- ProcessBuilder
public abstract static class ProcessBuilder.Redirect extends Object
Represents a source of subprocess input or a destination of subprocess output. EachRedirect
instance is one of the following:- the special value
Redirect.PIPE
- the special value
Redirect.INHERIT
- a redirection to read from a file, created by an invocation of
Redirect.from(File)
- a redirection to write to a file, created by an invocation of
Redirect.to(File)
- a redirection to append to a file, created by an invocation of
Redirect.appendTo(File)
Each of the above categories has an associated unique

Field Detail

PIPE
public static final ProcessBuilder.Redirect PIPE
Indicates that subprocess I/O will be connected to the current Java process over a pipe. This is the default handling of subprocess standard I/O.It will always be true that
Redirect.PIPE.file() == null && Redirect.PIPE.type() == Redirect.Type.PIPE
-
INHERIT
public static final ProcessBuilder.Redirect INHERIT
Indicates that subprocess I/O source or destination will be the same as those of the current process. This is the normal behavior of most operating system command interpreters (shells).It will always be true that
Redirect.INHERIT.file() == null && Redirect.INHERIT.type() == Redirect.Type.INHERIT

Method Detail
-
type
public abstract ProcessBuilder.Redirect.Type type()
Returns the type of thisRedirect
.- Returns:
- the type of this
Redirect
-
file
public File file()
Returns theFile
source or destination associated with this redirect, ornull
if there is no such file.- Returns:
- the file associated with this redirect,
or
null
if there is no such file
-
from
public static ProcessBuilder.Redirect from(File file)
Returns a redirect to read from the specified file.It will always be true that
Redirect.from(file).file() == file && Redirect.from(file).type() == Redirect.Type.READ
- Returns:
- a redirect to read from the specified file
- Throws:
NullPointerException
- if the specified file is null
-
to
public static ProcessBuilder.Redirect to(File file)
Returns a redirect to write to the specified file. If the specified file exists when the subprocess is started, its previous contents will be discarded.It will always be true that
Redirect.to(file).file() == file && Redirect.to(file).type() == Redirect.Type.WRITE
- Returns:
- a redirect to write to the specified file
- Throws:
NullPointerException
- if the specified file is null
-
appendTo
public static ProcessBuilder.Redirect appendTo(File file)
Returns a redirect to append to the specified file. Each write operation first advances the position to the end of the file and then writes the requested data. Whether the advancement of the position and the writing of the data are done in a single atomic operation is system-dependent and therefore unspecified.It will always be true that
Redirect.appendTo(file).file() == file && Redirect.appendTo(file).type() == Redirect.Type.APPEND
- Returns:
- a redirect to append to the specified file
- Throws:
NullPointerException
- if the specified file is null
-
equals
public boolean equals(Object obj)
Compares the specified object with thisRedirect
for equality. Returnstrue
if and only if the two objects are identical or both objects areRedirect
instances of the same type associated with non-null equalFile
instances.- Overrides:
equals
in classObject
- Parameters:
obj
- the reference object with which to compare.- Returns:
true
if this object is the same as the obj argument;false
otherwise.- See Also:
Object.hashCode()
,HashMap
-
hashCode
public int hashCode()
Returns a hash code value for thisRedirect
.- Overrides:
hashCode
in classObject
- Returns:
- a hash code value for this
Redirect
- See Also:
Object.equals(java.lang.Object)
,System.identityHashCode(java.lang.Object)
