Detailed Description

IPC process interface for spawning bitcoin processes and serving requests in processes that have been spawned.

There will be different implementations of this interface depending on the platform (e.g. unix, windows).

Member Function Documentation

bind()

virtual int ipc::Process::bind ( const fs::path &  data_dir, const std::string &  exe_name, std::string &  address  )

pure virtual

Create listening socket, bind and canonicalize address, and return socket descriptor.

checkSpawned()

virtual bool ipc::Process::checkSpawned ( int  argc, char *  argv[], int &  fd  )

pure virtual

Parse command line and determine if current process is a spawned child process.

If so, return true and a file descriptor for communicating with the parent process.

connect()

virtual int ipc::Process::connect ( const fs::path &  data_dir, const std::string &  dest_exe_name, std::string &  address  )

pure virtual

Canonicalize and connect to address, returning socket descriptor.

spawn()

virtual int ipc::Process::spawn ( const std::string &  new_exe_name, const fs::path &  argv0_path, int &  pid  )

pure virtual

Spawn process and return socket file descriptor for communicating with it.

waitSpawned()

virtual int ipc::Process::waitSpawned ( int  pid )

pure virtual

Wait for spawned process to exit and return its exit code.
