reaper(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation reaper(3)NAMEreaper - support for reaping child processes via $SIG{CHLD}
SYNOPSIS
use reaper qw( reaper reapPid pidStatus );
my $pid = fork;
if ( $pid == 0 ) { # child
exec $some_command;
}
reapPid ( $pid );
...
if ( defined(my $exit = pidStatus($pid)) ) {
# child exited, check the code...
}
DESCRIPTIONreaper is just a backwards-compatibility wrapper for Reaper -- turns
out that only 'pragmas' are supposed to be named in lower case, so I
renamed reaper to Reaper. But existing code contains 'use reaper', so
this allows such code to work without changes.
