<hr><h2>Class Methods </h2>
<h3><a name ="method-0">launchedTaskWithLaunchPath:arguments:</a></h3>
+ (NSTask*) <b>launchedTaskWithLaunchPath:</b> (NSString*)path <b>arguments:</b> (NSArray*)arguments;<br>
Creates and launches a task, returning an autoreleased task object.
Supplies the path to the executable and an array of argument.
The task inherits the parents environment and I/O.
<hr>
<hr><h2>Instances Methods </h2>
<h3><a name ="method-1">arguments</a></h3>
- (NSArray*) <b>arguments</b>;<br>
Returns the arguments set for the task.
<hr>
<h3><a name ="method-2">currentDirectoryPath</a></h3>
- (NSString*) <b>currentDirectoryPath</b>;<br>
Returns the working directory set for the task.
<hr>
<h3><a name ="method-3">environment</a></h3>
- (NSDictionary*) <b>environment</b>;<br>
Returns the environment set for the task.
<hr>
<h3><a name ="method-4">init</a></h3>
- (id) <b>init</b>;<br>
<hr>
<h3><a name ="method-5">interrupt</a></h3>
<h3><a name ="method-4">interrupt</a></h3>
- (void) <b>interrupt</b>;<br>
Sends an interrupt signal to the receiver and any subtasks.<br>
If the task has not been launched, raises an
NSInvalidArgumentException.<br>
Has no effect on a task that has already terminated.<br>
This is rather like the terminate method, but the child
process may not choose to terminate in response to an interrupt.
<hr>
<h3><a name ="method-6">isRunning</a></h3>
<h3><a name ="method-5">isRunning</a></h3>
- (BOOL) <b>isRunning</b>;<br>
Checks to see if the task is currently running.
<hr>
<h3><a name ="method-7">launch</a></h3>
<h3><a name ="method-6">launch</a></h3>
- (void) <b>launch</b>;<br>
Launches the task.<br>
Raises an NSInvalidArgumentException if the launch path is not
set or if the subtask cannot be started for some reason
(eg. the executable does not exist).
<hr>
<h3><a name ="method-8">launchPath</a></h3>
<h3><a name ="method-7">launchPath</a></h3>
- (NSString*) <b>launchPath</b>;<br>
Returns the launch path set for the task.
<hr>
<h3><a name ="method-9">setArguments:</a></h3>
<h3><a name ="method-8">setArguments:</a></h3>
- (void) <b>setArguments:</b> (NSArray*)arguments;<br>
Sets an array of arguments to be supplied to the task when it
is launched. The default is an empty array. This method cannot
be used after a task is launched ...
it raises an NSInvalidArgumentException.
<hr>
<h3><a name ="method-10">setCurrentDirectoryPath:</a></h3>
<h3><a name ="method-9">setCurrentDirectoryPath:</a></h3>
- (void) <b>setCurrentDirectoryPath:</b> (NSString*)path;<br>
Sets the home directory in which the task is to be run.
The default is the parent processes directory.
This method cannot be used after a task is launched ...
it raises an NSInvalidArgumentException.
<hr>
<h3><a name ="method-11">setEnvironment:</a></h3>
<h3><a name ="method-10">setEnvironment:</a></h3>
- (void) <b>setEnvironment:</b> (NSDictionary*)environmentDictionary;<br>
Sets the environment variables for the task to be run.
The default is the parent processes environment.
This method cannot be used after a task is launched ...
it raises an NSInvalidArgumentException.
<hr>
<h3><a name ="method-12">setLaunchPath:</a></h3>
<h3><a name ="method-11">setLaunchPath:</a></h3>
- (void) <b>setLaunchPath:</b> (NSString*)path;<br>
Sets the path to the executable file to be run.
There is no default for this - you must set the launch path.
This method cannot be used after a task is launched ...
it raises an NSInvalidArgumentException.
