## Detailed Description

Execute a program and give access to its io An object of this class encapsulates the execution of an external program.

It starts the program using fork and some exec.. call, gives you access to the program's stdio and closes the program after use.

const char* argv[] =
{
"/usr/bin/foo,
"--option1",
"--option2",
NULL
};
ExternalProgram prog( argv,
ExternalProgram::Discard_Stderr,
false, -1, true);
string line;
for(line = prog.receiveLine();
! line.empty();
line = prog.receiveLine() )
{
stream << line;
}
prog.close();

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## ◆ ExternalProgram() [1/8]

zypp::ExternalProgram::ExternalProgram | ( | const std::string & | commandline,
|  | Stderr_Disposition | stderr_disp = Normal_Stderr,
|  | bool | use_pty = false,
|  | int | stderr_fd = -1,
|  | bool | default_locale = false,
|  | const Pathname & | root = "" )

Start the external program by using the shell /bin/sh with the option -c.

You can use io direction symbols < and >.

Parameters

  commandline | a shell commandline that is appended to /bin/sh -c.
  default_locale | whether to set LC_ALL=C before starting
  root | directory to chroot into; or just 'cd' if '/'l; nothing if empty

Definition at line 48 of file ExternalProgram.cc.

## ◆ ExternalProgram() [2/8]

zypp::ExternalProgram::ExternalProgram | ( |  | ) |

Start an external program by giving the arguments as an arry of char *pointers.

If environment is provided, varaiables will be added to the childs environment, overwriting existing ones.

Initial args starting with `#` are discarded but some are treated specially: #/[path] - chdir to /[path] before executing

Stdin redirection: If the 1st argument starts with a '<', the remaining part is treated as file opened for reading on standard input (or `/dev/null` if empty).

// cat file /tmp/x
const char* argv[] = { "</tmp/x", "cat", NULL };
ExternalProgram prog( argv );

Stdout redirection: If the 1st argument starts with a '>', the remaining part is treated as file opened for writing on standard output (or `/dev/null` if empty).
