Public Variables and Functions



sh

function
Usage: (sh & args)
Passes the given strings to Runtime.exec() to launch a sub-process.

Options are

:in    may be given followed by a String specifying text to be fed to the 
       sub-process's stdin.  
:out   option may be given followed by :bytes or a String. If a String 
       is given, it will be used as a character encoding name (for 
       example "UTF-8" or "ISO-8859-1") to convert the 
       sub-process's stdout to a String which is returned.
       If :bytes is given, the sub-process's stdout will be stored in 
       a byte array and returned.  Defaults to UTF-8.
:return-map
       when followed by boolean true, sh returns a map of
         :exit => sub-process's exit code
         :out  => sub-process's stdout (as byte[] or String)
         :err  => sub-process's stderr (as byte[] or String)
       when not given or followed by false, sh returns a single
       array or String of the sub-process's stdout followed by its
       stderr
:env   override the process env with a map (or the underlying Java
       String[] if you are a masochist).
:dir   override the process dir with a String or java.io.File.

You can bind :env or :dir for multiple operations using with-sh-env
and with-sh-dir.