<hr>
<h3><a name ="method-13">setStandardError:</a></h3>
<h3><a name ="method-12">setStandardError:</a></h3>
- (void) <b>setStandardError:</b> (id)file;<br>
Sets the standard error stream for the task.<br>
This is normally a writable NSFileHandle object.
If this is an NSPipe, the write end of the pipe is
automatically closed on launching.<br>
The default behavior is to inherit the parent processes
stderr output.<br>
This method cannot be used after a task is launched ...
it raises an NSInvalidArgumentException.
<hr>
<h3><a name ="method-14">setStandardInput:</a></h3>
<h3><a name ="method-13">setStandardInput:</a></h3>
- (void) <b>setStandardInput:</b> (id)file;<br>
Sets the standard input stream for the task.<br>
This is normally a readable NSFileHandle object.
If this is an NSPipe, the read end of the pipe is
automatically closed on launching.<br>
The default behavior is to inherit the parent processes
stdin stream.<br>
This method cannot be used after a task is launched ...
it raises an NSInvalidArgumentException.
<hr>
<h3><a name ="method-15">setStandardOutput:</a></h3>
<h3><a name ="method-14">setStandardOutput:</a></h3>
- (void) <b>setStandardOutput:</b> (id)file;<br>
Sets the standard output stream for the task.<br>
This is normally a writable NSFileHandle object.
If this is an NSPipe, the write end of the pipe is
automatically closed on launching.<br>
The default behavior is to inherit the parent processes
stdout stream.<br>
This method cannot be used after a task is launched ...
it raises an NSInvalidArgumentException.
<hr>
<h3><a name ="method-16">standardError</a></h3>
<h3><a name ="method-15">standardError</a></h3>
- (id) <b>standardError</b>;<br>
Returns the standard error stream for the task - an NSFileHandle
unless an NSPipe was passed to setStandardError:
<hr>
<h3><a name ="method-17">standardInput</a></h3>
<h3><a name ="method-16">standardInput</a></h3>
- (id) <b>standardInput</b>;<br>
Returns the standard input stream for the task - an NSFileHandle
unless an NSPipe was passed to setStandardInput:
<hr>
<h3><a name ="method-18">standardOutput</a></h3>
<h3><a name ="method-17">standardOutput</a></h3>
- (id) <b>standardOutput</b>;<br>
Returns the standard output stream for the task - an NSFileHandle
unless an NSPipe was passed to setStandardOutput:
<hr>
<h3><a name ="method-19">terminate</a></h3>
<h3><a name ="method-18">terminate</a></h3>
- (void) <b>terminate</b>;<br>
Sends a terminate signal to the receiver and any subtasks.<br>
If the task has not been launched, raises an
NSInvalidArgumentException.<br>
Has no effect on a task that has already terminated.<br>
When a task temrinates, either due to this method being called,
or normal termination, an NSTaskDidTerminateNotification is
posted.
<hr>
<h3><a name ="method-20">terminationStatus</a></h3>
<h3><a name ="method-19">terminationStatus</a></h3>
- (int) <b>terminationStatus</b>;<br>
Returns the termination status of the task.<br>
If the task has not completed running, raises an
NSInvalidArgumentException.
<hr>
<h3><a name ="method-20">usePseudoTerminal</a></h3>
- (BOOL) <b>usePseudoTerminal</b>;<br>
Standards: GNUstep NotMacOS-X NotOpenStep<br>
If the system supports it, this method sets the standard
input, output, and error streams to a pseudo-terminal so
that, when launched, the child task will act as if it was
running interactively on a terminal. The file handles
can then be used to communicate with the child.<br>
This method cannot be used after a task is launched ...
it raises an NSInvalidArgumentException.<br>
The standard input, output and error streams cannot be
changed after calling this method.<br>
The method returns YES on success, NO on failure.
<hr>
<h3><a name ="method-21">waitUntilExit</a></h3>
- (void) <b>waitUntilExit</b>;<br>
Suspends the current thread until the task terminates, by
waiting in NSRunLoop (NSDefaultRunLoopMode) for the task
termination.<br>
Returns immediately if the task is not running.
<hr>
