closeOnExec
TypeScript
get closeOnExec(): FileDescriptor_PipeOptions
Swift declaration
static var closeOnExec: FileDescriptor.PipeOptions { get }
Indicates that executing a program closes the file.
Normally, file descriptors remain open
across calls to the `exec(2)` family of functions.
If you specify this option,
the file descriptor is closed when replacing this process
with another process.
The state of the file
descriptor flags can be inspected using `F_GETFD`,
as described in the `fcntl(2)` man page.
The corresponding C constant is `O_CLOEXEC`.

closeOnFork
TypeScript
get closeOnFork(): FileDescriptor_PipeOptions
Swift declaration
static var closeOnFork: FileDescriptor.PipeOptions { get }
Indicates that forking a program closes the file.
Normally, file descriptors remain open
across calls to the `fork(2)` function.
If you specify this option,
the file descriptor is closed when forking this process
into another process.
The state of the file
descriptor flags can be inspected using `F_GETFD`,
as described in the `fcntl(2)` man page.
The corresponding C constant is `O_CLOFORK`.

nonBlocking
TypeScript
get nonBlocking(): FileDescriptor_PipeOptions
Swift declaration
static var nonBlocking: FileDescriptor.PipeOptions { get }
Indicates that all subsequent input and output operations
on the pipe's file descriptors will be nonblocking.
The corresponding C constant is `O_NONBLOCK`.
