hello world

((~) * s ExitCode, (~) * o Text, (~) * e Text) => Eval (IO (s, o, e))

Return exit code, stdout, and stderr of external process

>>> [sh|echo hello world; echo bye world >&2; exit 1|] :: IO (ExitCode, Text, Text)
(ExitFailure 1,"hello world\n","bye world\n")

Eval (IO ExitCode)

Return exit code of the external process

>>> [sh|exit 0|] :: IO ExitCode
ExitSuccess

>>> [sh|exit 7|] :: IO ExitCode
ExitFailure 7

Eval (IO Text)

Return stdout of the external process as Text

Does not care whether external process has failed or not.

>>> [sh|echo -n hello world|] :: IO Text
"hello world"

((~) * i Text, (~) * o (ExitCode, Text, Text)) => Eval (i -> IO o)

Return exit code, stdout, and stderr of the external process and pass supplied Text to its stdin

>>> [sh|while read line; do echo ${#line}; done|] "hello\nworld!\n"
