pipestreamr: Bidirectional, non-blocking communication over pipes

Description Details Author(s)

Description

The pipestreamr package wraps Jonathan Wakely's pstreams library, which allows communicating with a subprocess using stdin, stdout and stderr. All reads are non-blocking.

Details

The pstream function opens a stream object linked to a specified command (a program callable from the command line). Three functions: write_stdin, read_stdout and read_stderr can then be used to communicate with the launched proces. status will return information about the state of the stream object.
