## Introduction
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Manage interactive jobs in Hilbish via Lua.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Jobs are the name of background tasks/commands. A job can be started via
|
|
|
|
interactive usage or with the functions defined below for use in external runners.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Object properties
|
|
|
|
- `cmd`: The user entered command string for the job.
|
|
|
|
- `running`: Whether the job is running or not.
|
|
|
|
- `id`: The ID of the job in the job table
|
|
|
|
- `pid`: The Process ID
|
|
|
|
- `exitCode`: The last exit code of the job.
|
|
|
|
- `stdout`: The standard output of the job. This just means the normal logs of the process.
|
|
|
|
- `stderr`: The standard error stream of the process. This (usually) includes error messages of the job.
|
|
|

## Functions

|
|
|
|
|
|
### foreground()
|
|
|
|

|
executed normally and wait for it to complete.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### add(cmdstr, args, execPath)
