Hi All,
I use "run" a lot.
https://docs.raku.org/routine/run
It looks to me like "proc" is an OOP construction.
Where do I find its declaration so I can figure out
what all its members are? (The above link does not
define it or I am blind.)
So far I know:
$proc.exitcode
$proc.err.slurp(:close)
$proc.out.slurp(:close)
Yours in confusion,
-T
In https://docs.raku.org/routine/run , in the sentence "Runs an
external command without involving a shell and returns a Proc
object.", the word "Proc" is a link to https://docs.raku.org/type/Proc .
That link contains the list of methods:
new
sink
spawn
shell
command
Bool
pid
exitcode
signal
Let's say "bleary-eyed"; kinder than "blind", and much more temporary :^)
I see "exitcode", but I do not see .err or .out.
Time to wash my eyes out?
Found it where you said:
method new(Proc:U:
:$in = '-',
:$out = '-',
:$err = '-',
Bool :$bin = False,
Bool :$chomp = True,
Bool :$merge = False,
Str:D :$enc = 'UTF-8',
Str:D :$nl = "\n",
--> Proc:D)
What is .bin? Binary? Binary what? Is somethings
returing binary?
What is .chomp?
What is $enc? Encrypted? How does that work?
Is .nl New Line? And I presume that is the
returned text? Does it conflict with .bin?
