ipcCloseProcess

ipcCloseProcess( 
o_childId 
) 
=> t / nil

Description

Closes the input channel of the child process.

This is the equivalent of a Control-d sent down the input channel of the Unix child process. Some commands will wait for the input channel to be closed before they complete, so this function allows for that to happen programmatically.

Arguments

o_childId

Child process handle.

Value Returned

t	The child process is active.
nil	The child process is expired.

Examples

      cid = ipcBeginProcess("wc")
ipc:3
      ipcWriteProcess(cid "line 1\n")
t
      ipcWriteProcess(cid "line 2\n")
t
      ipcCloseProcess(cid)
t
      ipcReadProcess(cid)
"   2    4    14\n"
