Function Documentation

◆ filter_create_fd()

pid_t filter_create_fd ( const char *  cmd,
FILE **  fp_in,
FILE **  fp_out,
FILE **  fp_err,
int  fdin,
int  fdout,
int  fderr,
char **  envlist 
)

Run a command on a pipe (optionally connect stdin/stdout)

Parameters
[in]cmdCommand line to invoke using sh -c
[out]fp_inFile stream pointing to stdin for the command process, can be NULL
[out]fp_outFile stream pointing to stdout for the command process, can be NULL
[out]fp_errFile stream pointing to stderr for the command process, can be NULL
[in]fdinIf in is NULL and fdin is not -1 then fdin will be used as stdin for the command process
[in]fdoutIf out is NULL and fdout is not -1 then fdout will be used as stdout for the command process
[in]fderrIf error is NULL and fderr is not -1 then fderr will be used as stderr for the command process
[in]envlistEnvironment variables
Return values
numPID of the created process
-1Error creating pipes or forking

This function provides multiple mechanisms to handle IO sharing for the command process. File streams are prioritized over file descriptors if present.

filter_create_fd(commandline, NULL, NULL, NULL, -1, -1, -1);
pid_t filter_create_fd(const char *cmd, FILE **fp_in, FILE **fp_out, FILE **fp_err, int fdin, int fdout, int fderr, char **envlist)
Run a command on a pipe (optionally connect stdin/stdout)
Definition: filter.c:61

Additionally, fp_in, fp_out, and fp_err will point to FILE* streams representing the processes stdin, stdout, and stderr.
