# IPC-Pipeline-Composable **Repository Path**: mirrors_shlomif/IPC-Pipeline-Composable ## Basic Information - **Project Name**: IPC-Pipeline-Composable - **Description**: Compose together commands and processes to form pipelines - **Primary Language**: Unknown - **License**: Not specified - **Default Branch**: master - **Homepage**: None - **GVP Project**: No ## Statistics - **Stars**: 0 - **Forks**: 0 - **Created**: 2020-09-25 - **Last Updated**: 2025-09-06 ## Categories & Tags **Categories**: Uncategorized **Tags**: None ## README # NAME IPC::Pipeline::Composable - compose commands and pipelines # VERSION version 0.001 # METHODS ## new Standard constructor. - procs - an arrayref of processes you want in this pipeline. ## procs Get the list of processes that make up this pipeline ## pids When the pipeline is running, get the list of process IDs. Please note - they may not all be running. Checking them is your (or another module's) job. ## run Run the pipeline with the given inputs and outputs TODO: describe the arguments Construct a pipeline from a series of commands, placeholders or other pipelines Arguments represent processes to run, and each can be any one of the following: - arrayref - ['sort', '-k2,2', '-g'] - subref - sub { print map { join '', @$_ } sort { $a->[1] <=> $b->[1] } map { [split] } <> } - Object of type IPC::Pipeline::Composable::Process or IPC::Pipeline::Composable my $pl = ipc_pipeline($obj, &some_sub, \@some_array, ...) Construct a process from a command and a series of arguments or placeholders Turn a pipeline or process into a process substitution Construct a placeholder with a name and arguments TODO: describe arguments SEE ALSO: the new() method in [IPC::Pipeline::Composable::Placeholder](http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?IPC::Pipeline::Composable::Placeholder) Notes to self: The desired feature is to have shell-like process-substitution. The way to do that in the API is to pass a pipeline or command as the argument for a command. examples: my $pl = ipc_pipeline(ipc_cmd('gunzip', '-c', ipc_sub('<', 'gzip -c', $0))); my $pl = ipc_pipeline(ipc_cmd('gunzip', '-c', ipc_sub('<', ipc_cmd('gzip -c', $0)))); Technically, a command should just be a single-command pipeline. my $pl = ipc_cmd('gunzip', '-c', ipc_sub('<', 'gzip -c', $0)); And of course, placeholders... my $pl = ipc_cmd('gunzip', '-c', ipc_sub('<', 'gzip -c', ipc_placeholder('file'))); $pl->run(sink => $sink_fh, file => $0); To get really silly, perhaps this should work: $pl->run(sink_fh => $sink_fh, file => sub{ open my $f, '<', $0; print lc while <$f>; 1 }); Description: - put a perl process that reads the current script as lowercase in the file placeholder - connect the stdout of that perl process to a fifo - pass the name of the fifo as an argument to gzip -c - connect the stdout of gzip to a fifo - pass the name of that fifo as an argument to gunzip -c - connect the stdout of gunzip to the sink_fh so it will write to it * the result should be the script, in lowercase. What should really happen: - see the ipc_sub when scanning the gunzip command's args - create a fifo/named pipe (store the path in a hash assocuated to the ipc_sub) - start the gunzip process with its output connected to $sink_fh, passing the fifo as an argument in place of the ipc_sub - start the gzip process with its output connected to the fifo for writing =end notes # AUTHOR Stephen R.
