[PATCH v4 1/2] core: Non-blocking io.popen

Stanislav Zudin szudin at tarantool.org
Tue Jul 2 10:36:15 MSK 2019


Adds nonblocking implementation of popen.
The method is available in namespace fio.
fio.popen() returns an object providing facilities
for dealing with standard input/output, getting
status of the child process.

Closes #4031

@TarantoolBot document
Title: Nonblocking fio.popen

handle, err = fio.popen(parameters)

fio.popen starts a process and redirects its input/output.

parameters - a table containing arguments to run a process.
The following arguments are expected:

argv - [mandatory] is a table of argument strings passed to
the new program. By convention, the first of these strings should
contain the filename associated with the file being executed.

environment - [optional] is a table of strings, conventionally of the
form key=value, which are passed as environment to the new program.
If not specified a parent's environment is used.

By default stdin, stdout,stderr of the associated process are
available for writing/reading using object's methods
handle:write() and handle:read().
One can override default behavior to redirect streams to/from file
or to input/output of another process or to the default input/output
of the parent process.

stdin - [optional] overrides the child process's standard input.
stdout - [optional] overrides the child process's standard output.
stderr - [optional] overrides the the child process's standard
error output.
May accept one of the following values:
Handle of the file open with fio.open()
Handle of the standard input/output of another process,
open by fio.popen
A constant defining the parent's STDIN, STDOUT or STDERR.
A constants:
fio.PIPE - Opens a file descriptor available for reading/writing
or redirection to/from another process.
fio.DEVNULL - Makes fio.popen redirect the output to /dev/null.

On success returns an object providing methods for
communication with the running process.
Returns nil if underlying functions calls fail;
in this case the second return value, err, contains a error message.

The object created by fio.popen provides the following methods:
read()
write()
kill()
wait()
status()
stdin()
stdout()
stderr()

number handle:stdin()

Returns handle of the child process's standard input.
The handle is available only if it was created with
fio.PIPE option.
Use this handle to setup a redirection
from file or other process to the input of the associated process.
If handle is unavailable the method returns nil.

number handle:stdout()
number handle:stderr()

Return STDOUT and STDIN of the associated process accordingly.
See handle:stdin() for details.

rc,err = handle:wait(timeout)

The wait() waits for the associated process to terminate.

timeout - an integer specifies number of seconds to wait.
If the requested time has elapsed the method returns false,
the second return value, err, contains a error message.
To distinguish timeout from the the other errors use errno.
If timeout is nil, the method waits infinitely until
the associated process is terminated.
On success function returns true.
If failed, rc is false and err contains a error message.

If the associated process is terminated, one can use the following
methods get the exit status:

rc = handle:status()

returns nil if process is still running
 == 0 if the process exited normally
 error code > 0 if the process terminated with an error
 -signal if the process was killed by a signal

rc, err = handle:kill(sig)

The kill() sends a specified signal to the associated process.
On success the method returns true,
if failed - false and error message.
If the sig is nil the default "SIGTERM" is being sent to the process.
If the signal is unknown then the method fails (with error EINVAL).
The method accepts string names of signal as well as their numeric
values.

rc,src,err = handle:read(buffer,size,timeout)

read stdout & stderr of the process started by fio.popen
Usage:
 read(size) -> str, source, err
 read(buf, size) -> length, source, err
 read(size, timeout) -> str, source, err
 read(buf, size, timeout) -> length, source, err

 timeout - number of seconds to wait (optional)
 source contains id of the stream, fio.STDOUT or fio.STDERR
 err - error message if method has failed or nil on success

rc, err = handle:write(buf[, size])
rc, err = handle:write(opts), where opts are:
  * buf
  * size
  * timeout

Writes specified number of bytes
On success returns number of written bytes.
If failed the rc is nil and err contains an error message.
