<p>
In this section we will go step by step through the different features of boost.process.
For a full description see the <a class="link" href="../process/reference.html" title="Reference">reference</a>
and the <a class="link" href="concepts.html" title="Concepts">concepts</a> sections.
</p>
<div class="section">
<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
<a name="boost_process.tutorial.starting_a_process"></a><a class="link" href="tutorial.html#boost_process.tutorial.starting_a_process" title="Starting a process">Starting a

</h3></div></div></div>
<p>
We want to start a process, so let's start with a simple process. We will
invoke the gcc compiler to compile a simple program.
</p>
<p>
With the standard library this looks like this.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">int</span> <span class="identifier">result</span> <span class="special">=</span> <a href="http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/program/system" target="_top">std::system</a><span class="special">(</span><span class="string">"g++ main.cpp"</span><span class="special">);</span>
</pre>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Which we can write exactly like this in boost.process.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">namespace</span> <span class="identifier">bp</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">process</span><span class="special">;</span> <span class="comment">//we will assume this for all further examples</span>
<span class="keyword">int</span> <span class="identifier">result</span> <span class="special">=</span> <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/process/system.html" title="Function template system">bp::system</a></code><span class="special">(</span><span class="string">"g++ main.cpp"</span><span class="special">);</span>
</pre>
<p>
</p>
<p>
If a single string (or the explicit form <code class="computeroutput">bp::cmd</code>),
it will be interpreted as a command line. That will cause the execution function
to search the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">PATH</span></code> variable
to find the executable. The alternative is the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">exe</span><span class="special">-</span><span class="identifier">args</span></code> style,
where the first string will be interpreted as a filename (including the path),
and the rest as arguments passed to said function.
</p>
<div class="note"><table border="0" summary="Note">
<tr>
<td rowspan="2" align="center" valign="top" width="25"><img alt="[Note]" src="../../../doc/src/images/note.png"></td>
<th align="left">Note</th>
</tr>
<tr><td align="left" valign="top"><p>
For more details on the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">cmd</span></code>/<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">exe</span><span class="special">-</span><span class="identifier">args</span></code> style look <a class="link" href="design.html#boost_process.design.arg_cmd_style" title="Arguments/Command Style">here</a>
</p></td></tr>
</table></div>
<p>
So as a first step, we'll use the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">exe</span><span class="special">-</span><span class="identifier">args</span></code> style.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">int</span> <span class="identifier">result</span> <span class="special">=</span> <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/process/system.html" title="Function template system">bp::system</a></code><span class="special">(</span><span class="string">"/usr/bin/g++"</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="string">"main.cpp"</span><span class="special">);</span>
</pre>
<p>
</p>
<p>
With that syntax we still have "g++" hard-coded, so let's assume
we get the string from an external source as <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">filesystem</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">path</span></code>,
we can do this too.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">filesystem</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">path</span> <span class="identifier">p</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="string">"/usr/bin/g++"</span><span class="special">;</span> <span class="comment">//or get it from somewhere else.</span>
<span class="keyword">int</span> <span class="identifier">result</span> <span class="special">=</span> <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/process/system.html" title="Function template system">bp::system</a></code><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">p</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="string">"main.cpp"</span><span class="special">);</span>
</pre>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Now we might want to find the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">g</span><span class="special">++</span></code> executable in the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">PATH</span></code>-variable,
as the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">cmd</span></code> syntax would do.
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">Boost</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">process</span></code> provides a function to this end:
<code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/process/search_path.html" title="Function search_path">bp::search_path</a></code>.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">filesystem</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">path</span> <span class="identifier">p</span> <span class="special">=</span> <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/process/search_path.html" title="Function search_path">bp::search_path</a></code><span class="special">(</span><span class="string">"g++"</span><span class="special">);</span> <span class="comment">//or get it from somewhere else.</span>
