udisks_spawned_job_new ()

UDisksSpawnedJob *
udisks_spawned_job_new (const gchar *command_line,
                        GString *input_string,
                        uid_t run_as_uid,
                        uid_t run_as_euid,
                        UDisksDaemon *daemon,
                        GCancellable *cancellable);

Creates a new UDisksSpawnedJob instance.

The job is not started automatically! Use udisks_spawned_job_start() to start the job after “spawned-job-completed” or “completed” signals are connected (to get notified when the job is done). This is to prevent a race condition with the spawned process terminating before the signals are connected in which case the signal handlers are never triggered.

udisks_spawned_job_get_command_line ()

const gchar *
udisks_spawned_job_get_command_line (UDisksSpawnedJob *job);

Gets the command line that job was constructed with.

udisks_spawned_job_start ()

void
udisks_spawned_job_start (UDisksSpawnedJob *job);

UDisksSpawnedJob

typedef struct _UDisksSpawnedJob UDisksSpawnedJob;

The UDisksSpawnedJob structure contains only private data and should only be accessed using the provided API.

The “command-line” property

  “command-line”             gchar *

The command-line to run.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct Only

Default value: NULL

The “input-string” property

  “input-string”             AutowipeBuffer *

String that will be written to stdin of the spawned program or NULL to not write anything.

This is passed as autowipe_buffer (rather than G_TYPE_GSTRING) to nuke the contents after usage since the input string may contain key material.

Flags: Write / Construct Only

The “run-as-euid” property

  “run-as-euid”              guint

The effective uid_t to run the program as.

Flags: Write / Construct Only

Default value: 0

The “run-as-uid” property

  “run-as-uid”               guint

The uid_t to run the program as.

Flags: Write / Construct Only

Default value: 0

The “spawned-job-completed” signal

gboolean
user_function (UDisksSpawnedJob *job,
               GError           *error,
               gint              status,
               GString          *standard_output,
               GString          *standard_error,
               gpointer          user_data)

Emitted when the spawned job is complete. If spawning the command failed or if the job was cancelled, error will non-NULL. Otherwise you can use macros such as WIFEXITED() and WEXITSTATUS() on the status integer to obtain more information.

The default implementation simply emits the “completed” signal with success set to TRUE if, and only if, error is NULL, WIFEXITED() evaluates to TRUE and WEXITSTATUS() is zero. Additionally, message on that signal is set to standard_error regards of whether success is TRUE or FALSE.

You can avoid the default implementation by returning TRUE from your signal handler.

This signal is emitted in the

of the thread that job was created in.
