=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module provides the STDOUT, STDERR and exit codes of asynchronously running processes via events.
It may be used for long running or blocking processes that provide periodic updates on state via STDOUT. Simple IPC is possible via STDIN.

Do not use this module simply to collect the output of another process. For that, it is much simpler to do:

    my ($status, $output) = Wx::ExecuteStdout( 'perl -e"print qq($_\n) for(@INC);"' );


=head2 Wx::Perl::ProcessStream::Process

=head3 Methods

=over 12

=item new

Create a new Wx::Perl::ProcessStream::Process object. You must then use the Run method to execute
your command.

    my $process = Wx::Perl::ProcessStream::Process->new($command, $name, $eventhandler, $readmethod);

    $command      = command text (and parameters) you wish to run. You may also pass a
                    reference to an array containing the command and parameters.
    $name         = an arbitray name for the process.
    $eventhandler = the Wx EventHandler (Wx:Window) that will handle events for this process.
    $readmethod   = 'read' or 'readline' (default = 'readline') an optional param. From Wx version
                    0.75 you can specify the method you wish to use to read the output of an
                    external process.
                    The default depends on your Wx version ( 'getc' < 0.75,'readline' >= 0.75) 
                    read       -- uses the Wx::InputStream->READ method to read bytes. 
                    readline   -- uses the Wx::InputStream->READLINE method to read bytes
                    getc       -- alias for read (getc not actually used)

=item SetMaxLines

Set the maximum number of lines that will be read from a continuous stream before raising a
EVT_WXP_PROCESS_STREAM_MAXLINES event. The default is 1000. A continuous stream will cause
your application to hang.

    $process->SetMaxLines(10);

=item Run

Run the process with the parameters passed to new. On success, returns the process object itself.
This allows you to do: my $process = Wx::Perl::ProcessStream->new($command, $name, $self)->Run;
Returns undef if the process could not be started.

    my $process = Wx::Perl::ProcessStream::Process->new($command, $name, $eventhandler, $readmethod);
    $process->Run;    

=item CloseInput

Close the STDIN stream of the external process. (Some processes may not close until STDIN is closed.)

    $process->CloseInput();

=item GetAppCloseAction

Returns the current process signal that will used on application exit. Either wxpSIGTERM or wxpSIGKILL.
See SetAppCloseAction.

    my $action = $process->GetAppCloseAction();

=item GetExitCode

Returns the process exit code. It is undefined until a wxpEVT_PROCESS_STREAM_EXIT event has been received.

    my $exitcode = $process->GetExitCode();

=item GetProcessName

Returns the process name as passed to the OpenProcess constructor.

    my $processname = $process->GetProcessName();

=item GetStdErrBuffer

This returns a reference to an array containing all the lines sent by the process to stderr.
Calling this clears the process object internal stderr buffer.
(This has no effect on the actual process I/O buffers.)

    my $arryref = $process->GetStdErrBuffer();

=item GetStdOutBuffer

This returns a reference to an array containing all the lines sent by the process to stdout.
Calling this clears the process object internal stdout buffer.
(This has no effect on the actual process I/O buffers.)

    my $arryref = $process->GetStdOutBuffer();

=item GetStdErrBufferLineCount

This returns the number of lines currently in the stderr buffer.

    my $count = $process->GetStdErrBufferLineCount();

=item GetStdOutBufferLineCount

This returns the number of lines currently in the stdout buffer.

    my $count = $process->GetStdOutBufferLineCount();

=item PeekStdErrBuffer

This returns a reference to an array containing all the lines sent by the process to stderr.
To retrieve the buffer and clear it, call GetStdErrBuffer instead.

    my $arryref = $process->PeekStdErrBuffer();

=item PeekStdOutBuffer

This returns a reference to an array containing all the lines sent by the process to stdout.
To retrieve the buffer and clear it, call GetStdOutBuffer instead.

    my $arryref = $process->PeekStdOutBuffer();

=item GetProcessId

Returns the process id assigned by the system.

    my $processid = $process->GetProcessId();

=item GetPid

Returns the process id assigned by the system.

    my $processid = $process->GetPid();

=item IsAlive

Check if the process still exists in the system.
Returns 1 if process exists, 0 if process does not exist. If the process has already
signalled its exit, the IsAlive method will always return 0. Therefore IsAlive should 
always return 0 (false) once a EVT_WXP_PROCESS_STREAM_EXIT event has been sent.

    my $isalive = $process->IsAlive();

=item KillProcess

Send a SIGKILL signal to the external process.

    $process->KillProcess();

=item SetAppCloseAction

When your application exits, any remaining Wx::Perl::ProcessStream::Process objects will be signaled to close.
The default signal is wxpSIGTERM but you can change this to wxpSIGKILL if you are sure this is what you want.

    $process->SetAppCloseAction( $newaction );

    $newaction = one of wxpSIGTERM, wxpSIGKILL

=item TerminateProcess

Send a SIGTERM signal to the external process.

    $process->TerminateProcess();

=item WriteProcess

Write to the STDIN of process.

    $process->WriteProcess( $writedata . "\n" );

    $writedata = The data you wish to write. Remember to add any appropriate line endings your external process may expect.

