interface documentation

A process transport.

Method closeChildFD Close a file descriptor which is connected to the child process, identified by its FD in the child process.
Method closeStderr Close stderr.
Method closeStdin Close stdin after all data has been written out.
Method closeStdout Close stdout.
Method loseConnection Close stdin, stderr and stdout.
Method signalProcess Send a signal to the process.
Method writeToChild Similar to ITransport.write but also allows the file descriptor in the child process which will receive the bytes to be specified.
Attribute pid From before IProcessProtocol.makeConnection is called to before IProcessProtocol.processEnded is called, pid is an int giving the platform process ID of this process. pid is None at all other times.

Inherited from ITransport:

Method getHost Similar to getPeer, but returns an address describing this side of the connection.
Method getPeer Get the remote address of this connection.
Method write Write some data to the physical connection, in sequence, in a non-blocking fashion.
Method writeSequence Write an iterable of byte strings to the physical connection.
def closeChildFD(descriptor: int): (source)

Close a file descriptor which is connected to the child process, identified by its FD in the child process.

def closeStderr(): (source)

Close stderr.

def closeStdin(): (source)

Close stdin after all data has been written out.

def closeStdout(): (source)

Close stdout.

def loseConnection(): (source)

Close stdin, stderr and stdout.

def signalProcess(signalID: Union[str, int]): (source)

Send a signal to the process.

Parameters
signalID:Union[str, int]

can be

  • one of "KILL", "TERM", or "INT". These will be implemented in a cross-platform manner, and so should be used if possible.
  • an integer, where it represents a POSIX signal ID.
Raises
twisted.internet.error.ProcessExitedAlreadyIf the process has already exited.
OSErrorIf the os.kill call fails with an errno different from ESRCH.
def writeToChild(childFD: int, data: bytes): (source)

Similar to ITransport.write but also allows the file descriptor in the child process which will receive the bytes to be specified.

Parameters
childFD:intThe file descriptor to which to write.
data:bytesThe bytes to write.
Raises
KeyErrorIf childFD is not a file descriptor that was mapped in the child when IReactorProcess.spawnProcess was used to create it.

From before IProcessProtocol.makeConnection is called to before IProcessProtocol.processEnded is called, pid is an int giving the platform process ID of this process. pid is None at all other times.
