# - Open3.pipeline : run a pipeline and wait for its completion
#
+require 'open3/version'
+
+# \Module \Open3 supports creating child processes
+# with access to their $stdin, $stdout, and $stderr streams.
+#
+# == What's Here
+#
+# Each of these methods executes a given command in a new process or subshell,
+# or multiple commands in new processes and/or subshells:
+#
+# - Each of these methods executes a single command in a process or subshell,
+# accepts a string for input to $stdin,
+# and returns string output from $stdout, $stderr, or both:
+#
+# - Open3.capture2: Executes the command;
+# returns the string from $stdout.
+# - Open3.capture2e: Executes the command;
+# returns the string from merged $stdout and $stderr.
+# - Open3.capture3: Executes the command;
+# returns strings from $stdout and $stderr.
+#
+# - Each of these methods executes a single command in a process or subshell,
+# and returns pipes for $stdin, $stdout, and/or $stderr:
+#
+# - Open3.popen2: Executes the command;
+# returns pipes for $stdin and $stdout.
+# - Open3.popen2e: Executes the command;
+# returns pipes for $stdin and merged $stdout and $stderr.
+# - Open3.popen3: Executes the command;
+# returns pipes for $stdin, $stdout, and $stderr.
+#
+# - Each of these methods executes one or more commands in processes and/or subshells,
+# returns pipes for the first $stdin, the last $stdout, or both:
+#
+# - Open3.pipeline_r: Returns a pipe for the last $stdout.
+# - Open3.pipeline_rw: Returns pipes for the first $stdin and the last $stdout.
+# - Open3.pipeline_w: Returns a pipe for the first $stdin.
+# - Open3.pipeline_start: Does not wait for processes to complete.
+# - Open3.pipeline: Waits for processes to complete.
+#
+# Each of the methods above accepts:
+#
+# - An optional hash of environment variable names and values;
+# see {Execution Environment}[rdoc-ref:Process@Execution+Environment].
+# - A required string argument that is a +command_line+ or +exe_path+;
+# see {Argument command_line or exe_path}[rdoc-ref:Process@Argument+command_line+or+exe_path].
+# - An optional hash of execution options;
+# see {Execution Options}[rdoc-ref:Process@Execution+Options].

module Open3

+ # - Creates a child process, by calling Process.spawn with the given arguments.

+ # - Creates thread +wait_thread+ that waits for the child process to exit;

+ #
+ # With no block given, returns the array

+ # If the first argument is a hash, it becomes leading argument +env+

+ #
+ # If the last argument is a hash, it becomes trailing argument +options+
+ # in the call to Process.spawn;
+ # see {Execution Options}[rdoc-ref:Process@Execution+Options].
+ #
+ # The single required argument is one of the following:
+ #
+ # - +command_line+ if it is a string,
+ # and if it begins with a shell reserved word or special built-in,
+ # or if it contains one or more metacharacters.
+ # - +exe_path+ otherwise.
#
- # The parameters env, cmd, and opts are passed to Process.spawn.
- # A commandline string and a list of argument strings can be accepted as follows:
+ # <b>Argument +command_line+</b>
#
- # Open3.popen3("echo abc") {|i, o, e, t| ... }
- # Open3.popen3("echo", "abc") {|i, o, e, t| ... }
- # Open3.popen3(["echo", "argv0"], "abc") {|i, o, e, t| ... }
+ # \String argument +command_line+ is a command line to be passed to a shell;
+ # it must begin with a shell reserved word, begin with a special built-in,
+ # or contain meta characters:
#
- # If the last parameter, opts, is a Hash, it is recognized as an option for Process.spawn.

#
- # Open3.popen3("pwd", :chdir=>"/") {|i,o,e,t|

- # The block form also waits for the process when it returns.
+ # [#<IO:(closed)>, #<IO:(closed)>, #<IO:(closed)>, #<Process::Waiter:0x00007f58d52f28c8 dead>]
#
- # Closing stdin, stdout and stderr does not wait for the process to complete.
+ # The command line may also contain arguments and options for the command:
+ #
+ # Open3.popen3('echo "Foo"') { |i, o, e, t| o.gets }
+ # "Foo\n"
+ #
+ # <b>Argument +exe_path+</b>
+ #
+ # Argument +exe_path+ is one of the following:
+ #
+ # - The string path to an executable to be called.
+ # - A 2-element array containing the path to an executable
+ # and the string to be used as the name of the executing process.
+ #
+ # Example:
#
- # You should be careful to avoid deadlocks.
- # Since pipes are fixed length buffers,
- # Open3.popen3("prog") {|i, o, e, t| o.read } deadlocks if
- # the program generates too much output on stderr.
- # You should read stdout and stderr simultaneously (using threads or IO.select).
- # However, if you don't need stderr output, you can use Open3.popen2.
- # If merged stdout and stderr output is not a problem, you can use Open3.popen2e.
- # If you really need stdout and stderr output as separate strings, you can consider Open3.capture3.
+ # Open3.popen3('/usr/bin/date') { |i, o, e, t| o.gets }
+ # # => "Wed Sep 27 02:56:44 PM CDT 2023\n"
+ #
+ # Ruby invokes the executable directly, with no shell and no shell expansion:
+ #
+ # Open3.popen3('doesnt_exist') { |i, o, e, t| o.gets } # Raises Errno::ENOENT
+ #
+ # If one or more +args+ is given, each is an argument or option
+ # to be passed to the executable:
+ #
+ # Open3.popen3('echo', 'C #') { |i, o, e, t| o.gets }
+ # # => "C #\n"
+ # Open3.popen3('echo', 'hello', 'world') { |i, o, e, t| o.gets }
+ # # => "hello world\n"
+ #
+ # Take care to avoid deadlocks.
+ # Output streams +stdout+ and +stderr+ have fixed-size buffers,
+ # so reading extensively from one but not the other can cause a deadlock
+ # when the unread buffer fills.
+ # To avoid that, +stdout+ and +stderr+ should be read simultaneously
+ # (using threads or IO.select).
