take_stderr_fd


Description:

public void take_stderr_fd (int fd)

Sets the file descriptor to use as the stderr for spawned processes.

If fd is -1 then any previously given fd is unset.

Note that the default behaviour is to pass stderr through to the stderr of the parent process.

The passed fd belongs to the SubprocessLauncher. It will be automatically closed when the launcher is finalized. The file descriptor will also be closed on the child side when executing the spawned process.

You may not set a stderr fd if a stderr file path is already set or if the launcher flags contain any flags directing stderr elsewhere.

This feature is only available on UNIX.

Parameters:

this

a SubprocessLauncher

fd

a file descriptor, or -1
