-pty extension version 0.3 by A.ito
-
-1. Introduction
-
-This extension module adds ruby a functionality to execute an
-arbitrary command through pseudo tty (pty).
-
-2. Install
-
-Follow the instruction below.
-
-(1) Execute
-
- ruby extconf.rb
-
- then Makefile is generated.
-
-(3) Do make; make install.
-
-3. What you can do
-
-This extension module defines a module named PTY, which contains
-following module fungtions:
-
- getpty(command)
- spawn(command)
-
- This function reserves a pty, executes command over the pty
- and returns an array. The return value is an array with three
- elements. The first element in the array is for reading and the
- second for writing. The third element is the process ID of the
- child process. If this function is called with an iterator block,
- the array is passed to the block as block parameters, and the
- function itself returns nil.
-
- When the child process is suspended or finished, an exception is
- raised. If this function is called with an iterator block,
- exception is raised only within the block. Child process
- monitor is terminated on block exit.
-
- protect_signal
- reset_signal
-
- These functions are obsolete in this version of pty.
-
- PTY.open
-
- Allocates a pty (pseudo-terminal).
-
- It returns an array which contains an IO object and a File object.
- The former is the master of the pty.
- The latter is the slave of the pty.
-
- If a block is given, it yields the array instead of return.
- The value of the block is returned.
- master_io and slave_file is closed when return if they are not closed.
-
- PTY.check(pid[, raise=false])
-
- checks the status of the child process specified by pid, and
- returns nil if the process is still alive and active.
- Otherwise, returns Process::Status about the process if raise is
- false, or PTY::ChildExited exception is raised.
