/**
Functions for starting and interacting with other processes, and for
working with the current process' execution environment.

Process_handling:
$(UL $(LI
    $(LREF spawnProcess) spawns a new process, optionally assigning it an
    arbitrary set of standard input, output, and error streams.
    The function returns immediately, leaving the child process to execute
    in parallel with its parent.  All other functions in this module that
    spawn processes are built around `spawnProcess`.)
$(LI
    $(LREF wait) makes the parent process wait for a child process to
    terminate.  In general one should always do this, to avoid
    child processes becoming "zombies" when the parent process exits.
    Scope guards are perfect for this – see the $(LREF spawnProcess)
    documentation for examples.  $(LREF tryWait) is similar to `wait`,
    but does not block if the process has not yet terminated.)
$(LI
    $(LREF pipeProcess) also spawns a child process which runs
    in parallel with its parent.  However, instead of taking
    arbitrary streams, it automatically creates a set of
    pipes that allow the parent to communicate with the child
    through the child's standard input, output, and/or error streams.
    This function corresponds roughly to C's `popen` function.)
$(LI
    $(LREF execute) starts a new process and waits for it
    to complete before returning.  Additionally, it captures
    the process' standard output and error streams and returns
    the output of these as a string.)
$(LI
    $(LREF spawnShell), $(LREF pipeShell) and $(LREF executeShell) work like
    `spawnProcess`, `pipeProcess` and `execute`, respectively,
    except that they take a single command string and run it through
    the current user's default command interpreter.
    `executeShell` corresponds roughly to C's `system` function.)
$(LI
    $(LREF kill) attempts to terminate a running process.)
)

The following table compactly summarises the different process creation
functions and how they relate to each other:
$(BOOKTABLE,
    $(TR $(TH )
         $(TH Runs program directly)
         $(TH Runs shell command))
    $(TR $(TD Low-level process creation)
         $(TD $(LREF spawnProcess))
         $(TD $(LREF spawnShell)))
    $(TR $(TD Automatic input/output redirection using pipes)
         $(TD $(LREF pipeProcess))
         $(TD $(LREF pipeShell)))
    $(TR $(TD Execute and wait for completion, collect output)
         $(TD $(LREF execute))
         $(TD $(LREF executeShell)))
)

Other_functionality:
$(UL
$(LI
    $(LREF pipe) is used to create unidirectional pipes.)
$(LI
    $(LREF environment) is an interface through which the current process'
    environment variables can be read and manipulated.)
$(LI
    $(LREF escapeShellCommand) and $(LREF escapeShellFileName) are useful
    for constructing shell command lines in a portable way.)

/**
Spawns a new process, optionally assigning it an arbitrary set of standard
input, output, and error streams.

The function returns immediately, leaving the child process to execute
in parallel with its parent.  It is recommended to always call $(LREF wait)
on the returned $(LREF Pid) unless the process was spawned with
`Config.detached` flag, as detailed in the documentation for `wait`.

Command_line:
There are four overloads of this function.  The first two take an array
of strings, `args`, which should contain the program name as the
zeroth element and any command-line arguments in subsequent elements.
The third and fourth versions are included for convenience, and may be
used when there are no command-line arguments.  They take a single string,
`program`, which specifies the program name.

Unless a directory is specified in `args[0]` or `program`,
`spawnProcess` will search for the program in a platform-dependent
manner.  On POSIX systems, it will look for the executable in the
directories listed in the PATH environment variable, in the order
they are listed.  On Windows, it will search for the executable in
the following sequence:
$(OL
    $(LI The directory from which the application loaded.)
    $(LI The current directory for the parent process.)
    $(LI The 32-bit Windows system directory.)
    $(LI The 16-bit Windows system directory.)
    $(LI The Windows directory.)
    $(LI The directories listed in the PATH environment variable.)
)
---
// Run an executable called "prog" located in the current working
// directory:
auto pid = spawnProcess("./prog");
scope(exit) wait(pid);
// We can do something else while the program runs.  The scope guard
// ensures that the process is waited for at the end of the scope.
...

// Run DMD on the file "myprog.d", specifying a few compiler switches:
auto dmdPid = spawnProcess(["dmd", "-O", "-release", "-inline", "myprog.d" ]);
if (wait(dmdPid) != 0)
    writeln("Compilation failed!");
---

Environment_variables:
By default, the child process inherits the environment of the parent
process, along with any additional variables specified in the `env`
parameter.  If the same variable exists in both the parent's environment
and in `env`, the latter takes precedence.

If the $(LREF Config.newEnv) flag is set in `config`, the child
process will $(I not) inherit the parent's environment.  Its entire
environment will then be determined by `env`.
---
wait(spawnProcess("myapp", ["foo" : "bar"], Config.newEnv));
---

Standard_streams:
The optional arguments `stdin`, `stdout` and `stderr` may
be used to assign arbitrary $(REF File, std,stdio) objects as the standard
input, output and error streams, respectively, of the child process.  The
former must be opened for reading, while the latter two must be opened for
writing.  The default is for the child process to inherit the standard
streams of its parent.
---
// Run DMD on the file myprog.d, logging any error messages to a
// file named errors.log.
auto logFile = File("errors.log", "w");
auto pid = spawnProcess(["dmd", "myprog.d"],
                        std.stdio.stdin,
                        std.stdio.stdout,
                        logFile);
if (wait(pid) != 0)
    writeln("Compilation failed. See errors.log for details.");
---

Note that if you pass a `File` object that is $(I not)
one of the standard input/output/error streams of the parent process,
that stream will by default be $(I closed) in the parent process when
this function returns.  See the $(LREF Config) documentation below for
information about how to disable this behaviour.

Beware of buffering issues when passing `File` objects to
`spawnProcess`.  The child process will inherit the low-level raw
read/write offset associated with the underlying file descriptor, but
it will not be aware of any buffered data.  In cases where this matters
(e.g. when a file should be aligned before being passed on to the
child process), it may be a good idea to use unbuffered streams, or at
least ensure all relevant buffers are flushed.

Params:
args    = An array which contains the program name as the zeroth element
          and any command-line arguments in the following elements.
stdin   = The standard input stream of the child process.
          This can be any $(REF File, std,stdio) that is opened for reading.
          By default the child process inherits the parent's input
          stream.
stdout  = The standard output stream of the child process.
          This can be any $(REF File, std,stdio) that is opened for writing.
          By default the child process inherits the parent's output stream.
stderr  = The standard error stream of the child process.
          This can be any $(REF File, std,stdio) that is opened for writing.
          By default the child process inherits the parent's error stream.
env     = Additional environment variables for the child process.
config  = Flags that control process creation. See $(LREF Config)
          for an overview of available flags.
workDir = The working directory for the new process.
          By default the child process inherits the parent's working
          directory.

Returns:
A $(LREF Pid) object that corresponds to the spawned process.

Throws:
$(LREF ProcessException) on failure to start the process.$(BR)
$(REF StdioException, std,stdio) on failure to pass one of the streams
    to the child process (Windows only).$(BR)
$(REF RangeError, core,exception) if `args` is empty.

and escaping of special characters.
The path to the shell executable defaults to $(LREF nativeShell).

In all other respects this function works just like `spawnProcess`.
Please refer to the $(LREF spawnProcess) documentation for descriptions
of the other function parameters, the return value and any exceptions
that may be thrown.

/**
Waits for the process associated with `pid` to terminate, and returns
its exit status.

In general one should always _wait for child processes to terminate
before exiting the parent process unless the process was spawned as detached
(that was spawned with `Config.detached` flag).
Otherwise, they may become "$(HTTP en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombie_process,zombies)"
– processes that are defunct, yet still occupy a slot in the OS process table.
You should not and must not wait for detached processes, since you don't own them.

If the process has already terminated, this function returns directly.
The exit code is cached, so that if wait() is called multiple times on
the same $(LREF Pid) it will always return the same value.

POSIX_specific:
If the process is terminated by a signal, this function returns a
negative number whose absolute value is the signal number.
Since POSIX restricts normal exit codes to the range 0-255, a
negative return value will always indicate termination by signal.
Signal codes are defined in the `core.sys.posix.signal` module
(which corresponds to the `signal.h` POSIX header).

Throws:
$(LREF ProcessException) on failure or on attempt to wait for detached process.

Example:
See the $(LREF spawnProcess) documentation.

See_also:
$(LREF tryWait), for a non-blocking function.

/**
A non-blocking version of $(LREF wait).

If the process associated with `pid` has already terminated,
`tryWait` has the exact same effect as `wait`.
In this case, it returns a tuple where the `terminated` field
is set to `true` and the `status` field has the same
interpretation as the return value of `wait`.

If the process has $(I not) yet terminated, this function differs
from `wait` in that does not wait for this to happen, but instead
returns immediately.  The `terminated` field of the returned
tuple will then be set to `false`, while the `status` field
will always be 0 (zero).  `wait` or `tryWait` should then be
called again on the same `Pid` at some later time; not only to
get the exit code, but also to avoid the process becoming a "zombie"
when it finally terminates.  (See $(LREF wait) for details).

Returns:
An $(D std.typecons.Tuple!(bool, "terminated", int, "status")).

Throws:
$(LREF ProcessException) on failure or on attempt to wait for detached process.

Example:
---
auto pid = spawnProcess("dmd myapp.d");
scope(exit) wait(pid);
...
auto dmd = tryWait(pid);
if (dmd.terminated)
{
    if (dmd.status == 0) writeln("Compilation succeeded!");
    else writeln("Compilation failed");
}
else writeln("Still compiling...");
...
---
Note that in this example, the first `wait` call will have no
effect if the process has already terminated by the time `tryWait`
is called.  In the opposite case, however, the `scope` statement
ensures that we always wait for the process if it hasn't terminated
by the time we reach the end of the scope.

/**
Attempts to terminate the process associated with `pid`.

The effect of this function, as well as the meaning of `codeOrSignal`,
is highly platform dependent.  Details are given below.  Common to all
platforms is that this function only $(I initiates) termination of the process,
and returns immediately.  It does not wait for the process to end,
nor does it guarantee that the process does in fact get terminated.

Always call $(LREF wait) to wait for a process to complete, even if `kill`
has been called on it.

Windows_specific:
The process will be
$(LINK2 http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms686714%28v=vs.100%29.aspx,
forcefully and abruptly terminated).  If `codeOrSignal` is specified, it
must be a nonnegative number which will be used as the exit code of the process.
If not, the process wil exit with code 1.  Do not use $(D codeOrSignal = 259),
as this is a special value (aka. $(LINK2 http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms683189.aspx,STILL_ACTIVE))
used by Windows to signal that a process has in fact $(I not) terminated yet.
---
auto pid = spawnProcess("some_app");
kill(pid, 10);
assert(wait(pid) == 10);
---

POSIX_specific:
A $(LINK2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_signal,signal) will be sent to
the process, whose value is given by `codeOrSignal`.  Depending on the
signal sent, this may or may not terminate the process.  Symbolic constants
for various $(LINK2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_signal#POSIX_signals,
POSIX signals) are defined in `core.sys.posix.signal`, which corresponds to the
$(LINK2 http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/signal.h.html,
`signal.h` POSIX header).  If `codeOrSignal` is omitted, the
`SIGTERM` signal will be sent.  (This matches the behaviour of the
$(LINK2 http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/kill.html,
`_kill`) shell command.)
---
import core.sys.posix.signal : SIGKILL;
auto pid = spawnProcess("some_app");
kill(pid, SIGKILL);

Throws:
$(LREF ProcessException) on error (e.g. if codeOrSignal is invalid).
    or on attempt to kill detached process.

    outcome, not an error.$(BR)

/**
Starts a new process, creating pipes to redirect its standard
input, output and/or error streams.

`pipeProcess` and `pipeShell` are convenient wrappers around
$(LREF spawnProcess) and $(LREF spawnShell), respectively, and
automate the task of redirecting one or more of the child process'
standard streams through pipes.  Like the functions they wrap,
these functions return immediately, leaving the child process to
execute in parallel with the invoking process.  It is recommended
to always call $(LREF wait) on the returned $(LREF ProcessPipes.pid),
as detailed in the documentation for `wait`.

The `args`/`program`/`command`, `env` and `config`
parameters are forwarded straight to the underlying spawn functions,
and we refer to their documentation for details.

Params:
args      = An array which contains the program name as the zeroth element
            and any command-line arguments in the following elements.
            (See $(LREF spawnProcess) for details.)
program   = The program name, $(I without) command-line arguments.
            (See $(LREF spawnProcess) for details.)
command   = A shell command which is passed verbatim to the command
            interpreter.  (See $(LREF spawnShell) for details.)
redirect  = Flags that determine which streams are redirected, and
            how.  See $(LREF Redirect) for an overview of available
            flags.
env       = Additional environment variables for the child process.
            (See $(LREF spawnProcess) for details.)
config    = Flags that control process creation. See $(LREF Config)
            for an overview of available flags, and note that the
            `retainStd...` flags have no effect in this function.
workDir   = The working directory for the new process.
            By default the child process inherits the parent's working
            directory.
shellPath = The path to the shell to use to run the specified program.
            By default this is $(LREF nativeShell).

Returns:
A $(LREF ProcessPipes) object which contains $(REF File, std,stdio)
handles that communicate with the redirected streams of the child
process, along with a $(LREF Pid) object that corresponds to the
spawned process.

Throws:
$(LREF ProcessException) on failure to start the process.$(BR)
$(REF StdioException, std,stdio) on failure to redirect any of the streams.$(BR)

Example:
---
// my_application writes to stdout and might write to stderr
auto pipes = pipeProcess("my_application", Redirect.stdout | Redirect.stderr);
scope(exit) wait(pipes.pid);

// Store lines of output.
string[] output;
foreach (line; pipes.stdout.byLine) output ~= line.idup;

// Store lines of errors.
string[] errors;
foreach (line; pipes.stderr.byLine) errors ~= line.idup;


// sendmail expects to read from stdin
pipes = pipeProcess(["/usr/bin/sendmail", "-t"], Redirect.stdin);
pipes.stdin.writeln("To: you");
pipes.stdin.writeln("From: me");
pipes.stdin.writeln("Subject: dlang");
pipes.stdin.writeln("");
pipes.stdin.writeln(message);

// a single period tells sendmail we are finished
pipes.stdin.writeln(".");

// but at this point sendmail might not see it, we need to flush
pipes.stdin.flush();

// sendmail happens to exit on ".", but some you have to close the file:
pipes.stdin.close();

// otherwise this wait will wait forever
wait(pipes.pid);

    Command line arguments exist in three forms:
    1) string or char* array, as received by main.
       Also used internally on POSIX systems.
    2) Command line string, as used in Windows'
       CreateProcess and CommandLineToArgvW functions.
       A specific quoting and escaping algorithm is used
       to distinguish individual arguments.
    3) Shell command string, as written at a shell prompt
       or passed to cmd /C - this one may contain shell
       control characters, e.g. > or | for redirection /
       piping - thus, yet another layer of escaping is
       used to distinguish them from program arguments.

    Except for escapeWindowsArgument, the intermediary
    format (2) is hidden away from the user in this module.

    /**
    Replaces the current process by executing a command, `pathname`, with
    the arguments in `argv`.

    $(BLUE This function is Posix-Only.)

    Typically, the first element of `argv` is
    the command being executed, i.e. $(D argv[0] == pathname). The 'p'
    versions of `exec` search the PATH environment variable for $(D
    pathname). The 'e' versions additionally take the new process'
    environment variables as an array of strings of the form key=value.

    Does not return on success (the current process will have been
    replaced). Returns -1 on failure with no indication of the
    underlying error.

    Windows_specific:
    These functions are only supported on POSIX platforms, as the Windows
    operating systems do not provide the ability to overwrite the current
    process image with another. In single-threaded programs it is possible
    to approximate the effect of `execv*` by using $(LREF spawnProcess)
    and terminating the current process once the child process has returned.
    For example:
    ---
    auto commandLine = [ "program", "arg1", "arg2" ];
    version (Posix)
    {
        execv(commandLine[0], commandLine);
        throw new Exception("Failed to execute program");
    }
    else version (Windows)
    {
        import core.stdc.stdlib : _Exit;
        _Exit(wait(spawnProcess(commandLine)));
    }
    ---
    This is, however, NOT equivalent to POSIX' `execv*`.  For one thing, the
    executed program is started as a separate process, with all this entails.
    Secondly, in a multithreaded program, other threads will continue to do
    work while the current thread is waiting for the child process to complete.

    A better option may sometimes be to terminate the current program immediately
    after spawning the child process.  This is the behaviour exhibited by the
    $(LINK2 http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/431x4c1w.aspx,`__exec`)
    functions in Microsoft's C runtime library, and it is how D's now-deprecated
    Windows `execv*` functions work. Example:
    ---
    auto commandLine = [ "program", "arg1", "arg2" ];
    version (Posix)
    {
        execv(commandLine[0], commandLine);
        throw new Exception("Failed to execute program");
    }
    else version (Windows)
    {
        spawnProcess(commandLine);
        import core.stdc.stdlib : _exit;
        _exit(0);
    }
