5 Definitions

Definitions are sorted by export status, category, package, and then by lexicographic order.

5.1 Exported definitions

5.1.1 Special variables

Special Variable: *bourne-compatible-shell*

The path to a Bourne compatible command shell in physical pathname notation.

Package

trivial-shell

Source

definitions.lisp (file)

Special Variable: *shell-search-paths*

Package

trivial-shell

Source

definitions.lisp (file)

5.1.2 Macros

Macro: with-timeout (SECONDS) &body BODY

Execute ‘body‘ for no more than ‘seconds‘ time.

If ‘seconds‘ is exceeded, then a [timeout-error][] will be signaled.

If ‘seconds‘ is nil, then the body will be run normally until it completes or is interrupted.

Package

com.metabang.trivial-timeout

Source

with-timeout.lisp (file)

5.1.3 Functions

Function: exit &optional CODE

Exit the process. CODE is either a numeric exit code, or the special values :SUCCESS or :FAILURE, which maps to the appropriate exit codes for the operating system.

Package

trivial-shell

Source

shell.lisp (file)

Function: get-env-var NAME

Return the value of the environment variable ‘name‘.

Package

trivial-shell

Source

shell.lisp (file)

5.1.4 Generic functions

Generic Function: shell-command COMMAND &key INPUT

Package

trivial-shell

Methods

Method: shell-command COMMAND &key INPUT

Synchronously execute ‘command‘ using a Bourne-compatible shell, returns (values output error-output exit-status).

The ‘command‘ can be a full path to a shell executable binary
or just its name. In the later case, the variable ‘*shell-search-paths*‘ will be used to find the executable.

Depending on the implementation, the variable ‘*bourne-compatible-shell*‘ may be used to find a shell to use in executing ‘command‘.

Source

shell.lisp (file)

Method: shell-command (COMMAND pathname) &key INPUT

Source

shell.lisp (file)

5.1.5 Conditions

Condition: timeout-error ()

An error signaled when the duration specified in the [with-timeout][] is exceeded.

Package

com.metabang.trivial-timeout

Source

with-timeout.lisp (file)

5.2.2 Macros

Macro: with-gensyms SYMS &body BODY

Package

trivial-shell

Source

macros.lisp (file)

Macro: with-input (VAR SOURCE &rest ARGS) &body BODY

Create an input stream from source and bind it to var within the body of the with-input form. The stream will be closed if necessary on exit.

Package

trivial-shell

Source

macros.lisp (file)

Macro: with-output (VAR DESTINATION &rest ARGS) &body BODY

Create an output stream from source and bind it to var within the body of the with-output form. The stream will be closed if necessary on exit.

Package

trivial-shell

Source

macros.lisp (file)

Macro: with-stream-from-specifier (STREAM STREAM-SPECIFIER DIRECTION &rest ARGS) &body BODY

Function: directory-pathname-p PATHNAME

Does ‘pathname‘ syntactically represent a directory?

A directory-pathname is a pathname _without_ a filename. The three ways that the filename components can be missing are for it to be ‘nil‘, ‘:unspecific‘ or the empty string.
