<h2 id="head-29de5042245abf38b78ad6189e060181d4ed060c">Spawn</h2>
<p>
The <tt>spawn</tt> functions provide an alternative to the <tt>fork</tt>/<tt>exec</tt> idiom that is typically used to create a new process. On most platforms, the <tt>spawn</tt> functions are simple wrappers around <tt>fork</tt>/<tt>exec</tt>. However, under Windows, the <tt>spawn</tt> functions are primitive. All <tt>spawn</tt> functions return the process id of the spawned process. They differ in how the executable is found and the environment that it uses.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
<tt>spawn {args, path} </tt>
</p>
</li>
<ul>
starts a new process running the executable specified by <tt>path</tt> with the arguments <tt>args</tt>. Like <tt>Posix.Process.exec</tt>.
</ul>
<li class="gap">
<p>
<tt>spawne {args, env, path} </tt>
</p>
</li>
<ul>
starts a new process running the executable specified by <tt>path</tt> with the arguments <tt>args</tt> and environment <tt>env</tt>. Like <tt>Posix.Process.exece</tt>.
</ul>
<li class="gap">
<p>
<tt>spawnp {args, file} </tt>
</p>
</li>
<ul>
search the <tt>PATH</tt> environment variable for an executable named <tt>file</tt>, and start a new process running that executable with the arguments <tt>args</tt>. Like <tt>Posix.Process.execp</tt>.
</ul>
</ul>
<h2 id="head-6e157c5da4410b7e9de85f5c93026b9176e69064">Create</h2>
<p>
<tt>MLton.Process.create</tt> provides functionality similar to <tt>Unix.executeInEnv</tt>, but provides more control control over the input, output, and error streams. In addition, <tt>create</tt> works on all platforms, including Cygwin and MinGW (Windows) where <tt>Posix.fork</tt> is unavailable. For greatest portability programs should still use the standard <tt>Unix.execute</tt>, <tt>Unix.executeInEnv</tt>, and <tt>OS.Process.system</tt>.
</p>
<p>
The following types and sub-structures are used by the <tt>create</tt> function. They provide static type checking of correct stream usage.
</p>
<h3 id="head-6842c74c4d5122bd28c5c4fc9d30c451e8a95d41">Child</h3>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
<tt>('use, 'dir) Child.t</tt>
</p>
</li>
<ul>
This represents a handle to one of a child's standard streams. The <tt>'dir</tt> is viewed with respect to the parent. Thus a <tt>('a, input) Child.t</tt> handle means that the parent may input the output from the child.
</ul>
<li class="gap">
<p>
<tt>Child.{bin,text}{In,Out} h</tt>
</p>
</li>
<ul>
These functions take a handle and bind it to a stream of the named type. The type system will detect attempts to reverse the direction of a stream or to use the same stream in multiple, incompatible ways.
</ul>
<li class="gap">
<p>
<tt>Child.fd h</tt>
</p>
</li>
<ul>
This function behaves like the other <tt>Child.*</tt> functions; it opens a stream. However, it does not enforce that you read or write from the handle. If you use the descriptor in an inappropriate direction, the behavior is undefined. Furthermore, this function may potentially be unavailable on future MLton host platforms.
</ul>
<li class="gap">
<p>
<tt>Child.remember h</tt>
</p>
</li>
<ul>
This function takes a stream of use <tt>any</tt> and resets the use of the stream so that the stream may be used by <tt>Child.*</tt>. An <tt>any</tt> stream may have had use <tt>none</tt> or <tt>'use</tt> prior to calling <tt>Param.forget</tt>. If the stream was <tt>none</tt> and is used, <tt>MisuseOfForget</tt> is raised.
</ul>
</ul>
<h3 id="head-0f332eeefd007bb0043ccb46738196508c6a602b">Param</h3>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
<tt>('use, 'dir) Param.t</tt>
</p>
</li>
<ul>
This is a handle to an input/output source and will be passed to the created child process. The <tt>'dir</tt> is relative to the child process. Input means that the child process will read from this stream.
</ul>
<li class="gap">
<p>
<tt>Param.child h</tt>
</p>
</li>
<ul>
Connect the stream of the new child process to the stream of a previously created child process. A single child stream should be connected to only one child process or else <tt>DoublyRedirected</tt> will be raised.
</ul>
<li class="gap">
<p>
<tt>Param.fd fd</tt>
</p>
</li>
<ul>
This creates a stream from the provided file descriptor which will be closed when <tt>create</tt> is called. This function may not be available on future MLton host platforms.
</ul>
<li class="gap">
<p>
<tt>Param.forget h</tt>
</p>
</li>
<ul>
This hides the type of the actual parameter as <tt>any</tt>. This is useful if you are implementing an application which conditionally attaches the child process to files or pipes. However, you must ensure that your use after <tt>Child.remember</tt> matches the original type.
</ul>
<li class="gap">
<p>
<tt>Param.file s</tt>
</p>
</li>
<ul>
Open the given file and connect it to the child process. Note that the file will be opened only when <tt>create</tt> is called. So any exceptions will be raised there and not by this function. If used for <tt>input</tt>, the file is opened read-only. If used for <tt>output</tt>, the file is opened read-write.
</ul>
<li class="gap">
<p>
<tt>Param.null</tt>
</p>
</li>
<ul>
In some situations, the child process should have its output discarded. The <tt>null</tt> param when passed as <tt>stdout</tt> or <tt>stderr</tt> does this. When used for <tt>stdin</tt>, the child process will either receive <tt>EOF</tt> or a failure condition if it attempts to read from <tt>stdin</tt>.
</ul>
<li class="gap">
<p>
<tt>Param.pipe</tt>
</p>
</li>
<ul>
This will connect the input/output of the child process to a pipe which the parent process holds. This may later form the input to one of the <tt>Child.*</tt> functions and/or the <tt>Param.child</tt> function.
</ul>
</ul>
<h3 id="head-12f4c13a6a06f999cc56eb966c94f71ef2658a3f">Process</h3>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
<tt>type ('stdin, 'stdout, 'stderr) t</tt>
</p>
</li>
<ul>
represents a handle to a child process. The type arguments capture how the named stream of the child process may be used.
</ul>
<li class="gap">
<p>
<tt>type any</tt>

