<h1> The s6-ftrig-listen program </h1>
<p>
s6-ftrig-listen subscribes to several <a href="fifodir.html">fifodirs</a>, then
spawns a program, then waits for pattern of events to occur on the fifodirs.
</p>
<h2> Interface </h2>
<p>
In an <a href="//skarnet.org/software/execline/execlineb.html">execlineb</a>
script:
</p>
<pre>
s6-ftrig-listen [ -a | -o ] [ -t <em>timeout</em> ] { <em>fifodir1</em> <em>regexp1</em> <em>fifodir2</em> <em>regexp2</em> ... } <em>prog...</em>
</pre>
<ul>
<li> s6-ftrig-listen subscribes to <em>fifodir1</em> with the regexp <em>regexp1</em>,
to <em>fifodir2</em> with the regexp <em>regexp2</em>, and so on. </li>
<li> It then forks and exec <em>prog...</em> with all its arguments </li>
<li> It waits for the series of events received on <em>fifodir-i</em>
to match <em>regexp-i</em>, The <em>regexp-i</em> must be
<a href="https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/V1_chap09.html#tag_09_04">Extended
Regular Expressions</a>. </li>
<li> When the series of read events matches the <em>regexp</em>s,
s6-ftrig-listen exits 0. </li>
</ul>
<h2> Options </h2>
<ul>
<li> <tt>-t <em>timeout</em></tt> : if the events on the <em>fifodir</em>s have not
matched the <em>regexp</em>s after <em>timeout</em> milliseconds, print an error message on
stderr and exit 1. By default, s6-ftrig-listen waits indefinitely for a matching series
of events. </li>
<li> <tt>-a</tt> : and (conjunction). s6-ftrig-listen will only exit when <em>all</em>
the <em>fifodir-i</em> have been notified with events matching the corresponding <em>regexp-i</em>.
This is the default. </li>
<li> <tt>-o</tt> : one (disjunction). s6-ftrig-listen will exit as soon as <em>one</em>
of the <em>fifodir-i</em> has been notified with events matching its <em>regexp-i</em>. </li>
</ul>
<h2> Notes </h2>
<p>
s6-ftrig-listen can be used outside of an execlineb script by using the
internal argv syntax, but this syntax is an implementation detail and is
not documented as stable. In a shell
script, use <tt>execlineb -Pc 's6-ftrig-listen ...'</tt> to get the
benefits of the execlineb brace syntax.
