IPC::Pipeline::Composable - compose commands and pipelines
version 0.001
Standard constructor.
- procs - an arrayref of processes you want in this pipeline.
Get the list of processes that make up this pipeline
When the pipeline is running, get the list of process IDs. Please note - they may not all be running. Checking them is your (or another module's) job.
Run the pipeline with the given inputs and outputs
TODO: describe the arguments
Construct a pipeline from a series of commands, placeholders or other pipelines
Arguments represent processes to run, and each can be any one of the following:
-
arrayref - ['sort', '-k2,2', '-g']
-
subref - sub { print map { join '', @$_ } sort { $a->[1] <=> $b->[1] } map { [split] } <> }
-
Object of type IPC::Pipeline::Composable::Process or IPC::Pipeline::Composable
my $pl = ipc_pipeline($obj, &some_sub, @some_array, ...)
Construct a process from a command and a series of arguments or placeholders
Turn a pipeline or process into a process substitution
Construct a placeholder with a name and arguments
TODO: describe arguments
SEE ALSO: the new() method in IPC::Pipeline::Composable::Placeholder
Notes to self:
The desired feature is to have shell-like process-substitution.
The way to do that in the API is to pass a pipeline or command as the argument for a command.
examples:
my $pl = ipc_pipeline(ipc_cmd('gunzip', '-c', ipc_sub('<', 'gzip -c', $0)));
my $pl = ipc_pipeline(ipc_cmd('gunzip', '-c', ipc_sub('<', ipc_cmd('gzip -c', $0))));
Technically, a command should just be a single-command pipeline.
my $pl = ipc_cmd('gunzip', '-c', ipc_sub('<', 'gzip -c', $0));
And of course, placeholders...
my $pl = ipc_cmd('gunzip', '-c', ipc_sub('<', 'gzip -c', ipc_placeholder('file')));
$pl->run(sink => $sink_fh, file => $0);
To get really silly, perhaps this should work:
$pl->run(sink_fh => $sink_fh, file => sub{ open my $f, '<', $0; print lc while <$f>; 1 });
Description:
- put a perl process that reads the current script as lowercase in the file placeholder
- connect the stdout of that perl process to a fifo
- pass the name of the fifo as an argument to gzip -c
- connect the stdout of gzip to a fifo
- pass the name of that fifo as an argument to gunzip -c
- connect the stdout of gunzip to the sink_fh so it will write to it
* the result should be the script, in lowercase.
What should really happen:
- see the ipc_sub when scanning the gunzip command's args
- create a fifo/named pipe (store the path in a hash assocuated to the ipc_sub)
- start the gunzip process with its output connected to $sink_fh, passing the fifo as an argument in place of the ipc_sub
- start the gzip process with its output connected to the fifo for writing
