		apr_kill_conditions_e	how
	)

Register a process to be killed when a pool dies.

Parameters

a The pool to use to define the processes lifetime

proc The process to register

how

How to kill the process, one of:

        APR_KILL_NEVER         -- process is never sent any signals
        APR_KILL_ALWAYS        -- process is sent SIGKILL on apr_pool_t cleanup
        APR_KILL_AFTER_TIMEOUT -- SIGTERM, wait 3 seconds, SIGKILL
        APR_JUST_WAIT          -- wait forever for the process to complete
        APR_KILL_ONLY_ONCE     -- send SIGTERM and then wait

◆ apr_proc_create()

apr_status_t apr_proc_create	(	apr_proc_t *	new_proc,
		const char *	progname,
		const char const	args,
		const char const	env,

	)

Create a new process and execute a new program within that process.

Parameters

new_proc	The resulting process handle.
progname	The program to run
args	the arguments to pass to the new program. The first one should be the program name.
env	The new environment table for the new process. This should be a list of NULL-terminated strings. This argument is ignored for APR_PROGRAM_ENV, APR_PROGRAM_PATH, and APR_SHELLCMD_ENV types of commands.
attr	the procattr we should use to determine how to create the new process
pool	The pool to use.

Note: This function returns without waiting for the new process to terminate; use apr_proc_wait for that.

◆ apr_proc_detach()

apr_status_t apr_proc_detach ( int daemonize )

Detach the process from the controlling terminal.

Parameters

daemonize set to non-zero if the process should daemonize and become a background process, else it will stay in the foreground.

◆ apr_proc_fork()

apr_status_t apr_proc_fork	(	apr_proc_t *	proc,
		apr_pool_t *	cont
	)

This is currently the only non-portable call in APR. This executes a standard unix fork.

Parameters

proc	The resulting process handle.
cont	The pool to use.

Remarks: returns APR_INCHILD for the child, and APR_INPARENT for the parent or an error.

◆ apr_proc_kill()

apr_status_t apr_proc_kill	(	apr_proc_t *	proc,
		int	sig
	)

Terminate a process.

Parameters

		int	reason,
		int	status
	)

Notify the maintenance callback of a registered other child process that application has detected an event, such as death.

Parameters

proc	The process to check
reason	The reason code to pass to the maintenance function
status	The status to pass to the maintenance function

Remarks

An example of code using this behavior;

rv = apr_proc_wait_all_procs(&proc, &exitcode, &status, APR_WAIT, p);
if (APR_STATUS_IS_CHILD_DONE(rv)) {
#if APR_HAS_OTHER_CHILD
    if (apr_proc_other_child_alert(&proc, APR_OC_REASON_DEATH, status)
            == APR_SUCCESS) {
        ;  (already handled)
    }
    else
#endif
        [... handling non-otherchild processes death ...]

◆ apr_proc_other_child_refresh()

void apr_proc_other_child_refresh	(	apr_other_child_rec_t *	ocr,
		int	reason
	)

Test one specific other child processes and invoke the maintenance callback with the appropriate reason code, if still running, or the appropriate reason code if the process is no longer healthy.

Parameters

ocr	The registered other child
reason	The reason code (e.g. APR_OC_REASON_RESTART) if still running

◆ apr_proc_other_child_refresh_all()

void apr_proc_other_child_refresh_all ( int reason )

Test all registered other child processes and invoke the maintenance callback with the appropriate reason code, if still running, or the appropriate reason code if the process is no longer healthy.

Parameters

reason The reason code (e.g. APR_OC_REASON_RESTART) to running processes

◆ apr_proc_other_child_register()

void apr_proc_other_child_register	(	apr_proc_t *	proc,
		void()(int reason, void , int status)	maintenance,
		void *	data,
		apr_file_t *	write_fd,
		apr_pool_t *	p
	)

Register an other_child – a child associated to its registered maintence callback. This callback is invoked when the process dies, is disconnected or disappears.

Parameters

proc	The child process to register.
maintenance	maintenance is a function that is invoked with a reason and the data pointer passed here.
data	Opaque context data passed to the maintenance function.
write_fd	This argument is currently unused and should be passed as NULL.
p	The pool to use for allocating memory.

◆ apr_proc_other_child_unregister()

void apr_proc_other_child_unregister ( void * data )

Stop watching the specified other child.

Parameters

data	The data to pass to the maintenance function. This is used to find the process to unregister.

Warning: Since this can be called by a maintenance function while we're scanning the other_children list, all scanners should protect themself by loading ocr->next before calling any maintenance function.

