Class Method Details

.check(pid, raise = false) ⇒ Process::Status? .check(pid, true) ⇒ nil, raises PTY::ChildExited

Checks the status of the child process specified by pid. Returns nil if the process is still alive.

If the process is not alive, and raise was true, a PTY::ChildExited exception will be raised. Otherwise it will return a Process::Status instance.

pid

The process id of the process to check

raise

If true and the process identified by pid is no longer alive a PTY::ChildExited is raised.

Overloads:

  • .check(pid, raise = false) ⇒ Process::Status?

    Returns:

    • (Process::Status, nil)
  • .check(pid, true) ⇒ nil, raises PTY::ChildExited

    Returns:

.open ⇒ Array .open {|(master_io, slave_file)| ... } ⇒ Object

Allocates a pty (pseudo-terminal).

In the block form, yields an array of two elements (master_io, slave_file) and the value of the block is returned from open.

The IO and File are both closed after the block completes if they haven’t been already closed.

PTY.open {|master, slave|
  p master      #=> #<IO:masterpty:/dev/pts/1>
  p slave      #=> #<File:/dev/pts/1>
  p slave.path #=> "/dev/pts/1"
}

In the non-block form, returns a two element array, [master_io, slave_file].

master, slave = PTY.open
# do something with master for IO, or the slave file

The arguments in both forms are:

master_io

the master of the pty, as an IO.

slave_file

the slave of the pty, as a File. The path to the

terminal device is available via slave_file.path

IO#raw! is usable to disable newline conversions:

require 'io/console'
PTY.open {|m, s|
  s.raw!
  # ...
}

Overloads:

  • .open ⇒ Array

    Returns:

  • .open {|(master_io, slave_file)| ... } ⇒ Object

    Yields:

    • ((master_io, slave_file))

.spawn([env,]) {|r, w, pid| ... } ⇒ Object .spawn([env,]) ⇒ Array .spawn([env,], arguments, ...) {|r, w, pid| ... } ⇒ Object .spawn([env,], arguments, ...) ⇒ Array

Spawns the specified command on a newly allocated pty. You can also use the alias ::getpty.

The command’s controlling tty is set to the slave device of the pty and its standard input/output/error is redirected to the slave device.

env is an optional hash that provides additional environment variables to the spawned pty.

# sets FOO to "bar"
PTY.spawn({"FOO"=>"bar"}, "printenv", "FOO") { |r,w,pid| p r.read } #=> "bar\r\n"
# unsets FOO
PTY.spawn({"FOO"=>nil}, "printenv", "FOO") { |r,w,pid| p r.read } #=> ""

command and command_line are the full commands to run, given a String. Any additional arguments will be passed to the command.

Return values

In the non-block form this returns an array of size three, [r, w, pid].

In the block form these same values will be yielded to the block:

r

A readable IO that contains the command’s standard output and standard error

w

A writable IO that is the command’s standard input

pid

The process identifier for the command.

Overloads:

  • .spawn([env,]) {|r, w, pid| ... } ⇒ Object

    Yields:

    • (r, w, pid)
  • .spawn([env,]) ⇒ Array

    Returns:

  • .spawn([env,], arguments, ...) {|r, w, pid| ... } ⇒ Object

    Yields:

    • (r, w, pid)
  • .spawn([env,], arguments, ...) ⇒ Array

    Returns:
