spawn_async_with_pipes
Description:
Identical to spawn_async_with_pipes_and_fds but with `n_fds` set to zero, so no FD assignments are used.
Example: Spawn with pipes, async:
private static bool process_line (IOChannel channel, IOCondition condition, string stream_name) {
if (condition == IOCondition.HUP) {
print ("%s: The fd has been closed.\n", stream_name);
return false;
}
try {
string line;
channel.read_line (out line, null, null);
print ("%s: %s", stream_name, line);
} catch (IOChannelError e) {
print ("%s: IOChannelError: %s\n", stream_name, e.message);
return false;
} catch (ConvertError e) {
print ("%s: ConvertError: %s\n", stream_name, e.message);
return false;
}
return true;
}
public static int main (string[] args) {
MainLoop loop = new MainLoop ();
try {
string[] spawn_args = {"ls", "-l", "-h"};
string[] spawn_env = Environ.get ();
Pid child_pid;
int standard_input;
int standard_output;
int standard_error;
Process.spawn_async_with_pipes ("/",
spawn_args,
spawn_env,
SpawnFlags.SEARCH_PATH | SpawnFlags.DO_NOT_REAP_CHILD,

out child_pid,
out standard_input,

// stdout:
IOChannel output = new IOChannel.unix_new (standard_output);
output.add_watch (IOCondition.IN | IOCondition.HUP, (channel, condition) => {
return process_line (channel, condition, "stdout");
});
// stderr:
IOChannel error = new IOChannel.unix_new (standard_error);
error.add_watch (IOCondition.IN | IOCondition.HUP, (channel, condition) => {
return process_line (channel, condition, "stderr");
});
ChildWatch.add (child_pid, (pid, status) => {
// Triggered when the child indicated by child_pid exits
Process.close_pid (pid);

});
loop.run ();
} catch (SpawnError e) {

}
return 0;
