package IPC::Run3;

=head1 NAME

IPC::Run3 - run a subprocess in batch mode (a la system) on Unix, Win32, etc.

=head1 VERSION

version 0.036

=cut

$VERSION = '0.036';

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use IPC::Run3;    # Exports run3() by default

    run3 \@cmd, \$in, \$out, \$err;
    run3 \@cmd, \@in, \&out, \$err;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module allows you to run a subprocess and redirect stdin, stdout,
and/or stderr to files and perl data structures.  It aims to satisfy 99% of the
need for using C<system>, C<qx>, and C<open3> with a simple, extremely Perlish
API and none of the bloat and rarely used features of IPC::Run.

Speed, simplicity, and portability are paramount.  (That's speed of Perl code;
which is often much slower than the kind of buffered I/O that this module uses
to spool input to and output from the child command.) Disk space is not.

=head2 C<< run3(\@cmd, INPUT, OUTPUT, \$err) >>

Note that passing in a reference to C<undef> explicitly redirects the
associated file descriptor for C<STDIN>, C<STDOUT>, or C<STDERR> from or to the
local equivalent of C</dev/null> (this does I<not> pass a closed filehandle).
Passing in C<undef> (or not passing a redirection) allows the child to inherit
the corresponding C<STDIN>, C<STDOUT>, or C<STDERR> from the parent.

Because the redirects come last, this allows C<STDOUT> and C<STDERR> to default
to the parent's by just not specifying them -- a common use case.

B<Note>: This means that:

    run3 \@cmd, undef, \$out;   # Pass on parent's STDIN

B<does not close the child's STDIN>, it passes on the parent's.  Use

    run3 \@cmd, \undef, \$out;  # Close child's STDIN

for that.  It's not ideal, but it does work.

If the exact same value is passed for C<$stdout> and C<$stderr>, then the child
will write both to the same filehandle.  In general, this means that

    run3 \@cmd, \undef, "foo.txt", "foo.txt";
    run3 \@cmd, \undef, \$both, \$both;

will DWYM and pass a single file handle to the child for both C<STDOUT> and
C<STDERR>, collecting all into C<$both>.

C<run3> returns true if the command executes and throws an exception otherwise.
It should leave C<$?> intact for inspection of exit and wait status.

=head1 DEBUGGING

To enable debugging use the IPCRUN3DEBUG environment variable to
a non-zero integer value:

    $ IPCRUN3DEBUG=1 myapp

=head1 PROFILING

To enable profiling, set IPCRUN3PROFILE to a number to enable emitting profile
information to STDERR (1 to get timestamps, 2 to get a summary report at the
END of the program, 3 to get mini reports after each run) or to a filename to
emit raw data to a file for later analysis.

=head1 COMPARISON

Here's how it stacks up to existing APIs:

=over

=item compared to C<system()>, C<qx''>, C<open "...|">, C<open "|...">:

=over

=item + redirects more than one file descriptor

=item + returns TRUE on success, FALSE on failure

=item + throws an error if problems occur in the parent process (or the pre-exec child)

=item + allows a very perlish interface to Perl data structures and subroutines

=item + allows 1 word invocations to avoid the shell easily:

 run3 ["foo"];  # does not invoke shell

=item - does not return the exit code, leaves it in $?

=back

=item compared to C<open2()>, C<open3()>:

=over

=item + No lengthy, error prone polling / select loop needed

=item + Hides OS dependancies

=item + Allows SCALAR, ARRAY, and CODE references to source and sink I/O

=item + I/O parameter order is like open3()  (not like open2()).

=item - Does not allow interaction with the subprocess

=back

=item compared to C<IPC::Run::run()>:

=over

=item + Smaller, lower overhead, simpler, more portable

=item + No select() loop portability issues

=item + Does not fall prey to Perl closure leaks

=item - Does not allow interaction with the subprocess (which
IPC::Run::run() allows by redirecting subroutines).

=item - Lacks many features of IPC::Run::run() (filters, pipes,
redirects, pty support).

=head1 TODO

pty support

=head1 LIMITATIONS

Often uses intermediate files (determined by File::Temp, and thus by the
File::Spec defaults and the TMPDIR env. variable) for speed, portability and
simplicity.

Use extrem caution when using C<run3> in a threaded environment if
concurrent calls of C<run3> are possible. Most likely, I/O from different
invocations will get mixed up. The reason is that in most thread 
implementations all threads in a process share the same STDIN/STDOUT/STDERR.
Known failures are Perl ithreads on Linux and Win32. Note that C<fork>
on Win32 is emulated via Win32 threads and hence I/O mix up is possible
between forked children here (C<run3> is "fork safe" on Unix, though).
