I often use
9p read long/lived/file | short-lived-process
in my scripts. Whenshort-lived-process
exits, 9p doesn't see it until it tries to write again, which can be in an indeterminate time.This PR polls stdout and stderr, assumes that a
POLLERR
means either was closed, and exits. It has been tested on linux only.To reproduce:
sed
should stop as soon as an acme window is closed, and that should inform 9p to stop reading the log. Currently it doesn't.
