18 * SECTION:gsubprocess
19 * @title: GSubprocess
20 * @short_description: Child processes
21 * @see_also: #GSubprocessLauncher
23 * #GSubprocess allows the creation of and interaction with child
24 * processes.
26 * Processes can be communicated with using standard GIO-style APIs (ie:
27 * #GInputStream, #GOutputStream). There are GIO-style APIs to wait for
28 * process termination (ie: cancellable and with an asynchronous
29 * variant).
31 * There is an API to force a process to terminate, as well as a
32 * race-free API for sending UNIX signals to a subprocess.
34 * One major advantage that GIO brings over the core GLib library is
35 * comprehensive API for asynchronous I/O, such
36 * g_output_stream_splice_async(). This makes GSubprocess
37 * significantly more powerful and flexible than equivalent APIs in
38 * some other languages such as the <literal>subprocess.py</literal>
39 * included with Python. For example, using #GSubprocess one could
40 * create two child processes, reading standard output from the first,
41 * processing it, and writing to the input stream of the second, all
42 * without blocking the main loop.
44 * A powerful g_subprocess_communicate() API is provided similar to the
45 * <literal>communicate()</literal> method of
46 * <literal>subprocess.py</literal>. This enables very easy interaction
47 * with a subprocess that has been opened with pipes.
49 * #GSubprocess defaults to tight control over the file descriptors open
50 * in the child process, avoiding dangling-fd issues that are caused by
51 * a simple fork()/exec(). The only open file descriptors in the
52 * spawned process are ones that were explicitly specified by the
53 * #GSubprocess API (unless %G_SUBPROCESS_FLAGS_INHERIT_FDS was
54 * specified).
56 * #GSubprocess will quickly reap all child processes as they exit,
57 * avoiding "zombie processes" remaining around for long periods of
58 * time. g_subprocess_wait() can be used to wait for this to happen,
59 * but it will happen even without the call being explicitly made.
61 * As a matter of principle, #GSubprocess has no API that accepts
62 * shell-style space-separated strings. It will, however, match the
63 * typical shell behaviour of searching the PATH for executables that do
64 * not contain a directory separator in their name.
66 * #GSubprocess attempts to have a very simple API for most uses (ie:
67 * spawning a subprocess with arguments and support for most typical
68 * kinds of input and output redirection). See g_subprocess_new(). The
69 * #GSubprocessLauncher API is provided for more complicated cases
70 * (advanced types of redirection, environment variable manipulation,
71 * change of working directory, child setup functions, etc).
73 * A typical use of #GSubprocess will involve calling
74 * g_subprocess_new(), followed by g_subprocess_wait() or
75 * g_subprocess_wait_sync(). After the process exits, the status can be
76 * checked using functions such as g_subprocess_get_if_exited() (which
77 * are similar to the familiar WIFEXITED-style POSIX macros).
79 * Since: 2.40

113 /* A GSubprocess can have two possible states: running and not.
115 * These two states are reflected by the value of 'pid'. If it is
116 * non-zero then the process is running, with that pid.
118 * When a GSubprocess is first created with g_object_new() it is not
119 * running. When it is finalized, it is also not running.
121 * During initable_init(), if the g_spawn() is successful then we
122 * immediately register a child watch and take an extra ref on the
123 * subprocess. That reference doesn't drop until the child has quit,
124 * which is why finalize can only happen in the non-running state. In
125 * the event that the g_spawn() failed we will still be finalizing a
126 * non-running GSubprocess (before returning from g_subprocess_new())
127 * with NULL.
129 * We make extensive use of the glib worker thread to guarantee
130 * race-free operation. As with all child watches, glib calls waitpid()
131 * in the worker thread. It reports the child exiting to us via the
132 * worker thread (which means that we can do synchronous waits without
133 * running a separate loop). We also send signals to the child process
134 * via the worker thread so that we don't race with waitpid() and
135 * accidentally send a signal to an already-reaped child.

1334 * context and iterating it until completion.
1336 * It's very possible that the process will dump a lot of data to stdout
1337 * just before it quits, so we can easily have data to read from stdout
1338 * and see the process has terminated at the same time. We want to make
1339 * sure that we read all of the data from the pipes first, though, so we

1342 * multiple reads to get this data, the pipe() will always be polling
1343 * as ready and with the async result for the read at a higher priority,
1344 * the main context will not dispatch the completion for the wait().
1346 * We keep our own private GCancellable. In the event that any of the

1549 * @cancellable: a #GCancellable
1550 * @stdout_buf: (out): data read from the subprocess stdout
1551 * @stderr_buf: (out): data read from the subprocess stderr
1552 * @error: a pointer to a %NULL #GError pointer, or %NULL
1554 * Communicate with the subprocess until it terminates, and all input
1555 * and output has been completed.
1557 * If @stdin is given, the subprocess must have been created with
1558 * %G_SUBPROCESS_FLAGS_STDIN_PIPE. The given data is fed to the
1559 * stdin of the subprocess and the pipe is closed (ie: EOF).
1561 * At the same time (as not to cause blocking when dealing with large
1562 * amounts of data), if %G_SUBPROCESS_FLAGS_STDOUT_PIPE or
1563 * %G_SUBPROCESS_FLAGS_STDERR_PIPE were used, reads from those
1564 * streams. The data that was read is returned in @stdout and/or
1565 * the @stderr.
1567 * If the subprocess was created with %G_SUBPROCESS_FLAGS_STDOUT_PIPE,
1568 * @stdout_buf will contain the data read from stdout. Otherwise, for
1569 * subprocesses not created with %G_SUBPROCESS_FLAGS_STDOUT_PIPE,
1570 * @stdout_buf will be set to %NULL. Similar provisions apply to
1571 * @stderr_buf and %G_SUBPROCESS_FLAGS_STDERR_PIPE.
1573 * As usual, any output variable may be given as %NULL to ignore it.
1575 * If you desire the stdout and stderr data to be interleaved, create
1576 * the subprocess with %G_SUBPROCESS_FLAGS_STDOUT_PIPE and
1577 * %G_SUBPROCESS_FLAGS_STDERR_MERGE. The merged result will be returned
1578 * in @stdout_buf and @stderr_buf will be set to %NULL.
1580 * In case of any error (including cancellation), %FALSE will be
1581 * returned with @error set. Some or all of the stdin data may have
1582 * been written. Any stdout or stderr data that has been read will be
1583 * discarded. None of the out variables (aside from @error) will have
1584 * been set to anything in particular and should not be inspected.
1586 * In the case that %TRUE is returned, the subprocess has exited and the
1587 * exit status inspection APIs (eg: g_subprocess_get_if_exited(),
1588 * g_subprocess_get_exit_status()) may be used.
1590 * You should not attempt to use any of the subprocess pipes after
1591 * starting this function, since they may be left in strange states,
1592 * even if the operation was cancelled. You should especially not
1593 * attempt to interact with the pipes while the operation is in progress
1594 * (either from another thread or if using the asynchronous version).
