcess -- or for slots in different + * LLProcess instances -- means the same pipe. For example, you + * might pass the same @a name value as both stdout and stderr to + * make the child process produce both on the same actual pipe. Or + * you might pass the same @a name as the stdout for one LLProcess + * and the stdin for another to connect the two child processes. + * Use LLProcess::getPipeName() to generate a unique name + * guaranteed not to already exist in the registry. <i>Not yet + * implemented.</i> + * + * The difference between "pipe", "tpipe" and "npipe" is as follows. + * + * - "pipe": direct LLProcess to monitor the parent end of the pipe, + * pumping nonblocking I/O every frame.

It's important not + * to neglect such a pipe, because it's buffered in memory. If you + * suspect the child may produce a great volume of output between + * frames, consider directing the child to write to a filesystem + * file instead, then read the file later. + * + * - "tpipe": do not engage LLProcess machinery to monitor the + * parent end of the pipe. A "tpipe" is used only to connect + * different child processes. As such, it makes little sense to + * pass an empty @a name. <i>Not yet implemented.</i> + * + * - "npipe": like "tpipe", but use an OS named pipe with a + * generated name. Note that @a name is the @em internal name of + * the pipe in our global registry -- it doesn't necessarily have + * anything to do with the pipe's name in the OS filesystem. Use + * LLProcess::getPipeName() to obtain the named pipe's OS + * filesystem name, e.g. to pass it as the @a name to another + * LLProcess instance using @a type "file". This supports usage + * like bash's <(subcommand...) or >(subcommand...) + * constructs. <i>Not yet implemented.</i> + * + * In all cases the open mode (read, write) is determined by the child + * slot you're filling. Child stdin means select the "read" end of a + * pipe, or open a filesystem file for reading; child stdout or stderr + * means select the "write" end of a pipe, or open a filesystem file + * for writing. + * + * Confusion such as passing the same pipe as the stdin of two + * processes (rather than stdout for one and stdin for the other) is + * explicitly permitted: it's up to the caller to construct meaningful + * LLProcess pipe graphs. + */ + Optional<std::string> type; + Optional<std::string> name; + + FileParam(const std::string& tp="", const std::string& nm=""): + type("type"), + name("name") + { + // If caller wants to specify values, use explicit assignment to + // set them rather than initialization. + if (! tp.empty()) type = tp; + if (! nm.empty()) name = nm; + } + }; + + /// Param block definition + struct Params: public LLInitParam::Block<Params> + { + Params(): + executable("executable"), + args("args"), + cwd("cwd"), + autokill("autokill", true), + files("files"), + postend("postend"), + desc("desc") + {} + + /// pathname of executable + Mandatory<std::string> executable; + /** + * zero or more additional command-line arguments.
