Instance Method Detail

def ==(other : self) #
Description copied from class Reference

Returns `true` if this reference is the same as other. Invokes `same?`.

def abnormal_exit? : Bool #

Returns `true` if the process terminated abnormally.

Equivalent to `ExitReason#abnormal?`

- `#exit_reason` provides more insights into the specific exit reason.
- `#normal_exit?` returns the inverse.

def description #

Returns a textual description of this process status.

    Process::Status.new(0).description # => "Process exited normally"
    process = Process.new("sleep", ["10"])
    process.terminate
    process.wait.description # => "Process received and didn't handle signal TERM (15)"

`ExitReason#description` provides the specific messages for non-signal exits.

def exit_code : Int32 #

Returns the exit code of the process if it exited normally (`#normal_exit?`).

Raises `RuntimeError` if the status describes an abnormal exit.

    Process.run("true").exit_code                                # => 0
    Process.run("exit 123", shell: true).exit_code               # => 123
    Process.new("sleep", ["10"]).tap(&.terminate).wait.exit_code # RuntimeError: Abnormal exit has no exit code

def exit_code? : Int32 | Nil #

Returns the exit code of the process if it exited normally.

Returns `nil` if the status describes an abnormal exit.

    Process.run("true").exit_code?                                # => 0
    Process.run("exit 123", shell: true).exit_code?               # => 123
    Process.new("sleep", ["10"]).tap(&.terminate).wait.exit_code? # => nil

def exit_reason : ExitReason #

Returns a platform-independent reason why the process terminated.

def exit_signal : Signal #

If `#signal_exit?` is `true`, returns the Signal the process received and didn't handle. Will raise if `#signal_exit?` is `false`.

Available only on Unix-like operating systems.

NOTE `#exit_reason` is preferred over this method as a portable alternative which also works on Windows.

def exit_signal? : Signal | Nil #

Returns the exit `Signal` or `nil` if there is none.

On Windows returns always `nil`.

- `#exit_reason` is a portable alternative.

def exit_status : Int32 #

Platform-specific exit status code, which usually contains either the exit code or a termination signal. The other `Process::Status` methods extract the values from `#exit_status`.

DEPRECATED Use `#exit_reason`, `#exit_code`, or `#system_exit_status` instead

def hash(hasher) #
Description copied from class Reference

See `Object#hash(hasher)`

def inspect(io : IO) : Nil #

Prints a textual representation of the process status to io.

The result is similar to `#to_s`, but prefixed by the type name, delimited by square brackets, and constants use full paths: `Process::Status[0]`, `Process::Status[1]`, `Process::Status[Signal::HUP]`, `Process::Status[LibC::STATUS_CONTROL_C_EXIT]`.

def normal_exit? : Bool #

Returns `true` if the process terminated normally.

Equivalent to `ExitReason::Normal`

- `#exit_reason` provides more insights into other exit reasons.
- `#abnormal_exit?` returns the inverse.

def signal_exit? : Bool #

Returns `true` if the process was terminated by a signal.

NOTE In contrast to `WIFSIGNALED` in glibc, the status code `0x7E` (`SIGSTOP`) is considered a signal.

- `#abnormal_exit?` is a more portable alternative.
- `#exit_signal?` provides more information about the signal.

def success? : Bool #

Returns `true` if the process exited normally with an exit code of `0`.

def system_exit_status : UInt32 #

Returns the exit status as indicated by the operating system.

It can encode exit codes and termination signals and is platform-specific.

def to_s(io : IO) : Nil #

Prints a textual representation of the process status to io.

A normal exit status prints the numerical value (`0`, `1` etc) or a named status (e.g. `STATUS_CONTROL_C_EXIT` on Windows). A signal exit status prints the name of the `Signal` member (`HUP`, `INT`, etc.).

def to_s : String #

Returns a textual representation of the process status.

A normal exit status prints the numerical value (`0`, `1` etc) or a named status (e.g. `STATUS_CONTROL_C_EXIT` on Windows). A signal exit status prints the name of the `Signal` member (`HUP`, `INT`, etc.).