<li class="gap">
<p>
<tt>exception DoublyRedirected</tt>
</p>

<ul>
starts a child process with the given command-line <tt>args</tt> (excluding the program name). <tt>path</tt> should be an absolute path to the executable run in the new child process; relative paths work, but are less robust. Optionally, the environment may be overridden with <tt>env</tt> where each string element has the form <tt>"key=value"</tt>. The <tt>std*</tt> options must be provided by the <tt>Param.*</tt> functions documented above. <p>

<ul>
gets a handle to the specified stream. These should be used by the <tt>Child.*</tt> functions. Failure to use a stream connected via pipe to a child process may result in runtime dead-lock and elicits a compiler warning.

<li class="gap">
<p>
<tt>kill (proc, sig)</tt>

terminates the child process immediately. The signal may or may not mean anything depending on the host platform. A good value is <tt>Posix.Signal.term</tt>.

<h2 id="head-1bd1007a907ddfb4201460172ceb074df91cb3a0">Important usage notes</h2>
<p>
When building an application with many pipes between child processes, it is important to ensure that there are no cycles in the undirected pipe graph. If this property is not maintained, deadlocks are a very serious potential bug which may only appear under difficult to reproduce conditions.
</p>
<p>
The danger lies in that most operating systems implement pipes with a fixed buffer size. If process A has two output pipes which process B reads, it can happen that process A blocks writing to pipe 2 because it is full while process B blocks reading from pipe 1 because it is empty. This same situation can happen with any undirected cycle formed between processes (vertexes) and pipes (undirected edges) in the graph.
</p>
<p>
It is possible to make this safe using low-level I/O primitives for polling. However, these primitives are not very portable and difficult to use properly. A far better approach is to make sure you never create a cycle in the first place.
</p>
<p>
For these reasons, the <tt>Unix.executeInEnv</tt> is a very dangerous function. Be careful when using it to ensure that the child process only operates on either <tt>stdin</tt> or <tt>stdout</tt>, but not both.
</p>
