=head1 NAME

Lintian::Command::Simple - Run commands without pipes

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Lintian::Command::Simple qw(background rundir);

    Lintian::Command::Simple::rundir ('./some-dir/', 'echo', 'hello world');

    # Start a command in the background:
    Lintian::Command::Simple::background('sleep', 10);
    print wait() > 0 ? 'success' : 'failure';


=head1 DESCRIPTION

Lintian::Command::Simple allows running commands with the capability of
running them "in the background" (asynchronously.)

Pipes are not handled at all, except for those handled internally by
the shell. See 'perldoc -f exec's note about shell metacharacters.
If you want to pipe to/from Perl, look at Lintian::Command instead.

=item rundir(dir, command, argument  [, ...])

Executes the given C<command> with the given arguments and in C<dir>
returns the status code as one would see it from a shell script.

Being fair, the only advantage of this function over the
CORE::system() function is the way the return status is reported
and the chdir support.

=cut

sub rundir {
    my $pid;
    my $res;

    $pid = fork();
    if (not defined($pid)) {
        # failed
        $res = -1;
    } elsif ($pid > 0) {
        # parent
        waitpid($pid, 0);
        $res = $? >> 8;
    } else {
        # child
        my $dir = shift;
        close(STDIN);
        open(STDIN, '<', '/dev/null');
        chdir($dir);
        CORE::exec @_ or die("Failed to exec '$_[0]': $!\n");
    }

    return $res;
}

=item background(command, argument  [, ...])

Executes the given C<command> with the given arguments asynchronously
and returns the process id of the child process.

A return value of -1 indicates an error. This can either be a problem
when calling CORE::fork() or when trying to run another command before
calling wait() to reap the previous command.

=cut

sub background {
    my $pid = fork();

    if (not defined($pid)) {
        # failed
        return -1;
    } elsif ($pid > 0) {
        # parent
        return $pid;
    } else {
        # child
        close(STDIN);
        open(STDIN, '<', '/dev/null');

        CORE::exec @_ or die("Failed to exec '$_[0]': $!\n");
    }
}

=item wait_any (hashref[, nohang])

When starting multiple processes asynchronously, it is common to wait
until the first is done. While the CORE::wait() function is usually
used for that very purpose, it does not provide the desired results
when the processes were started via the OO interface.

To help with this task, wait_any() can take a hash ref where the key
of each entry is the pid of that command.  There are no requirements
for the value (which can be used for any application specific
purpose).

Under this mode, wait_any() waits until any child process is done.
The key (and value) associated the pid of the reaped child will then
be removed from the hashref.  The exitcode of the child is available
via C<$?> as usual.

The results and return value are undefined when under this mode
wait_any() "accidentally" reaps a process not listed in the hashref.

The return value in scalar context is value associated with the pid of
the reaped processed.  In list context, the pid and value are returned
as a pair.

Whenever waitpid() would return -1, wait_any() returns undef or a null
value so that it is safe to:

    while($cmd = wait_any(\%hash)) { something; }

The same is true whenever the hash reference points to an empty hash.

If C<nohang> is also given, wait_any will attempt to reap any child
process non-blockingly.  If no child can be reaped, it will
immediately return (like there were no more processes left) instead of
waiting.

=cut

sub wait_any {
    my ($jobs, $nohang) = @_;
    my $reaped_pid;
    my $extra;

    $nohang = WNOHANG if $nohang;
    $nohang //= 0;

    return unless scalar keys %$jobs;

    $reaped_pid = waitpid(-1, $nohang);

    if ($reaped_pid == -1 or ($nohang and $reaped_pid == 0)) {
        return;
    }

    # Did we reap some other pid?
    return unless exists $jobs->{$reaped_pid};

    $extra = delete $jobs->{$reaped_pid};
    return ($reaped_pid, $extra) if wantarray;
    return $extra;
}

=item kill_all(hashref[, signal])

In a similar way to wait_any(), it is possible to pass a hash
reference to kill_all().  It will then kill all of the processes
(default signal being "TERM") followed by a reaping of the processes.
All reaped processes (and their values) will be removed from the set.

Any entries remaining in the hashref are processes that did not
terminate (or did not terminate yet).

=cut

sub kill_all {
    my ($jobs, $signal) = @_;
    my $count = 0;
    my @jobs;

    $signal //= 'TERM';

    foreach my $pid (keys %$jobs) {
        push @jobs, $pid if kill $signal, $pid;
    }

    foreach my $pid (@jobs) {
        if (waitpid($pid, 0) == $pid) {
            $count++;
            delete $jobs->{$pid};
        }
    }

    return scalar @jobs;
}

1;

=head1 TODO

Provide the necessary methods to modify the environment variables of
the to-be-executed commands.  This would let us drop C<system_env> (from
Lintian::Util) and make C<run> more useful.

=head1 NOTES

Unless specified by prefixing the package name, every reference to a
function/method in this documentation refers to the functions/methods
provided by this package itself.

=head1 CAVEATS

Combining asynchronous jobs (e.g. via Lintian::Command) and calls to
wait_any() can lead to unexpected results.
