Function template async_execute

boost::process::v2::async_execute — Execute a process asynchronously.

Synopsis

// In header: <boost/process/v2/execute.hpp>


template<typename Executor, 
          DEFAULT_TYPE> 
   (basic_process<  proc, 
                         DEFAULT);

Description

This function asynchronously for a process to complete.

Cancelling the execution will signal the child process to exit with the following interpretations:

  • cancellation_type::total -> interrupt

  • cancellation_type::partial -> request_exit

  • cancellation_type::terminal -> terminate

It is to note that async_execute will us the lowest selected cancellation type. A subprocess might ignore anything not terminal.
