This module is responsible for managing portable processes using Ecore. With this module you're able to spawn processes and you also can pause, quit your spawned processes. An interaction between your process and those spawned is possible using pipes or signals.
Example
Define Documentation
#define ECORE_EXE_PRIORITY_INHERIT 9999 |
Inherit priority from parent process
Typedef Documentation
A callback to run with the associated Ecore_Exe, usually for cleanup purposes.
typedef struct _Ecore_Exe_Event_Add Ecore_Exe_Event_Add |
Spawned Exe add event
typedef struct _Ecore_Exe_Event_Del Ecore_Exe_Event_Del |
Spawned Exe exit event

void ecore_exe_auto_limits_set | ( | Ecore_Exe * | exe, |
int | start_bytes, | ||
int | end_bytes, | ||
int | start_lines, | ||
int | end_lines | ||
) |
Sets the auto pipe limits for the given process handle. On Windows this function does nothing.
- Parameters:
-
exe The given process handle. start_bytes Limit of bytes at start of output to buffer. end_bytes Limit of bytes at end of output to buffer. start_lines Limit of lines at start of output to buffer. end_lines Limit of lines at end of output to buffer.

void ecore_exe_callback_pre_free_set | ( | Ecore_Exe * | exe, |
Ecore_Exe_Cb | func | ||
) |
Defines a function to be called before really freeing the handle data.
This might be useful for language bindings such as Python and Perl that need to deallocate wrappers associated with this handle.
This handle should never be modified by this call. It should be considered informative only. All getters are valid when the given function is called back.
- Parameters:
-
exe The child process to attach the pre_free function. func The function to call before exe is freed.

Ecore_Exe* ecore_exe_pipe_run | ( | const char * | exe_cmd, |
Ecore_Exe_Flags | flags, | ||
const void * | data | ||
) |
Spawns a child process with its stdin/out available for communication.
This function forks and runs the given command using /bin/sh
.
Note that the process handle is only valid until a child process terminated event is received. After all handlers for the child process terminated event have been called, the handle will be freed by Ecore.
This function does the same thing as ecore_exe_run(), but also makes the standard in and/or out as well as stderr from the child process available for reading or writing. To write use ecore_exe_send(). To read listen to ECORE_EXE_EVENT_DATA or ECORE_EXE_EVENT_ERROR events (set up handlers). Ecore may buffer read and error data until a newline character if asked for with the flags
. All data will be included in the events (newlines will be replaced with NULLS if line buffered). ECORE_EXE_EVENT_DATA events will only happen if the process is run with ECORE_EXE_PIPE_READ enabled in the flags. The same with the error version. Writing will only be allowed with ECORE_EXE_PIPE_WRITE enabled in the flags.
- Parameters:
-
exe_cmd The command to run with /bin/sh
.flags The flag parameters for how to deal with inter-process I/O data Data to attach to the returned process handle.
- Returns:
- A process handle to the spawned process.
- Since :
- 3.0
- Examples:
- ecore_exe_example.c.
void ecore_exe_quit | ( | Ecore_Exe * | exe | ) |
Sends the given spawned process a quit (SIGQUIT
) signal.
- Parameters:
-
exe Process handle to the given process.
- Since :
- 3.0
Ecore_Exe* ecore_exe_run | ( | const char * | exe_cmd, |
const void * | data | ||
) |
Spawns a child process.
This is now just a thin wrapper around ecore_exe_pipe_run()
- Parameters:
-
exe_cmd The command to run with /bin/sh
.data Data to attach to the returned process handle.
- Returns:
- A process handle to the spawned process.
- Note:
- When you use this function you will have no permissions to write or read on the pipe that connects you with the spawned process. If you need to do that use ecore_exe_pipe_run() with the appropriated flags.
- Since :
- 3.0
int ecore_exe_run_priority_get | ( | void | ) |
Gets the priority at which to launch processes.
This gets the priority of launched processes. See ecore_exe_run_priority_set() for details. This just returns the value set by this call.
- Returns:
- The value set by ecore_exe_run_priority_set()
- Since :
- 3.0
void ecore_exe_run_priority_set | ( | int | pri | ) |
Sets the priority at which to launch processes.
This sets the priority of processes run by ecore_exe_run() and ecore_exe_pipe_run().
- On Windows, the child process is created by default with the ECORE_EXE_WIN32_PRIORITY_NORMAL priority, unless the calling process is in ECORE_EXE_WIN32_PRIORITY_IDLE or ECORE_EXE_WIN32_PRIORITY_BELOW_NORMAL priority. In that case, the child process inherits this priority.
- On other platforms, if set to ECORE_EXE_PRIORITY_INHERIT child processes inherits the priority of their parent. This is the default.
- Parameters:
-
pri Value an Ecore_Exe_Win32_Priority value on Windows, -20
to19
or ECORE_EXE_PRIORITY_INHERIT on other OS.
- Since :
- 3.0
Eina_Bool ecore_exe_send | ( | Ecore_Exe * | exe, |
const void * | data, | ||
int | size | ||
) |
Sends data to the given child process which it receives on stdin.
This function writes to a child processes standard in, with unlimited buffering. This call will never block. It may fail if the system runs out of memory.
- Parameters:
-
exe The child process to send to data The data to send size The size of the data to send, in bytes
- Returns:
EINA_TRUE
if successful,EINA_FALSE
on failure.
- Since :
- 3.0
- Examples:
- ecore_exe_example.c.
void ecore_exe_signal | ( | Ecore_Exe * | exe, |
int | num | ||
) |
Sends a SIGUSR
signal to the given spawned process.
- Parameters:
-
exe Process handle to the given process. num The number user signal to send. Must be either 1
or2
, or the signal will be ignored.
- Since :
- 3.0
const char* ecore_exe_tag_get | ( | const Ecore_Exe * | exe | ) |
Retrieves the tag attached to the given process handle. There is no need to free it as it just returns the internal pointer value. This value is only valid as long as the exe
is valid or until the tag is set to something else on this exe
.
- Parameters:
-
exe The given process handle.
- Returns:
- The string attached to
exe
. It is a handle to existing internal string and should not be modified, use ecore_exe_tag_set() to change it. It might beNULL
.
