Synopsis

- pipeProcess :: Maybe [(String, String)] -> FilePath -> [String] -> ByteString -> IO (ExitCode, ByteString, ByteString)

Arguments

:: Maybe [(String, String)] | environment variables
-> FilePath | Filename of the executable (see `proc` for details)
-> [String] | any arguments
-> ByteString | standard input
-> IO (ExitCode, ByteString, ByteString) | exitcode, stdout, stderr

Version of `readProcessWithExitCode` that uses lazy bytestrings instead of strings and allows setting environment variables.

`readProcessWithExitCode` creates an external process, reads its standard output and standard error strictly, waits until the process terminates, and then returns the `ExitCode` of the process, the standard output, and the standard error.

If an asynchronous exception is thrown to the thread executing `readProcessWithExitCode`, the forked process will be terminated and `readProcessWithExitCode` will wait (block) until the process has been terminated.
