(@em Really not recommended *for programs with a GUI.) * *OProcess also provides several functions for determining the exit status *and the pid of the child process it represents. * *Furthermore it is possible to supply command-line arguments to the process *in a clean fashion (no null -- terminated stringlists and such...) * *A small usage example: *<pre> *OProcess *proc = new OProcess; * **proc << "my_executable"; **proc << "These" << "are" << "the" << "command" << "line" << "args"; *QApplication::connect(proc, SIGNAL(processExited(OProcess *)), * pointer_to_my_object, SLOT(my_objects_slot(OProcess *))); *proc->start(); *</pre> * *This will start "my_executable" with the commandline arguments "These"... * *When the child process exits, the respective Qt signal will be emitted. * *@sect Communication with the child process * *OProcess supports communication with the child process through *stdin/stdout/stderr. * *The following functions are provided for getting data from the child *process or sending data to the child's stdin (For more information, *have a look at the documentation of each function): * *@li bool @ref writeStdin(char *buffer, int buflen); *@li -- Transmit data to the child process's stdin. * *@li bool @ref closeStdin(); *@li -- Closes the child process's stdin (which causes it to see an feof(stdin)). *Returns false if you try to close stdin for a process that has been started *without a communication channel to stdin. * *@li bool @ref closeStdout(); *@li -- Closes the child process's stdout. *Returns false if you try to close stdout for a process that has been started *without a communication channel to stdout. * *@li bool @ref closeStderr(); *@li -- Closes the child process's stderr. *Returns false if you try to close stderr for a process that has been started *without a communication channel to stderr. * * *@sect QT signals: * *@li void @ref receivedStdout(OProcess *proc, char *buffer, int buflen); *@li void @ref receivedStderr(OProcess *proc, char *buffer, int buflen); *@li -- Indicates that new data has arrived from either the *child process's stdout or stderr. * *@li void @ref wroteStdin(OProcess *proc); *@li -- Indicates that all data that has been sent to the child process *by a prior call to @ref writeStdin() has actually been transmitted to the *client . * *@author Christian Czezakte e9025461@student.tuwien.ac.at * * **/ class OProcess : public QObject { Q_OBJECT public: /** * Modes in which the communication channel can be opened. * * If communication for more than one channel is required, * the values have to be or'ed together, for example to get * communication with stdout as well as with stdin, you would * specify @p Stdin @p | @p Stdout * * If @p NoRead is specified in conjunction with @p Stdout, * no data is actually read from @p Stdout but only * the signal @ref childOutput(int fd) is emitted. */ enum Communication { NoCommunication = 0, Stdin = 1, Stdout = 2, Stderr = 4, AllOutput = 6, All = 7, NoRead }; /** * Run-modes for a child process. */ enum RunMode { /** * The application does not receive notifications from the subprocess when * it is finished or aborted. */ DontCare, /** * The application is notified when the subprocess dies. */ NotifyOnExit, /** * The application is suspended until the started process is finished. */ Block }; /** * Constructor */ OProcess(QObject *parent = 0, const char *name = 0); + /** + * Constructor + */ OProcess(const QString &arg0, QObject *parent = 0, const char *name = 0); + /** + * Constructor + */ OProcess(const QStringList &args, QObject *parent = 0, const char *name = 0); /** *Destructor: * * If the process is running when the destructor for this class * is called, the child process is killed with a SIGKILL, but * only if the run mode is not of type @p DontCare. * Processes started as @p DontCare keep running anyway. */ virtual ~OProcess(); /** @deprecated The use of this function is now deprecated. -- Please use the "operator<<" instead of "setExecutable".
