Sourcetype t

A subprocess

Sourceval spawn : ?pdeathsig:int -> string array -> t

spawn ~pdeathsig command spawns the specified command in a new process. The command is searched in the path.

When given, the signal pdeathsig will be delivered to the child process if the current thread dies (implemented only on Linux). The process must be closed via close.

Sourceval pid : t -> int

pid t returns the process identifier.

Sourceval stdin : t -> out_channel

stdin t returns the channel bound to the subprocess stdin.

Sourceval stdout : t -> in_channel

stdout t returns the channel bound to the subprocess stdout.

Sourceval stderr : t -> in_channel

stderr t returns the channel bound to the subprocess stderr.

close t closes a process created with spawn.

Close stdin, stdout and stderr channels, wait for the associated command to terminate and return its termination status.