<span class="keyword">int</span> <span class="identifier">result</span> <span class="special">=</span> <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/process/system.html" title="Function template system">bp::system</a></code><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">p</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="string">"main.cpp"</span><span class="special">);</span>
</pre>
<p>
</p>
<div class="note"><table border="0" summary="Note">
<tr>
<td rowspan="2" align="center" valign="top" width="25"><img alt="[Note]" src="../../../doc/src/images/note.png"></td>
<th align="left">Note</th>
</tr>
<tr><td align="left" valign="top"><p>
<code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/process/search_path.html" title="Function search_path">search_path</a></code>
will search for any executable with that name. This also includes to add
a file suffix on windows, such as <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">exe</span></code> or <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">bat</span></code>.
</p></td></tr>
</table></div>
</div>
<div class="section">
<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
<a name="boost_process.tutorial.launch_mode"></a><a class="link" href="tutorial.html#boost_process.tutorial.launch_mode" title="Launch functions">Launch functions</a>
</h3></div></div></div>
<p>
Given that our example used the <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/process/system.html" title="Function template system">system</a></code>
function, our program will wait until the child process is completed. This
may be unwanted, especially since compiling can take a while.
</p>
<p>
In order to avoid that, boost.process provides several ways to launch a process.
Besides the already mentioned <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/process/system.html" title="Function template system">system</a></code>
function and its asynchronous version <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/process/async_system.html" title="Function template async_system">async_system</a></code>,
we can also use the <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/process/spawn.html" title="Function template spawn">spawn</a></code>
function or the <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/process/child.html" title="Class child">child</a></code>
class.
</p>
<p>
The <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/process/spawn.html" title="Function template spawn">spawn</a></code> function
launches a process and immediately detaches it, so no handle will be returned
and the process will be ignored. This is not what we need for compiling,
but maybe we want to entertain the user, while compiling:
</p>
<p>
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/process/spawn.html" title="Function template spawn">bp::spawn</a></code><span class="special">(</span><code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/process/search_path.html" title="Function search_path">bp::search_path</a></code><span class="special">(</span><span class="string">"chrome"</span><span class="special">),</span> <a href="../www.boost.org" target="_top">"www.boost.org"</a><span class="special">);</span>
</pre>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Now for the more sensible approach for compiling: a non-blocking execution.
To implement that, we directly call the constructor of <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/process/child.html" title="Class child">child</a></code>.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/process/child.html" title="Class child">bp::child</a></code> <span class="identifier">c</span><span class="special">(</span><code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/process/search_path.html" title="Function search_path">bp::search_path</a></code><span class="special">(</span><span class="string">"g++"</span><span class="special">),</span> <span class="string">"main.cpp"</span><span class="special">);</span>
<span class="keyword">while</span> <span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">c</span><span class="special">.</span><code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/process/child.html#idp34700064-bb">running</a></code><span class="special">())</span>
<span class="identifier">do_some_stuff</span><span class="special">();</span>
<span class="identifier">c</span><span class="special">.</span><code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/process/child.html#idp34703360-bb">wait</a></code><span class="special">();</span> <span class="comment">//wait for the process to exit </span>
<span class="keyword">int</span> <span class="identifier">result</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">c</span><span class="special">.</span><code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/process/child.html#idp34697184-bb">exit_code</a></code><span class="special">();</span>
</pre>
<p>
</p>
<p>
So we launch the process, by calling the child constructor. Then we check
and do other things while the process is running and afterwards get the exit
code. The call to <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/process/child.html#idp34703360-bb">wait</a></code>
is necessary, to obtain it and tell the operating system, that no one is
waiting for the process anymore.

