It is considered safer in * that no shell needs to be spawned for simple commands, and the environment * passed to the execve()'d program is essentially empty. * * This code is based on popen.c, which in turn was taken from * "Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment" by W. Richard Stevens. * * Care has been taken to make sure the functions are async-safe. The exception * is runcmd_init() which multithreaded applications or plugins must call in a * non-reentrant manner before calling any other runcmd function. * * @note This is inherited from the nagiosplugins project, although * it might need refactoring for performance later. * @{ */ /** Return code bitflags for runcmd_cmd2strv() */ #define RUNCMD_HAS_REDIR (1 << 0) /**< I/O redirection */ #define RUNCMD_HAS_SUBCOMMAND (1 << 1) /**< subcommands present */ #define RUNCMD_HAS_PAREN (1 << 2) /**< parentheses present in command */ #define RUNCMD_HAS_JOBCONTROL (1 << 3) /**< job control stuff present */ #define RUNCMD_HAS_UBSQ (1 << 4) /**< unbalanced single quotes */ #define RUNCMD_HAS_UBDQ (1 << 5) /**< unbalanced double quotes */ #define RUNCMD_HAS_WILDCARD (1 << 6) /**< wildcards present */ #define RUNCMD_HAS_SHVAR (1 << 7) /**< shell variables present */ #define RUNCMD_EFD (-1) /**< Failed to pipe() or open() */ #define RUNCMD_EALLOC (-2) /**< Failed to alloc */ #define RUNCMD_ECMD (-3) /**< Bad command */ #define RUNCMD_EFORK (-4) /**< Failed to fork() */ #define RUNCMD_EINVAL (-5) /**< Invalid parameters */ #define RUNCMD_EWAIT (-6) /**< Failed to wait() */ /** * Initialize the runcmd library. * * Only multi-threaded programs that might launch the first external * program from multiple threads simultaneously need to bother with * this, and they must ensure this is called at least once in a non-reentrant * manner before calling any other runcmd function. */ extern void runcmd_init(void); /** * Return pid of a command with a specific file descriptor * @param[in] fd stdout filedescriptor of the child to get pid from * @return pid of the child, or 0 on errors */ extern pid_t runcmd_pid(int fd); /** * Return explanation of which system call or operation failed * @param code Error code returned by a library function * @return A non-free()'able string explaining where the error occurred */ extern const char *runcmd_strerror(int code); /** * Start a command from a command string * @param[in] cmd The command to launch * @param[out] pfd Child's stdout filedescriptor * @param[out] pfderr Child's stderr filedescriptor * @param[in] env Currently ignored for portability * @param[in] iobreg The callback function to register the iobrokers for the read ends of the pipe * @param[in] iobregarg The "arg" value to pass to iobroker_register() */ extern int runcmd_open(const char *cmd, int *pfd, int *pfderr, char **env, void (*iobreg)(int, int, void *), void *iobregarg); /** * Close a command and return its exit status * @note Don't use this.
