[英]WEXITSTATUS always returns 0
I am forking a process and running a wc
command using execl
. 我正在分叉进程并使用execl
运行wc
命令。 Now under correct arguments, it runs fine, but when I give a wrong file name, it fails, but in both the cases the return value of WEXITSTATUS(status)
is always 0. 现在,在正确的参数下,它可以正常运行,但是当我输入错误的文件名时,它将失败,但是在两种情况下, WEXITSTATUS(status)
的返回值始终为0。
I believe there is something wrong with what I am doing, but I'm not sure what is. 我认为自己的工作有问题,但是我不确定这是什么。 Reading man pages and Google suggests that I should get a correct value as per the status code. 阅读手册页和Google时,建议我根据状态码获取正确的值。
Here is my code: 这是我的代码:
#include <iostream>
#include <unistd.h>
int main(int argc, const char * argv[])
{
pid_t pid = fork();
if(pid <0){
printf("error condition");
} else if(pid == 0) {
printf("child process");
execl("/usr/bin/wc", "wc", "-l", "/Users/gabbi/learning/test/xyz.st",NULL);
printf("this happened");
} else {
int status;
wait(&status);
if( WIFEXITED( status ) ) {
std::cout << "Child terminated normally" << std::endl;
printf("exit status is %d",WEXITSTATUS(status));
return 0;
} else {
}
}
}
If you supply a name of non existing file to execl()
as 1st argument it fails. 如果为execl()
提供一个不存在的文件名作为第一个参数,它将失败。 If this happens the program leaves without returning any specifiy value. 如果发生这种情况,程序将退出而不返回任何指定值。 So the default of 0
is returned. 因此,将返回默认值0
。
You could fix the for example like this: 您可以像这样修复示例:
#include <errno.h>
...
int main(int argc, const char * argv[])
{
pid_t pid = fork();
if(pid <0){
printf("error condition");
} else if(pid == 0) {
printf("child process");
execl(...); /* In case exec succeeds it never returns. */
perror("execl() failed");
return errno; /* In case exec fails return something different then 0. */
}
...
You are not passing the file name from argv to the child process 您没有将文件名从argv传递给子进程
Instead of 代替
execl("/usr/bin/wc", "wc", "-l", "/Users/gabbi/learning/test/xyz.st",NULL);
Try this, 尝试这个,
execl("/usr/bin/wc", "wc", "-l", argv[1],NULL);
The output I got on my machine 我在机器上得到的输出
xxx@MyUbuntu:~/cpp$ ./a.out test.txt
6 test.txt
Child terminated normally
exit status is 0
xxx@MyUbuntu:~/cpp$ ./a.out /test.txt
wc: /test.txt: No such file or directory
Child terminated normally
exit status is 1
This was an xcode issue, running from console works fine. 这是一个xcode问题,可以从控制台运行正常。 I am a Java guy, doing some assignments in CPP. 我是Java专家,在CPP中做一些作业。 Nevertheless, it might come handy to someone getting stuck at similar issue. 但是,对于陷入类似问题的人来说可能会很方便。
