Interface Process

kill

• kill(): void

• Kill causes the [Process] to exit immediately. Kill does not wait until the Process has actually exited. This only kills the Process itself, not any other processes it may have started.

  Returns void

release

• release(): void

• Release releases any resources associated with the [Process] p, rendering it unusable in the future. Release only needs to be called if [Process.Wait] is not.

  Returns void

signal

• signal(sig): void

• Signal sends a signal to the [Process]. Sending [Interrupt] on Windows is not implemented.

  Parameters

  • sig: os.Signal

  Returns void

wait

• wait(): ProcessState

• Wait waits for the [Process] to exit, and then returns a ProcessState describing its status and an error, if any. Wait releases any resources associated with the Process. On most operating systems, the Process must be a child of the current process or an error will be returned.

  Returns ProcessState

withHandle

• withHandle(f): void

• WithHandle calls a supplied function f with a valid process handle as an argument. The handle is guaranteed to refer to process p until f returns, even if p terminates. This function cannot be used after [Process.Release] or [Process.Wait].

  If process handles are not supported or a handle is not available, it returns [ErrNoHandle]. Currently, process handles are supported on Linux 5.4 or later (pidfd) and Windows.

  Parameters

  • f: ((handle) => void)

    • • (handle): void

      • Parameters

        • handle: number

        Returns void
