IO::Pipe Reference

Buffered inter-process string or binary stream

What it is #

Routines #

Signatures are reproduced from the documentation, including their declared return types. A routine listed here is part of the type's published interface; whether Raku++ implements it is a separate question, answered by the examples below.

method close #

method close(IO::Pipe: --> Proc:D)

Returns Proc:D.

Closes the pipe and returns Proc object from which the pipe originates.

method IO #

method IO(IO::Pipe: --> IO::Path:U)

Returns IO::Path:U.

Returns an IO::Path type object.

method path #

method path(IO::Pipe: --> IO::Path:U)

Returns IO::Path:U.

Returns an IO::Path type object.

method proc #

method proc(IO::Pipe: --> Proc:D)

Returns Proc:D.

Returns the Proc object from which the pipe originates.

Examples, run three ways #

Every example below comes from the official documentation, together with the output that documentation asserts. Each was then executed by Rakudo and by Raku++ when this page was built. Where the three agree, one result is shown; where they do not, all three are — because which of them is wrong is exactly the information worth having.
