notcurses_fds - dumping file descriptors and subprocesses to planes

|
|
bool follow; // keep reading after hitting end?

|
} ncfdplane_options;

# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
These widgets cause a file descriptor to be read until EOF, and written to a
|
|
scrolling **ncplane**. The reading will take place in a notcurses-managed
|
|
context (the particulars of this context are not defined, and should not be
|
|
depended upon), which will invoke the provided callbacks with the data read.
|
|
Essentially, they are simply portable interfaces to asynchronous reading, with
|
|
**ncsubproc** also providing subprocess management.
|
|
|
|
If **ncsubproc_destroy** is called before the subprocess has exited, it will
|
|
be sent a SIGKILL. If **ncsubproc_destroy** or **ncfdplane_destroy** is called
|
|
while a callback is being invoked, the destroy function will block until the
|
|
callback is done being invoked. If a user callback returns non-0, the calling
|
|
object will destroy itself. If a user callback calls the relevant destroy
|
|
function itself, the thread will exit as if non-0 had been returned, and the
|
|
**ncsubproc**'s resources will at that time be reclaimed.
|
|
|
|
It is essential that the destroy function be called once and only once, whether
|
|
it is from within the thread's context, or external to that context.
|
|
|
|
# NOTES
|
|
|
|
**ncsubproc** makes use of pidfds and **pidfd_send_signal(2)**, and thus makes
|
|
reliable use of signals (it will never target a process other than the true
|
|
subprocess).
