Public Attributes | |
std::string | pathname |
Filename or pathname of the program to execute. | |
std::vector< std::string > | args |
Arguments for the process to execute. | |
std::vector< std::string > | env |
Custom environment for the child process, if envFromParent is false. | |
bool | envFromParent |
True if the environment is to be taken from the parent, false if it is explicitly provided in env. | |
bool | searchInPath |
Set to true if the file is to be searched in the current $PATH. | |
Protected Member Functions | |
virtual int | main () |
Used to run the program as a child process, if one of the ChildProcess::fork functions is called. |
Execute external commands, either forked as a ChildProcess or directly using exec().
virtual wibble::sys::Exec::~Exec | ( | ) | [inline, virtual] |
wibble::sys::Exec::Exec | ( | const std::string & | pathname | ) | [inline] |
Create a new object that will execute program `program'.
References args.
void wibble::sys::Exec::exec | ( | ) |
exec the program, never returning if all goes well
References args, env, envFromParent, environ, pathname, and searchInPath.

void wibble::sys::Exec::importEnv | ( | ) |
int wibble::sys::Exec::main | ( | ) | [protected, virtual] |
Used to run the program as a child process, if one of the ChildProcess::fork functions is called.
Simply calls exec()
Implements wibble::sys::ChildProcess.
References exec().
std::vector<std::string> wibble::sys::Exec::args |
Arguments for the process to execute.
args[0] will be passed as the name of the child process
Referenced by Exec(), exec(), and wibble::sys::ShellCommand::ShellCommand().
std::vector<std::string> wibble::sys::Exec::env |
Custom environment for the child process, if envFromParent is false.
Referenced by exec(), and importEnv().
True if the environment is to be taken from the parent, false if it is explicitly provided in env.
Referenced by exec(), and wibble::sys::ShellCommand::ShellCommand().
std::string wibble::sys::Exec::pathname |
Filename or pathname of the program to execute.
If searchInPath is true, this just needs to be the file name. Otherwise, it needs to be the absolute path of the file to execute.
Referenced by exec().
Set to true if the file is to be searched in the current $PATH.
If this is set to true, the environment will always be taken from the parent regardless of the values of envFromParent and env.
