@cindex Goosh module
@cindex process, Operating System
@cindex process chain
@cindex pipeline, process

This is a library for execution of other programs from Guile.  It
also allows communication using pipes (or a pseudo terminal device, but
that's not currently implemented).  This code originates in the 
@code{(goosh)} modules, which itself was part of goonix in one of
Guile's past lives.

The following will hold when starting programs:

@enumerate
@item If the name of the program does not contain a @code{/} then the
directories listed in the current @code{PATH} environment variable are
searched to locate the program.
@item Unlike for the corresponding primitive exec procedures, e.g.,
@code{execlp}, the name of the program can not be set independently of
the path to execute: the zeroth and first members of the argument
vector are combined into one.
@end enumerate

All symbols exported with the prefix @code{os:process:} are there in support 
of macros that use them.  They should be ignored by users of this module.
;;; Code:
!#

(define-module (os process)
  #:use-module (compat guile-2))

(export tail-call-program run run-concurrently run-with-pipe)
(export-syntax run-concurrently+ run+ tail-call-pipeline+
	       tail-call-pipeline)

;; these are exported because they appear in code generated by
;; macros.
(export os:process:pipe-make-redir-commands os:process:pipe-make-commands

(export-syntax os:process:pipe-fork-child)

;; setup file descriptors 0, 1, 2 from the current Scheme ports, if
;; possible.  if some of these ports can not be used, open new
;; descriptors on /dev/null.

(define (stdports->stdio)

  ;; select the three file descriptors to be used as
  ;; standard descriptors 0, 1, 2 for the new process.

  (let* ((ensure-fdes (lambda (port mode)
			(or (false-if-exception (fileno port))
			    (open-fdes *null-device* mode))))

	 (input-fdes (ensure-fdes (current-input-port) O_RDONLY))
	 (output-fdes (ensure-fdes (current-output-port) O_WRONLY))
	 (error-fdes (ensure-fdes (current-error-port) O_WRONLY)))

    ;; copy the three selected descriptors to the standard
    ;; descriptors 0, 1, 2.  note that it's possible that
    ;; any of output-fdes, input-fdes and error-fdes are equal.

    (cond ((not (= input-fdes 0))
	   (if (= output-fdes 0)
	       (set! output-fdes (dup->fdes 0)))
	   (if (= error-fdes 0)
	       (set! error-fdes (dup->fdes 0)))
	   (dup2 input-fdes 0)))

    (cond ((not (= output-fdes 1))
	   (if (= error-fdes 1)
	       (set! error-fdes (dup->fdes 1)))
	   (dup2 output-fdes 1)))

    (dup2 error-fdes 2)))

(define (tail-call-program prog . args)
"Replace the current process image by executing @var{prog} with the
supplied list of arguments, @var{args}.

This procedure will reset the signal handlers and attempt to set up file
descriptors as follows:

@enumerate
@item File descriptor 0 is set from (current-input-port).
@item File descriptor 1 is set from (current-output-port).
@item File descriptor 2 is set from (current-error-port).
@end enumerate

If a port can not be used (e.g., because it's closed or it's a string
port) then the file descriptor is opened on the file specified by
@code{*null-device*} instead.

Note that this procedure does not close any ports or flush output
buffers.  Successfully executing @var{prog} will prevent the normal
flushing of buffers that occurs when Guile terminates.  Doing otherwise
would be incorrect after forking a child process, since the buffers
would be flushed in both parent and child.

Examples:
@example
 (tail-call-program \"cat\" \"/etc/passwd\")
@end example
@example
 (with-input-from-file \"/etc/passwd\"
  (lambda ()
    (tail-call-program \"cat\")))
@end example"

terms are specified, then all ports except @code{current-input-port},

underlying these ports will not be changed.

The value returned in the parent is the pid of the new process.

When the process terminates its exit status can be collected
using the @code{waitpid} procedure.

Keywords can be specified before the connection list:

@code{#:slave} causes the new process to be put into a new session.
If @code{current-input-port} (after redirections) is a tty it will
be assigned as the controlling terminal.  This option is used when
controlling a process via a pty.

@code{#:no-auto-close} prevents the usual closing of ports which
occurs by default.

@code{#:foreground} makes the new process the foreground job of the
controlling terminal, if the current process is using job control.
 (not currently implemented).
The default is to place it into the background

The optional connection list can take several forms:

@code{(port)} usually specifies that a given port not be closed.
However if @code{#:no-auto-close} is present it specifies instead
a port which should be closed.

@code{(port 0)}
specifies that a port be moved to a given file descriptor
 (e.g., 0) in the new process.  The order of the two components
is not significant,
but one must be a number and the other must evaluate to a port.
If the file descriptor is one of the standard set @code{(0, 1, 2)}
then the corresponding standard port (e.g., @code{current-input-port})
will be set to
the specified port.

@example
 (let ((p (open-input-file \"/etc/passwd\")))
