process-streaming

A library for interacting with system processes in a streaming fashion.

The basic goals:

  • Concurrent, streaming access to stdin, stdout and stderr…

  • …all the while preventing deadlocks caused by mishandling of the streams.

  • Easy integration with consumers from pipes, parsers from pipes-parse and folds from foldl.

  • Facilitate the use of sum types to signal failures, when desired.

  • No fussing around with process handles: wait for the process by waiting for the IO action, terminate the process by killing the thread executing the IO action.

A relevant thread in the Haskell Pipes Google Group.