=head3 Methods


=over 12

=item OpenProcess

Run an external process. DEPRECATED - use Wx::Perl::ProcessStream::Process->new()->Run;
If the process is launched successfully, returns a Wx::Perl::ProcessStream::Process object.
If the process could not be launched, returns undef;

    my $process = Wx::Perl::ProcessStream->OpenProcess($command, $name, $eventhandler, $readmethod);

    $command      = command text (and parameters) you wish to run. You may also pass a
                    reference to an array containing the command and parameters.
    $name         = an arbitray name for the process.
    $eventhandler = the Wx object that will handle events for this process.
    $process      = Wx::Perl::ProcessStream::Process object
    $readmethod   = 'getc' or 'readline' (default = 'readline') an optional param. From Wx version
                    0.75 you can specifiy the method you wish to use to read the output of an
                    external process. The default depends on your Wx version ( 'getc' < 0.75, 
                    'readline' >= 0.75) 
                    'getc' uses the Wx::InputStream->GetC method to read bytes. 
                    'readline', uses the wxPerl implementation of Wx::InputStream->READLINE.

If the process could not be started then zero is returned.
You should destroy each process after it has completed. You can do this after receiving the exit event.


=item GetDefaultAppCloseAction

Returns the default on application close action that will be given to new processes.
When your application exits, any remaining Wx::Perl::ProcessStream::Process objects will be signalled to close.
The default signal is wxpSIGTERM but you can change this to wxpSIGKILL if you are sure this is what you want.
Whenever a mew process is opened, it is given the application close action returned by GetDefaultAppCloseAction.
You can also set the application close action at an individual process level.

    my $def-action = Wx::Perl::ProcessStream->SetDefaultAppCloseAction();

    $def-action will be one of wxpSIGTERM or wxpSIGKILL; (default wxpSIGTERM)


=item SetDefaultAppCloseAction

Sets the default on application close action that will be given to new processes.
See GetDefaultAppCloseAction.

    Wx::Perl::ProcessStream->SetDefaultAppCloseAction( $newdefaction );

    $newdefaction = one of wxpSIGTERM or wxpSIGKILL

=item SetDefaultMaxLines

Sets the default maximum number of lines that will be processed continuously from
an individual process. If a process produces a continuous stream of output, this would
hang your application. This setting provides a maximum number of lines that will be
read from the process streams before control is yielded and the events can be processed.
Additionally, a EVT_WXP_PROCESS_STREAM_MAXLINES event will be sent to the eventhandler.
The setting can also be set on an individual process basis using $process->SetMaxLines

    Wx::Perl::ProcessStream->SetDefaultMaxLines( $maxlines );
    
    the default maxlines number is 1000

=item GetPollInterval

Get the current polling interval. See SetPollInterval.

    $milliseconds = Wx::Perl::ProcessStream->GetPollInterval();

=item SetPollInterval

When all buffers are empty but there are still running external process, the module will pause before polling the processes again for output.
By default, the module waits for 500 milliseconds. You can set the value of this polling intrval with this method.
Internally, a Wx::Timer object is used to handle polling and the value you set here is passed directly to that.
The precision of the intervals is OS dependent.

    Wx::Perl::ProcessStream->SetPollInterval( $milliseconds );

    $milliseconds = number of milliseconds to wait when no buffer activity

=back

=head2 Wx::Perl::ProcessStream::ProcessEvent

A Wx::Perl::ProcessStream::ProcessEvent is sent whenever an external process started with OpenProcess writes to STDOUT, STDERR or when the process exits.


=head3 Event Connectors

=over 12

=item EVT_WXP_PROCESS_STREAM_STDOUT

Install an event handler for an event of type wxpEVT_PROCESS_STREAM_STDOUT exported on request by this module.
The event subroutine will receive a Wx::Perl::ProcessStream::ProcessEvent for every line written to STDOUT by the external process.

    EVT_WXP_PROCESS_STREAM_STDOUT( $eventhandler, $codref );

=item EVT_WXP_PROCESS_STREAM_STDERR

Install an event handler for an event of type wxpEVT_PROCESS_STREAM_STDERR exported on request by this module.
The event subroutine will receive a Wx::Perl::ProcessStream::ProcessEvent for every line written to STDERR by the external process.

    EVT_WXP_PROCESS_STREAM_STDERR( $eventhandler, $codref );

=item EVT_WXP_PROCESS_STREAM_EXIT

Install an event handler for an event of type wxpEVT_PROCESS_STREAM_EXIT exported on request by this module.
The event subroutine will receive a Wx::Perl::ProcessStream::ProcessEvent when the external process exits.

    EVT_WXP_PROCESS_STREAM_EXIT( $eventhandler, $codref );

=item EVT_WXP_PROCESS_STREAM_MAXLINES

Install an event handler for an event of type wxpEVT_PROCESS_STREAM_MAXLINES exported on request by this module.
The event subroutine will receive a Wx::Perl::ProcessStream::ProcessEvent when the external process produces
a continuous stream of lines on stderr and stdout that exceed the max lines set via $process->SetMaxLines or
Wx::Perl::ProcessStream->SetDefaultMaxLines.

    EVT_WXP_PROCESS_STREAM_MAXLINES( $eventhandler, $codref );

=back

=head3 Methods

=over 12

=item GetLine

For events of type wxpEVT_PROCESS_STREAM_STDOUT and wxpEVT_PROCESS_STREAM_STDERR this will return the line written by the process.

=item GetProcess

This returns the process that raised the event. If this is a wxpEVT_PROCESS_STREAM_EXIT event you should destroy the process with $process->Destroy;
