boost/process.hpp provides a nice mechanism to spawn and manage processes.
It provides a child.terminate() method to send SIGKILL to a child.
How would I alternatively send SIGINT or SIGTERM to a child process?
CodePudding user response:
Looks like you can do:
#include <boost/process/child.hpp>
pid_t pid = my_child.id ();
kill (pid, SIGINT);
The documentation states that id
is a private member function, but in practise it seems not to be.
There's also:
native_handle_t native_handle() const;
But what that actually returns isn't documented. On Windows it's most likely a process handle, but on *nix there's no such thing of course.
... And Ted beat me to it :)
