Scsh cheat sheet

November 1994

This cheat sheet is intentionally kept brief and minimalist.
It is intended to function as an ASCII-format reminder for the
full manual, not as the definition. It can be read using GNU Emacs's
outline mode.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* High-level forms

Extended process form:
    (PF [REDIR1 ...])

Redirection:
    (<  [FDES] FILE-NAME)
    (>  [FDES] FILE-NAME)
    (<< [FDES] OBJECT)
    (=  FDES FDES/PORT)
    (-  FDES/PORT)
    stdports
Subforms are implicitly backquoted.

Process form:
    (| PF1 ...)				; pipeline
    (|+ CONNECT-LIST PF1 ...)		; complex pipeline
    (begin . BODY)			; Scheme form
    (epf . EPF)				; Embedded extended process form
    (PROG ARG1 ... ARGn)		; Exec a program
Subforms are implicitly backquoted.

Using process forms in Scheme:
    (exec-epf . EPF)	; Nuke the current process.
    (& . EPF)		; Fork process in background. Return pid.
    (run . EPF)		; Run process. Return exit code.

    (& . EPF) = (fork (lambda () (exec-epf . EPF)))
    (run . EPF) = (wait (& . EPF))

Interfacing to subprocess I/O:
    (run/port . EPF) -> port
    (run/file . EPF) -> string
    (run/string . EPF) -> string
    (run/strings . EPF) -> string list
    (run/sexp . EPF) -> object
    (run/sexps . EPF) -> list

There are procedural equivalents for each of these, e.g., run/port* and
run/file*, that take thunk arguments for the subprocess.

(port->string PORT) -> string
    Read until EOF on PORT, return data as a string.

(port->string-list PORT) -> string list
    Repeatedly apply READ-LINE to PORT until EOF. Return list of lines read.

(port->sexp-list PORT) -> list
    Repeatedly apply READ to PORT until EOF. Return list of items read.

(port->list READER PORT)
    Repeatedly apply READER to PORT until EOF. Return list of items read.

(reduce-port PORT READER OP . SEEDS)
    Evaluate (OP (READER PORT) . SEEDS) to get a new set of seeds
    (OP must return as many values as there are SEEDS). When
    a port read returns EOF, the current set of seed values are
    returned as multiple values.

(run/port+pid  . EPF) -> [port fixnum]
(run/port+pid* THUNK) -> [port fixnum]

(run/collecting  FDS . EPF) -> [port ...]
(run/collecting* FDS THUNK) -> [port ...]
    RUN/COLLECTING implicitly backquotes FDS.

(|| PF1 ... PFn)
(&& PF1 ... PFn)
    Conditionally execute processes.

(char-filter   filter) -> procedure
(string-filter filter [buflen]) -> procedure

* System calls

** Errors

(errno-error errno SYSCALL . DATA)
(with-errno-handler* HANDLER THUNK) -> value of thunk
    HANDLER is called on two arguments: (HANDLER ERRNO PACKET)
    where PACKET is a list of the form (ERRNO-MSG SYSCALL . DATA)
    If HANDLER returns at all, the handler search continues upwards.

(with-errno-handler HANDLER-SPEC . BODY)
    HANDLER-SPEC is of the form
    	((ERRNO PACKET) CLAUSE ...)
    ERRNO and PACKET are variables bound to the errno error being raised.
    There are two forms for handler clauses:
    	((ERRNO ...) . BODY)
    	(else . BODY)
    ERRNO are expressions evaluating to errno integers.
