Detailed Description

Execute a program and give access to its io An object of this class encapsulates the execution of an external program.

It starts the program using fork and some exec.. call, gives you access to the program's stdio and closes the program after use.

* const char* argv[] =
* {
* "/usr/bin/foo,

* NULL

* false, -1, true);
* string line;
* for(line = prog.receiveLine();
* ! line.empty();
* line = prog.receiveLine() )

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

zypp::ExternalProgram::ExternalProgram ( std::string  commandline,
Stderr_Disposition  stderr_disp = Normal_Stderr,
bool  use_pty = false,
int  stderr_fd = -1,
bool  default_locale = false,
const Pathname &  root = "" 
)

Start the external program by using the shell /bin/sh with the option -c.

You can use io direction symbols < and >.

Parameters
commandlinea shell commandline that is appended to /bin/sh -c.
default_localewhether to set LC_ALL=C before starting
rootdirectory to chroot into, / or empty to not chroot

Definition at line 42 of file ExternalProgram.cc.

zypp::ExternalProgram::ExternalProgram ( )

Start an external program by giving the arguments as an arry of char *pointers.

If environment is provided, varaiables will be added to the childs environment, overwriting existing ones.

Initial args starting with # are discarded but some are treated specially: #/[path] - chdir to /[path] before executing

Stdin redirection: If the 1st argument starts with a '<', the remaining part is treated as file opened for reading on standard input (or /dev/null if empty).

* // cat file /tmp/x
* const char* argv[] = { "</tmp/x", "cat", NULL };
* ExternalProgram prog( argv );
