NAME

6       dbsubprocess - invoke a subprocess as a Fsdb filter object
7

SYNOPSIS

9           dbsubprocess [--] program [arguments...]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Run PROGRAM as a process, with optional ARGUMENTS as program arguments,
13       feeding its standard input and standard output as fsdb streams.  A "--"
14       can separate arguments to dbsubprocess from the program and its
15       arguments.
16
17       As with similar tools, like open2, the caller is expected to take care
18       that the subprocess does not deadlock.
19
20       This program is primarily for internal use by dbmapreduce.
21
22       Like dbpipeline, dbsubprocess program does have a Unix command; instead
23       it is used only from within Perl.
24

OPTIONS

26       -w or --warnings
27           Enable warnings in user supplied code.  (Default to include
28           warnings.)
29
30       -E or --endsub SUB
31           Call Perl SUB when the subprocess terminates.  The sub runs in the
32           parent and is a Fred ending sub, see Fsdb::Support::Freds.
33
34       and the standard fsdb options:
35
36       -d  Enable debugging output.
37
38       -i or --input InputSource
39           Read from InputSource, typically a file, or - for standard input,
40           or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO objects.  (For this case, it
41           cannot be Fsdb::BoundedQueue).
42
43       -o or --output OutputDestination
44           Write to OutputDestination, typically a file, or - for standard
45           output, or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or
46           Fsdb::BoundedQueue objects.
47
48       --autorun or --noautorun
49           By default, programs process automatically, but Fsdb::Filter
50           objects in Perl do not run until you invoke the run() method.  The
51           "--(no)autorun" option controls that behavior within Perl.
52
53       --help
54           Show help.
55
56       --man
57           Show full manual.

62               a       1       80
63               b       2       70

67               f       6       90
68
69   Command:
70       the following perl code:
71
72           use Fsdb::Filter::dbsubprocess;
73           my $f = new Fsdb::Filter::dbsubprocess(qw(cat));
74           $f->setup_run_finish;
75           exit 0;
76
77   Output:
78               #fsdb name id test1
79               a       1       80
80               b       2       70
81               c       3       65

83               e       5       70
84               f       6       90
85               #   | dbsubprocess cat
