-- --
-- GNAT was originally developed by the GNAT team at New York University. --
-- Extensive contributions were provided by Ada Core Technologies Inc. --
-- --
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Currently this package is implemented on all native GNAT ports. It is not
-- yet implemented for any of the cross-ports (e.g. it is not available for
-- VxWorks or LynxOS).
-- -----------
-- -- Usage --
-- -----------
-- This package provides a set of subprograms similar to what is available
-- with the standard Tcl Expect tool.
-- It allows you to easily spawn and communicate with an external process.
-- You can send commands or inputs to the process, and compare the output
-- with some expected regular expression.
-- Usage example:
-- Non_Blocking_Spawn
-- (Fd, "ftp",
-- (1 => new String' ("machine@domain")));
-- Timeout := 10_000; -- 10 seconds
-- Expect (Fd, Result, Regexp_Array'(+"\(user\)", +"\(passwd\)"),
-- Timeout);
-- case Result is
-- when 1 => Send (Fd, "my_name"); -- matched "user"
-- when 2 => Send (Fd, "my_passwd"); -- matched "passwd"
-- when Expect_Timeout => null; -- timeout
-- when others => null;
-- end case;
-- Close (Fd);
-- You can also combine multiple regular expressions together, and get the
-- specific string matching a parenthesis pair by doing something like this:
-- If you expect either "lang=optional ada" or "lang=ada" from the external
-- process, you can group the two together, which is more efficient, and
-- simply get the name of the language by doing:
-- declare
-- Matched : Match_Array (0 .. 2);
-- begin
-- Expect (Fd, Result, "lang=(optional)? ([a-z]+)", Matched);
-- Put_Line ("Seen: " &
-- Expect_Out (Fd) (Matched (2).First .. Matched (2).Last));
-- end;
-- Alternatively, you might choose to use a lower-level interface to the
-- processes, where you can give your own input and output filters every
-- time characters are read from or written to the process.
-- procedure My_Filter
-- (Descriptor : Process_Descriptor'Class;
-- Str : String;
-- User_Data : System.Address)
-- is
-- begin
-- Put_Line (Str);
-- end;
-- Non_Blocking_Spawn
-- (Fd, "tail",
-- (new String' ("-f"), new String' ("a_file")));
-- Add_Filter (Fd, My_Filter'Access, Output);
-- Expect (Fd, Result, "", 0); -- wait forever
-- The above example should probably be run in a separate task, since it is
-- blocking on the call to Expect.
-- Both examples can be combined, for instance to systematically print the
-- output seen by expect, even though you still want to let Expect do the
-- filtering. You can use the Trace_Filter subprogram for such a filter.
-- If you want to get the output of a simple command, and ignore any previous
-- existing output, it is recommended to do something like:
-- Expect (Fd, Result, ".*", Timeout => 0);
-- -- Empty the buffer, by matching everything (after checking
-- -- if there was any input).
-- Send (Fd, "command");
-- Expect (Fd, Result, ".."); -- match only on the output of command
-- -----------------
-- -- Task Safety --
-- -----------------
-- This package is not task-safe: there should not be concurrent calls to the
-- functions defined in this package. In other words, separate tasks must not
-- access the facilities of this package without synchronization that
-- serializes access.

-- till Expect matches), but this is slower.
--
-- If Err_To_Out is True, then the standard error of the spawned process is
