Sys::Process provides the methods to call the system call for the process manipulation.
Class Methods
alarm
static method alarm : int ($seconds : int);alarm() arranges for a SIGALRM signal to be delivered to the calling process in seconds seconds.
See the detail of the alerm function in the case of Linux.
fork
static method fork : int ();fork() creates a new process by duplicating the calling process. The new process, referred to as the child, is an exact duplicate of the calling process, referred to as the parent, except for the following points:
See the detail of the fork function in the case of Linux.
getpriority
static method getpriority : int ($which : int, $who : int);The scheduling priority of the process, process group, or user, as indicated by which and who is obtained with the getpriority() call and set with the setpriority() call.
See the detail of the getpriority function in the case of Linux.
setpriority
static method setpriority : int ($which : int, $who : int, $prio : int);The scheduling priority of the process, process group, or user, as indicated by which and who is obtained with the getpriority() call and set with the setpriority() call.
See the detail of the setpriority function in the case of Linux.
sleep
static method sleep : int ($seconds : int);sleep() makes the calling thread sleep until seconds seconds have elapsed or a signal arrives which is not ignored.
See the detail of the sleep function in the case of Linux.
kill
static method kill : int ($pid : int, $sig : int);The kill() system call can be used to send any signal to any process group or process.
See the detail of the kill function in the case of Linux.
wait
static method wait : int ($wstatus : int*);All of these system calls are used to wait for state changes in a child of the calling process, and obtain information about the child whose state has changed. A state change is considered to be: the child terminated; the child was stopped by a signal; or the child was resumed by a signal. In the case of a terminated child, performing a wait allows the system to release the resources associated with the child; if a wait is not performed, then the terminated child remains in a "zombie" state (see NOTES below).
See the detail of the wait function in the case of Linux.
See "Waiting Status Checking Methods" about checking the waiting status.
waitpid
static method waitpid : int ($pid : int, $wstatus : int*, $options : int);All of these system calls are used to wait for state changes in a child of the calling process, and obtain information about the child whose state has changed. A state change is considered to be: the child terminated; the child was stopped by a signal; or the child was resumed by a signal. In the case of a terminated child, performing a wait allows the system to release the resources associated with the child; if a wait is not performed, then the terminated child remains in a "zombie" state (see NOTES below).
See the detail of the waitpid function in the case of Linux.
See Sys::Process::Constant about the constant value for the options.
See "Waiting Status Checking Methods" about checking the waiting status.
system
static method system : int ($command : string);system() executes a command specified in command by calling /bin/sh -c command, and returns after the command has been completed. During execution of the command, SIGCHLD will be blocked, and SIGINT and SIGQUIT will be ignored.
See the detail of the system function in the case of Linux.
See "Waiting Status Checking Methods" about checking the return value.
exit
static method exit : int ($status : int);The exit() function causes normal process termination and the value of status & 0377 is returned to the parent (see wait(2)).
See the detail of the exit function in the case of Linux.
See Sys::Process::Constant about the constant value for the status.
pipe
static method pipe : int ($pipe_fds : int[]);pipe() creates a pipe, a unidirectional data channel that can be used for interprocess communication. The array pipefd is used to return two file descriptors referring to the ends of the pipe. pipefd[0] refers to the read end of the pipe. pipefd[1] refers to the write end of the pipe. Data written to the write end of the pipe is buffered by the kernel until it is read from the read end of the pipe. For further details, see pipe(7).
See the detail of the pipe function in the case of Linux.
getpgid
static method getpgid : int ($pid : int);All of these interfaces are available on Linux, and are used for getting and setting the process group ID (PGID) of a process. The preferred, POSIX.1-specified ways of doing this are: getpgid(void), for retrieving the calling process's PGID; and setpgid(), for setting a process's PGID.
See the detail of the getpgid function in the case of Linux.
setpgid
static method setpgid : int ($pid : int, $pgid : int);All of these interfaces are available on Linux, and are used for getting and setting the process group ID (PGID) of a process. The preferred, POSIX.1-specified ways of doing this are: getpgid(void), for retrieving the calling process's PGID; and setpgid(), for setting a process's PGID.
See the detail of the setpgid function in the case of Linux.
getpid
static method getpid : int ();getpid() returns the process ID of the calling process. (This is often used by routines that generate unique temporary filenames.)
See the detail of the getpid function in the case of Linux.
getppid
static method getppid : int ();getppid() returns the process ID of the parent of the calling process.
See the detail of the getppid function in the case of Linux.
execv
static method execv : int ($path : string, $args : string[]);The execv(), execvp(), and execvpe() functions provide an array of pointers to null-terminated strings that represent the argument list available to the new program. The first argument, by convention, should point to the filename associated with the file being executed. The array of pointers must be terminated by a NULL pointer.
See the detail of the https://linux.die.net/man/3/execv function in the case of Linux.
Waiting Status Checking Methods
WIFEXITED
static method WIFEXITED : int ($wstatus : int);WEXITSTATUS
static method WEXITSTATUS : int ($wstatus : int);WIFSIGNALED
static method WIFSIGNALED : int ($wstatus : int);WTERMSIG
static method WTERMSIG : int ($wstatus : int);WCOREDUMP
static method WCOREDUMP : int ($wstatus : int);WIFSTOPPED
static method WIFSTOPPED : int ($wstatus : int);WSTOPSIG
static method WSTOPSIG : int ($wstatus : int);WIFCONTINUED
static method WIFCONTINUED : int ($wstatus : int);usleep
static method usleep : int ($usec : int);The usleep() function suspends execution of the calling thread for (at least) usec microseconds. The sleep may be lengthened slightly by any system activity or by the time spent processing the call or by the granularity of system timers.
See the detail of the usleep function in the case of Linux.
ualarm
static method ualarm : long ($usecs : long, $interval : long);The ualarm() function causes the signal SIGALRM to be sent to the invoking process after (not less than) usecs microseconds. The delay may be lengthened slightly by any system activity or by the time spent processing the call or by the granularity of system timers.
See the detail of the https://linux.die.net/man/3/ualarm function in the case of Linux.
