37 /**
38  * This class is used to create operating system processes.
39  *
40  * <p>Each {@code ProcessBuilder} instance manages a collection
41  * of process attributes.  The {@link #start()} method creates a new
42  * {@link Process} instance with those attributes.  The {@link
43  * #start()} method can be invoked repeatedly from the same instance
44  * to create new subprocesses with identical or related attributes.
45  *
46  * <p>Each process builder manages these process attributes:
47  *
48  * <ul>
49  *
50  * <li>a <i>command</i>, a list of strings which signifies the
51  * external program file to be invoked and its arguments, if any.
52  * Which string lists represent a valid operating system command is
53  * system-dependent.  For example, it is common for each conceptual
54  * argument to be an element in this list, but there are operating
55  * systems where programs are expected to tokenize command line
56  * strings themselves - on such a system a Java implementation might
57  * require commands to contain exactly two elements.
58  *
59  * <li>an <i>environment</i>, which is a system-dependent mapping from
60  * <i>variables</i> to <i>values</i>.  The initial value is a copy of
61  * the environment of the current process (see {@link System#getenv()}).
62  *
63  * <li>a <i>working directory</i>.  The default value is the current
64  * working directory of the current process, usually the directory
65  * named by the system property {@code user.dir}.
66  *
67  * <li><a name="redirect-input">a source of <i>standard input</i></a>.
68  * By default, the subprocess reads input from a pipe.  Java code
69  * can access this pipe via the output stream returned by
70  * {@link Process#getOutputStream()}.  However, standard input may
71  * be redirected to another source using
72  * {@link #redirectInput(Redirect) redirectInput}.
73  * In this case, {@link Process#getOutputStream()} will return a
74  * <i>null output stream</i>, for which:
75  *
76  * <ul>
77  * <li>the {@link OutputStream#write(int) write} methods always
78  * throw {@code IOException}
79  * <li>the {@link OutputStream#close() close} method does nothing
80  * </ul>
81  *
82  * <li><a name="redirect-output">a destination for <i>standard output</i>
83  * and <i>standard error</i></a>.  By default, the subprocess writes standard
84  * output and standard error to pipes.  Java code can access these pipes
85  * via the input streams returned by {@link Process#getInputStream()} and
86  * {@link Process#getErrorStream()}.  However, standard output and
87  * standard error may be redirected to other destinations using
88  * {@link #redirectOutput(Redirect) redirectOutput} and
89  * {@link #redirectError(Redirect) redirectError}.
90  * In this case, {@link Process#getInputStream()} and/or
91  * {@link Process#getErrorStream()} will return a <i>null input
92  * stream</i>, for which:
93  *
94  * <ul>
95  * <li>the {@link InputStream#read() read} methods always return
96  * {@code -1}
97  * <li>the {@link InputStream#available() available} method always returns
98  * {@code 0}
99  * <li>the {@link InputStream#close() close} method does nothing
100  * </ul>
101  *
102  * <li>a <i>redirectErrorStream</i> property.  Initially, this property
103  * is {@code false}, meaning that the standard output and error
104  * output of a subprocess are sent to two separate streams, which can
105  * be accessed using the {@link Process#getInputStream()} and {@link
106  * Process#getErrorStream()} methods.
107  *
108  * <p>If the value is set to {@code true}, then:
109  *
110  * <ul>
111  * <li>standard error is merged with the standard output and always sent
112  * to the same destination (this makes it easier to correlate error
113  * messages with the corresponding output)
114  * <li>the common destination of standard error and standard output can be
115  * redirected using
116  * {@link #redirectOutput(Redirect) redirectOutput}
117  * <li>any redirection set by the
118  * {@link #redirectError(Redirect) redirectError}
119  * method is ignored when creating a subprocess
120  * <li>the stream returned from {@link Process#getErrorStream()} will
121  * always be a <a href="#redirect-output">null input stream</a>
122  * </ul>
123  *
124  * </ul>
125  *
126  * <p>Modifying a process builder's attributes will affect processes
127  * subsequently started by that object's {@link #start()} method, but
128  * will never affect previously started processes or the Java process
129  * itself.
130  *
131  * <p>Most error checking is performed by the {@link #start()} method.
132  * It is possible to modify the state of an object so that {@link
133  * #start()} will fail.  For example, setting the command attribute to
134  * an empty list will not throw an exception unless {@link #start()}
135  * is invoked.
136  *
137  * <p><strong>Note that this class is not synchronized.</strong>
138  * If multiple threads access a {@code ProcessBuilder} instance
139  * concurrently, and at least one of the threads modifies one of the
140  * attributes structurally, it <i>must</i> be synchronized externally.
141  *
142  * <p>Starting a new process which uses the default working directory
143  * and environment is easy:
144  *
145  * <pre> {@code
146  * Process p = new ProcessBuilder("myCommand", "myArg").start();
147  * }</pre>
148  *
149  * <p>Here is an example that starts a process with a modified working
150  * directory and environment, and redirects standard output and error
151  * to be appended to a log file:
152  *
153  * <pre> {@code
154  * ProcessBuilder pb =
155  *   new ProcessBuilder("myCommand", "myArg1", "myArg2");
156  * Map<String, String> env = pb.environment();
157  * env.put("VAR1", "myValue");
158  * env.remove("OTHERVAR");
159  * env.put("VAR2", env.get("VAR1") + "suffix");
160  * pb.directory(new File("myDir"));
161  * File log = new File("log");
162  * pb.redirectErrorStream(true);
163  * pb.redirectOutput(Redirect.appendTo(log));
164  * Process p = pb.start();
165  * assert pb.redirectInput() == Redirect.PIPE;
166  * assert pb.redirectOutput().file() == log;
167  * assert p.getInputStream().read() == -1;
168  * }</pre>
169  *
170  * <p>To start a process with an explicit set of environment
171  * variables, first call {@link java.util.Map#clear() Map.clear()}
172  * before adding environment variables.