Until now, we have assumed that everything works out, but it is not impossible,
that "g++" is not present. That will cause the launch of the process
to fail. The default behaviour of all functions is to throw a <a href="http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/error/system_error" target="_top">std::system_error</a>
on failure. As with many other functions in this library, passing an <a href="http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/error/error_code" target="_top">std::error_code</a>
will change the behaviour, so that instead of throwing an exception, the
error will be assigned to the error code.

<p>
In the examples given above, we have only started a program, but did not
consider the output. The default depends on the system, but usually this
will just write it to the same output as the launching process. If this shall
be guaranteed, the streams can be explicitly forwarded like this.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/process/system.html" title="Function template system">bp::system</a></code><span class="special">(</span><span class="string">"g++ main.cpp"</span><span class="special">,</span> <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/process/std_out.html" title="Global std_out">bp::std_out</a></code> <span class="special">></span> <span class="identifier">stdout</span><span class="special">,</span> <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/process/std_err.html" title="Global std_err">bp::std_err</a></code> <span class="special">></span> <span class="identifier">stderr</span><span class="special">,</span> <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/process/std_in.html" title="Global std_in">bp::std_in</a></code> <span class="special"><</span> <span class="identifier">stdin</span><span class="special">);</span>
</pre>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Now for the first example, we might want to just ignore the output, which
can be done by redirecting it to the null-device. This can be achieved this
way:
</p>
<p>
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/process/system.html" title="Function template system">bp::system</a></code><span class="special">(</span><span class="string">"g++ main.cpp"</span><span class="special">,</span> <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/process/std_out.html" title="Global std_out">bp::std_out</a></code> <span class="special">></span> <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/process/null.html" title="Global null">bp::null</a></code><span class="special">);</span>
</pre>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Alternatively we can also easily redirect the output to a file:
</p>
<p>
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/process/system.html" title="Function template system">bp::system</a></code><span class="special">(</span><span class="string">"g++ main.cpp"</span><span class="special">,</span> <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/process/std_out.html" title="Global std_out">bp::std_out</a></code> <span class="special">></span> <span class="string">"gcc_out.log"</span><span class="special">);</span>
</pre>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Now, let's take a more visual example for reading data. <a href="http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009696699/utilities/nm.html" target="_top">nm</a>
is a tool on posix, which reads the outline, i.e. a list of all entry points,
of a binary. Every entry point will be put into a single line, and we will
use a pipe to read it. At the end an empty line is appended, which we use
as the indication to stop reading. Boost.process provides the pipestream
(<code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../process/reference.html#boost.process.ipstream">ipstream</a></code>, <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../process/reference.html#boost.process.opstream">opstream</a></code>, <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../process/reference.html#boost.process.pstream">pstream</a></code>)
to wrap around the <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../process/reference.html#boost.process.pipe">pipe</a></code>
and provide an implementation of the <a href="http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/io/basic_istream" target="_top">std::istream</a>,
<a href="http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/io/basic_ostream" target="_top">std::ostream</a>

What this does is redirect the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">stdout</span></code>

<p>
Boost.process allows the usage of boost.asio to implement asynchronous I/O.
If you are familiar with <a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/libs/asio/" target="_top">boost.asio</a>
(which we highly recommend), you can use <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/process/async_pipe.html" title="Class async_pipe">async_pipe</a></code>
which is implemented as an I/O-Object and can be used like <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../process/reference.html#boost.process.pipe">pipe</a></code>
as shown above.
</p>
<p>
Now we get back to our compiling example. <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">nm</span></code>
we might analyze it line by line, but the compiler output will just be put
into one large buffer.
</p>
<p>
With <a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/libs/asio/" target="_top">boost.asio</a>
this is what it looks like.

<p>
To make it easier, boost.process provides simpler interface for that, so
that the buffer can be passed directly, provided we also pass a reference

To make it even easier, you can use <a href="http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/thread/future" target="_top">std::future</a>

<p>
When launching several processes, processes can be grouped together. This
will also apply for a child process, that launches other processes, if they
do not modify the group membership. E.g. if you call <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">make</span></code>
which launches other processes and call terminate on it, it will not terminate
all the child processes of the child unless you use a group.
</p>
<p>
The two main reasons to use groups are:
</p>
<div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="1">
<li class="listitem">
Being able to terminate child processes of the child process
</li>
<li class="listitem">
Grouping several processes into one, just so they can be terminated at
once
</li>
</ol></div>
<p>
If we have program like <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">make</span></code>,
which does launch its own child processes, a call of <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/process/child.html#idp34726416-bb">terminate</a></code>
might not suffice. I.e. if we have a makefile launching <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">gcc</span></code>
and use the following code, the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">gcc</span></code>
process will still run afterwards:
</p>
<p>
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/process/child.html" title="Class child">bp::child</a></code> <span class="identifier">c</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="string">"make"</span><span class="special">);</span>

</pre>
<p>
</p>
<p>
So in order to also terminate <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">gcc</span></code>
we can use a group.
</p>
<p>

</pre>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Now given the example, we still call <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/process/child.html#idp34703360-bb">wait</a></code>
to avoid a zombie process. An easier solution for that might be to use <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/process/spawn.html" title="Function template spawn">spawn</a></code>.
</p>
<p>
To put two processes into one group, the following code suffices. Spawn already
launches a detached process (i.e. without a child-handle), but they can be
grouped, to that in the case of a problem, RAII is still a given.

<p>
</p>
<p>
In the example, it will wait for both processes at the end of the function
unless an exception occurs. I.e. if an exception is thrown, the group will
be terminated.