◆ apr_proc_wait()

apr_status_t apr_proc_wait	(	apr_proc_t *	proc,
		int *	exitcode,
		apr_exit_why_e *	exitwhy,
		apr_wait_how_e	waithow
	)

Wait for a child process to die

Parameters

proc	The process handle that corresponds to the desired child process
exitcode	The returned exit status of the child, if a child process dies, or the signal that caused the child to die. On platforms that don't support obtaining this information, the status parameter will be returned as APR_ENOTIMPL.
exitwhy	Why the child died, the bitwise or of: APR_PROC_EXIT -- process terminated normally APR_PROC_SIGNAL -- process was killed by a signal APR_PROC_SIGNAL_CORE -- process was killed by a signal, and generated a core dump.
waithow	How should we wait. One of: APR_WAIT -- block until the child process dies. APR_NOWAIT -- return immediately regardless of if the child is dead or not.

Remarks

The child's status is in the return code to this process. It is one of:

           APR_CHILD_DONE     -- child is no longer running.
           APR_CHILD_NOTDONE  -- child is still running.

◆ apr_proc_wait_all_procs()

apr_status_t apr_proc_wait_all_procs	(	apr_proc_t *	proc,
		int *	exitcode,
		apr_exit_why_e *	exitwhy,
		apr_wait_how_e	waithow,
		apr_pool_t *	p
	)

Wait for any current child process to die and return information about that child.

Parameters

proc	Pointer to NULL on entry, will be filled out with child's information
exitcode	The returned exit status of the child, if a child process dies, or the signal that caused the child to die. On platforms that don't support obtaining this information, the status parameter will be returned as APR_ENOTIMPL.
exitwhy	Why the child died, the bitwise or of: APR_PROC_EXIT -- process terminated normally APR_PROC_SIGNAL -- process was killed by a signal APR_PROC_SIGNAL_CORE -- process was killed by a signal, and generated a core dump.
waithow	How should we wait. One of: APR_WAIT -- block until the child process dies. APR_NOWAIT -- return immediately regardless of if the child is dead or not.
p	Pool to allocate child information out of.

Bug:: Passing proc as a *proc rather than **proc was an odd choice for some platforms... this should be revisited in 1.0

◆ apr_procattr_addrspace_set()

apr_status_t apr_procattr_addrspace_set	(	apr_procattr_t *	attr,
		apr_int32_t	addrspace
	)

Determine if the child should start in its own address space or using the current one from its parent

Parameters

attr	The procattr we care about.
addrspace	Should the child start in its own address space? Default is no on NetWare and yes on other platforms.

◆ apr_procattr_child_err_set()

apr_status_t apr_procattr_child_err_set	(	struct apr_procattr_t *	attr,
		apr_file_t *	child_err,
		apr_file_t *	parent_err
	)

Set the child_err and parent_err values to existing apr_file_t values.

Parameters

attr	The procattr we care about.
child_err	apr_file_t value to use as child_err. Must be a valid file.
parent_err	apr_file_t value to use as parent_err. Must be a valid file.

Remarks: This is NOT a required initializer function. This is useful if you have already opened a pipe (or multiple files) that you wish to use, perhaps persistently across multiple process invocations - such as a log file.

Bug:: Note that calling this function with two NULL files on some platforms creates an APR_FULL_BLOCK pipe, but this behavior is neither portable nor is it supported.

See also: apr_procattr_io_set instead for simple pipes.

◆ apr_procattr_child_errfn_set()

apr_status_t apr_procattr_child_errfn_set	(	apr_procattr_t *	attr,
		apr_child_errfn_t *	errfn
	)

Specify an error function to be called in the child process if APR encounters an error in the child prior to running the specified program.

Parameters

attr	The procattr describing the child process to be created.
errfn	The function to call in the child process.

Remarks: At the present time, it will only be called from apr_proc_create() on platforms where fork() is used. It will never be called on other platforms, on those platforms apr_proc_create() will return the error in the parent process rather than invoke the callback in the now-forked child process.

◆ apr_procattr_child_in_set()

apr_status_t apr_procattr_child_in_set	(	struct apr_procattr_t *	attr,
		apr_file_t *	child_in,
		apr_file_t *	parent_in
	)

Set the child_in and/or parent_in values to existing apr_file_t values.

Parameters

attr	The procattr we care about.
child_in	apr_file_t value to use as child_in. Must be a valid file.
parent_in	apr_file_t value to use as parent_in. Must be a valid file.

Remarks: This is NOT a required initializer function. This is useful if you have already opened a pipe (or multiple files) that you wish to use, perhaps persistently across multiple process invocations - such as a log file. You can save some extra function calls by not creating your own pipe since this creates one in the process space for you.

Bug:: Note that calling this function with two NULL files on some platforms creates an APR_FULL_BLOCK pipe, but this behavior is neither portable nor is it supported.

See also: apr_procattr_io_set instead for simple pipes.

