IO::Async::PID(3)

NAME
"IO::Async::PID" - event callback on exit of a child process

SYNOPSIS
   use IO::Async::PID;
   use POSIX qw( WEXITSTATUS );

   use IO::Async::Loop;
   my $loop = IO::Async::Loop->new;

   my $kid = $loop->fork(
      code => sub {
         print "Child sleeping..\n";
         sleep 10;
         print "Child exiting\n";
         return 20;
      },
   );

   print "Child process $kid started\n";

   my $pid = IO::Async::PID->new(
      pid => $kid,

      on_exit => sub {
         my ( $self, $exitcode ) = @_;
         printf "Child process %d exited with status %d\n",
            $self->pid, WEXITSTATUS($exitcode);
      },
   );

   $loop->add( $pid );

   $loop->run;

DESCRIPTION
This subclass of IO::Async::Notifier invokes its callback when a process exits.

For most use cases, a IO::Async::Process object provides more control of setting up the process, connecting filehandles to it, sending data to and receiving data from it.

EVENTS
The following events are invoked, either using subclass methods or CODE references in parameters:

  on_exit $exitcode
Invoked when the watched process exits.

PARAMETERS
The following named parameters may be passed to "new" or "configure":

  pid => INT
The process ID to watch. Must be given before the object has been added to the containing IO::Async::Loop object.

  on_exit => CODE
CODE reference for the "on_exit" event.

Once the "on_exit" continuation has been invoked, the "IO::Async::PID" object is removed from the containing IO::Async::Loop object.

METHODS

  pid
   $process_id = $pid->pid;

Returns the underlying process ID

  kill
   $pid->kill( $signal );

Sends a signal to the process
