IPXFWEXITSTATUS (L*X, M*X)

POSIX Function: Returns the exit code of a child process.

Module

USE IFPOSIX

Syntax

result = IPXFWEXITSTATUS (istat)

istat

(Input) INTEGER(4). The value of output argument istat from PXFWAIT or PXFWAITPID.

Results

The result type is INTEGER(4). The result is the low-order eight bits of the output argument of PXFWAIT or PXFWAITPID.

The IPXFWEXITSTATUS function should only be used if PXFWIFEXITED returns TRUE.

Example

program t1

use ifposix

integer(4) ipid, istat, ierror, ipid_ret, istat_ret

print *," the child process will be born"

call PXFFORK(IPID, IERROR)

call PXFGETPID(IPID_RET,IERROR)

if(IPID.EQ.0) then

print *," I am a child process"

print *," My child's pid is", IPID_RET

call PXFGETPPID(IPID_RET,IERROR)

print *," The pid of my parent is",IPID_RET

print *," Now I have exited with code 0xABCD"

call PXFEXIT(Z'ABCD')

else

print *," I am a parent process"

print *," My parent pid is ", IPID_RET

print *," I am creating the process with pid", IPID

print *," Now I am waiting for the end of the child process"

call PXFWAIT(ISTAT, IPID_RET, IERROR)

print *," The child with pid ", IPID_RET," has exited"

if( PXFWIFEXITED(ISTAT) ) then

print *, " The child exited normally"

istat_ret = IPXFWEXITSTATUS(ISTAT)

print 10," The low byte of the child exit code is", istat_ret

end if

end if