◆ apr_procattr_child_out_set()

apr_status_t apr_procattr_child_out_set	(	struct apr_procattr_t *	attr,
		apr_file_t *	child_out,
		apr_file_t *	parent_out
	)

Set the child_out and parent_out values to existing apr_file_t values.

Parameters

attr	The procattr we care about.
child_out	apr_file_t value to use as child_out. Must be a valid file.
parent_out	apr_file_t value to use as parent_out. Must be a valid file.

Remarks: This is NOT a required initializer function. This is useful if you have already opened a pipe (or multiple files) that you wish to use, perhaps persistently across multiple process invocations - such as a log file.

Bug:: Note that calling this function with two NULL files on some platforms creates an APR_FULL_BLOCK pipe, but this behavior is neither portable nor is it supported.

See also: apr_procattr_io_set instead for simple pipes.

◆ apr_procattr_cmdtype_set()

apr_status_t apr_procattr_cmdtype_set	(	apr_procattr_t *	attr,
		apr_cmdtype_e	cmd
	)

Set what type of command the child process will call.

Parameters

◆ apr_procattr_error_check_set()

apr_status_t apr_procattr_error_check_set	(	apr_procattr_t *	attr,
		apr_int32_t	chk
	)

Specify that apr_proc_create() should do whatever it can to report failures to the caller of apr_proc_create(), rather than find out in the child.

Parameters

attr	The procattr describing the child process to be created.
chk	Flag to indicate whether or not extra work should be done to try to report failures to the caller.

Remarks: This flag only affects apr_proc_create() on platforms where fork() is used. This leads to extra overhead in the calling process, but that may help the application handle such errors more gracefully.

◆ apr_procattr_group_set()

apr_status_t apr_procattr_group_set	(	apr_procattr_t *	attr,
		const char *	groupname
	)

Set the group used for running process

Parameters

attr	The procattr we care about.
groupname	The group name used

◆ apr_procattr_io_set()

apr_status_t apr_procattr_io_set	(	apr_procattr_t *	attr,
		apr_int32_t	in,
		apr_int32_t	out,
		apr_int32_t	err
	)

Determine if any of stdin, stdout, or stderr should be linked to pipes when starting a child process.

Parameters

attr	The procattr we care about.
in	Should stdin be a pipe back to the parent?
out	Should stdout be a pipe back to the parent?
err	Should stderr be a pipe back to the parent?

Note: If APR_NO_PIPE, there will be no special channel, the child inherits the parent's corresponding stdio stream. If APR_NO_FILE is specified, that corresponding stream is closed in the child (and will be INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE when inspected on Win32). This can have ugly side effects, as the next file opened in the child on Unix will fall into the stdio stream fd slot!

◆ apr_procattr_limit_set()

apr_status_t apr_procattr_limit_set	(	apr_procattr_t *	attr,
		apr_int32_t	what,

Set the Resource Utilization limits when starting a new process.

Parameters

attr	The procattr we care about.

		apr_fileperms_t	perms
	)

Register permission set function

Parameters

attr	The procattr we care about.
perms_set_fn	Permission set callback
data	Data to pass to permission callback function
perms	Permissions to set

◆ apr_procattr_user_set()

apr_status_t apr_procattr_user_set	(	apr_procattr_t *	attr,
		const char *	username,
		const char *	password
	)

Set the username used for running process

Parameters

attr	The procattr we care about.
username	The username used
password	User password if needed. Password is needed on WIN32 or any other platform having APR_PROCATTR_USER_SET_REQUIRES_PASSWORD set.

◆ apr_setup_signal_thread()

apr_status_t apr_setup_signal_thread ( void )

Setup the process for a single thread to be used for all signal handling.

Warning: This must be called before any threads are created

◆ apr_signal_thread()

apr_status_t apr_signal_thread ( int(*)(int signum) signal_handler )

Make the current thread listen for signals. This thread will loop forever, calling a provided function whenever it receives a signal. That functions should return 1 if the signal has been handled, 0 otherwise.

Parameters

signal_handler The function to call when a signal is received apr_status_t apr_signal_thread((int)(*signal_handler)(int signum))

Note: Synchronous signals like SIGABRT/SIGSEGV/SIGBUS/... are ignored by apr_signal_thread() and thus can't be waited by this function (they remain handled by the operating system or its native signals interface).

Remarks: In APR version 1.6 and ealier, SIGUSR2 was part of these ignored signals and thus was never passed in to the signal_handler. From APR 1.7 this is no more the case so SIGUSR2 can be handled in signal_handler and acted upon like the other asynchronous signals.

Note: Thread library implementations commonly use a "guard area" after each thread's stack which is not readable or writable such that stack overflows cause a segfault; this consumes e.g. 4K of memory and increases memory management overhead. Setting the guard area size to zero hence trades off reliable behaviour on stack overflow for performance.
