Detailed Description

A class for stream-like communication with a newly created process.

Member Function Documentation

- (void) closeForWriting

Closes the write direction of the process.

This method needs to be called for some programs before data can be read, since some programs don't start processing before the write direction is closed.

- (id) initWithProgram:

(OFString*)

program

Initializes an already allocated OFProcess with the specified program and invokes the program.

Parameters:

program

The program to execute. If it does not start with a slash, the search path specified in PATH is used.

Returns:

An initialized OFProcess.

- (id) initWithProgram:		(OFString*)	program
arguments:		(OFArray*)	arguments

Initializes an already allocated OFProcess with the specified program and arguments and invokes the program.

Parameters:

program	The program to execute. If it does not start with a slash, the search path specified in PATH is used.
arguments	The arguments to pass to the program, or nil

Returns:

An initialized OFProcess.

- (id) initWithProgram:		(OFString*)	program
programName:		(OFString*)	programName
arguments:		(OFArray*)	arguments

Initializes an already allocated OFProcess with the specified program, program name and arguments and invokes the program.

Parameters:

program	The program to execute. If it does not start with a slash, the search path specified in PATH is used.
programName	The program name for the program to invoke (argv[0]). Usually, this is equal to program.
arguments	The arguments to pass to the program, or nil

Returns:

An initialized OFProcess.

+ (id) processWithProgram:

(OFString*)

program

Creates a new OFProcess with the specified program and invokes the program.

Parameters:

program

The program to execute. If it does not start with a slash, the search path specified in PATH is used.

Returns:

A new, autoreleased OFProcess.

+ (id) processWithProgram:		(OFString*)	program
arguments:		(OFArray*)	arguments

Creates a new OFProcess with the specified program and arguments and invokes the program.

Parameters:

program	The program to execute. If it does not start with a slash, the search path specified in PATH is used.
arguments	The arguments to pass to the program, or nil

Returns:

A new, autoreleased OFProcess.

+ (id) processWithProgram:		(OFString*)	program
programName:		(OFString*)	programName
arguments:		(OFArray*)	arguments

Creates a new OFProcess with the specified program, program name and arguments and invokes the program.

Parameters:

program	The program to execute. If it does not start with a slash, the search path specified in PATH is used.
programName	The program name for the program to invoke (argv[0]). Usually, this is equal to program.
arguments	The arguments to pass to the program, or nil

Returns:

A new, autoreleased OFProcess.
