Detailed Description

Utility class which defines convenience operators for spawning processes with system calls.

The CommandShell class wraps the C system() utility and defines convenience operators for building a command string and then passing it to the shell.

Member Function Documentation

operator<<() [1/2]

CommandShell & operator<< ( const char *  cmd )

inline

appends cmd to sysCommand

convenient operator: appends string to the commandString to be executed

References CommandShell::sysCommand.

operator<<() [2/2]

CommandShell & operator<< ( CommandShell &(*)(CommandShell &)  f )

inline

allows passing of the flush function to the shell using <<

convenience operator: allows passing of the flush func to the shell via <<

flush()

CommandShell & flush

(

)

"flushes" the shell; i.e. executes the sysCommand

Executes the sysCommand by passing it to system(). Appends an "&" if asynchFlag is set (background system call) and echos the sysCommand to Cout if suppressOutputFlag is not set.
