Child::Link::Proc(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Child::Link::Proc(3)NAMEChild::Link::Proc - Proc object used by Child.
SEE ALSO
This class inherits from:
Child::Link
METHODS
$bool = $proc->is_complete()
Check if the child is finished (non-blocking)
$proc->wait()
Wait until child terminates, destroy remaining zombie process
(blocking)
$proc->kill($SIG)
Send the $SIG signal to the child process.
NOTE: kill() is unpredictable on windows, strawberry perl sends the
kill signal to the parent as well as the child.
$proc->pid()
Returns the process PID.
$proc->exit_status()
Will be undef unless the process has exited, otherwise it will have
the exit status.
Note: When you call exit($N) the actual unix exit status will be
bit shifed with extra information added. exit_status() will shift
the value back for you. That means exit_status() will return 2
whun your child calls exit(2) see unix_exit() if you want the
actual value wait() assigned to $?.
$proc->unix_exit()
When you call exit($N) the actual unix exit status will be bit
shifed with extra information added. See exit_status() if you want
the actual value used in exit() in the child.
HISTORY
Most of this was part of Parrallel::Runner intended for use in the
Fennec project. Fennec is being broken into multiple parts, this is one
such part.
FENNEC PROJECT
This module is part of the Fennec project. See Fennec for more details.
Fennec is a project to develop an extendable and powerful testing
framework. Together the tools that make up the Fennec framework
provide a potent testing environment.
The tools provided by Fennec are also useful on their own. Sometimes a
tool created for Fennec is useful outside the greator framework. Such
tools are turned into their own projects. This is one such project.
Fennec - The core framework
The primary Fennec project that ties them all together.
