17 | =head1 NAME |
18 | |
19 | IPC::Open3, open3 - open a process for reading, writing, and error handling |
20 | |
21 | =head1 SYNOPSIS |
22 | |
84902520 |
23 | $pid = open3(\*WTRFH, \*RDRFH, \*ERRFH, |
f06db76b |
24 | 'some cmd and args', 'optarg', ...); |
25 | |
26 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
27 | |
28 | Extremely similar to open2(), open3() spawns the given $cmd and |
29 | connects RDRFH for reading, WTRFH for writing, and ERRFH for errors. If |
30 | ERRFH is '', or the same as RDRFH, then STDOUT and STDERR of the child are |
eeba3357 |
31 | on the same file handle. The WTRFH will have autoflush turned on. |
f06db76b |
32 | |
1fef88e7 |
33 | If WTRFH begins with "E<lt>&", then WTRFH will be closed in the parent, and |
4633a7c4 |
34 | the child will read from it directly. If RDRFH or ERRFH begins with |
a24d8dfd |
35 | "E<gt>&", then the child will send output directly to that file handle. |
36 | In both cases, there will be a dup(2) instead of a pipe(2) made. |
f06db76b |

38 | If you try to read from the child's stdout writer and their stderr |
39 | writer, you'll have problems with blocking, which means you'll |
40 | want to use select(), which means you'll have to use sysread() instead |
41 | of normal stuff. |
42 | |
7e1af8bc |
43 | open3() returns the process ID of the child process. It doesn't return on |
44 | failure: it just raises an exception matching C</^open3:/>. |

46 | =head1 WARNING |
47 | |
48 | It will not create these file handles for you. You have to do this |
49 | yourself. So don't pass it empty variables expecting them to get filled |
50 | in for you. |
f06db76b |
51 | |
7e1af8bc |
52 | Additionally, this is very dangerous as you may block forever. It |
53 | assumes it's going to talk to something like B<bc>, both writing to it |
54 | and reading from it. This is presumably safe because you "know" that |
55 | commands like B<bc> will read a line at a time and output a line at a |
56 | time. Programs like B<sort> that read their entire input stream first, |
57 | however, are quite apt to cause deadlock. |
58 | |
59 | The big problem with this approach is that if you don't have control |
7a2e2cd6 |
60 | over source code being run in the child process, you can't control |
7e1af8bc |
61 | what it does with pipe buffering. Thus you can't just open a pipe to |
62 | C<cat -v> and continually read and write a line from it. |

74 | # |
75 | # spawn the given $cmd and connect rdr for |
76 | # reading, wtr for writing, and err for errors. |
77 | # if err is '', or the same as rdr, then stdout and |
78 | # stderr of the child are on the same fh. returns pid |
7e1af8bc |
79 | # of child (or dies on failure). |

82 | # if wtr begins with '<&', then wtr will be closed in the parent, and |
a0d0e21e |
83 | # the child will read from it directly. if rdr or err begins with |
84 | # '>&', then the child will send output directly to that fd. In both |
85 | # cases, there will be a dup() instead of a pipe() made. |
