DESCRIPTION

INTERFACE

AG_ProcessID
AG_WaitOnProcess(AG_ProcessID pid, enum ag_exec_wait_type wait_type);

int
AG_Kill(AG_ProcessID pid);

The AG_Execute() function executes the specified file with the given arguments, returning an integer process ID. If an error occured, the function returns -1 and sets an error message accordingly.

AG_WaitOnProcess() checks for status or waits until the specified process terminates. The wait_type argument may be one of:

AG_EXEC_WAIT_IMMEDIATE

If the process has not exited, return immediately without blocking.

AG_EXEC_WAIT_INFINITE

Block the calling thread until the process has exited.

The function returns the PID of the terminated process, -1 if an error occured, or 0 if wait_type is AG_EXEC_WAIT_IMMEDIATE and the process is still running.

The AG_Kill() function immediately terminates the specified process.
