Hi all,
I've been searching information regarding file handles to pipes created by
System.Process.createProcess. The documentation does not state whether they are
in binary mode, i.e. whether they have line ending conversion or an encoding
enabled. That kind of information is available for runInteractiveCommand in the
same module. runInteractiveCommand opens all pipes in binary mode. I've
concluded from the source of that module that the same is probably true for
createProcess. I've two questions now:
1. Is it correct that createProcess returns file handles in binary mode when
creating pipes?
No, in fact the Handles use localeEncoding and nativeNewlineMode by
default. You can use hSetBinaryMode if you want no encoding or newline
translation.
2. Could you add that information to the haddock docs?
Yes.
Is their some other place where I could have found this?
The source :-)
Cheers,
Simon
