pcntl_waitpid

(PHP 4 >= 4.1.0, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

pcntl_waitpid — Waits on or returns the status of a forked child

Descrizione

pcntl_waitpid(
    int $process_id,
    int &$status,
    int $flags = 0,
    array &$resource_usage = []
): int

Suspends execution of the current process until a child as specified by the process_id argument has exited, or until a signal is delivered whose action is to terminate the current process or to call a signal handling function.

If a child as requested by process_id has already exited by the time of the call (a so-called "zombie" process), the function returns immediately. Any system resources used by the child are freed. Please see your system's waitpid(2) man page for specific details as to how waitpid works on your system.

Elenco dei parametri

process_id

The value of process_id can be one of the following:

**possible values for `process_id`**
`< -1`	wait for any child process whose process group ID is equal to the absolute value of `process_id`.
`-1`	wait for any child process; this is the same behaviour that the wait function exhibits.
`0`	wait for any child process whose process group ID is equal to that of the calling process.
`> 0`	wait for the child whose process ID is equal to the value of `process_id`.

Nota:
Specifying -1 as the process_id is equivalent to the functionality pcntl_wait() provides (minus flags).

status

pcntl_waitpid() will store status information in the status parameter which can be evaluated using the following functions: pcntl_wifexited(), pcntl_wifstopped(), pcntl_wifsignaled(), pcntl_wexitstatus(), pcntl_wtermsig() and pcntl_wstopsig().

flags

The value of flags is the value of zero or more of the following two global constants OR'ed together:

**possible values for `flags`**
`WNOHANG`	return immediately if no child has exited.
`WUNTRACED`	return for children which are stopped, and whose status has not been reported.

Valori restituiti

pcntl_waitpid() returns the process ID of the child which exited, -1 on error or zero if WNOHANG was used and no child was available

pcntl_fork() - Forks the currently running process
pcntl_signal() - Installs a signal handler
pcntl_wifexited() - Checks if status code represents a normal exit
pcntl_wifstopped() - Checks whether the child process is currently stopped
pcntl_wifsignaled() - Checks whether the status code represents a termination due to a signal
pcntl_wexitstatus() - Returns the return code of a terminated child
pcntl_wtermsig() - Returns the signal which caused the child to terminate
pcntl_wstopsig() - Returns the signal which caused the child to stop

please note, if you using configure option --enable-sigchild(Enable PHP's own SIGCHLD handler) when complie php(under linux 2.6.18-53.1.13.el5.centos.plus and php 5.2.5 as I know), pcntl_waitpid and pcntl_wait in php script would never return the child pid, because the build in handle get it first.
