I'm trying to have a pipe go to the cmd.ExtraFiles
I currently have the error saying
cannot use cmdstdout (type io.ReadCloser) as type []byte in argument to pipeR.Read
cannot use cmdstdout (type io.ReadCloser) as type []byte in argument to fd3.Write
This is the gocode I have thus far
cmd2 = exec.Command("-i", "pipe:0", "-i", "pipe:1")
cmd1 := exec.Command("command", "-o", "-")
pipeR, pipeW, _ := os.Pipe()
cmd2.ExtraFiles = []*os.File{
pipeW,
}
cmd1.Start()
cmd1stdout, err := cmd1.StdoutPipe()
if err != nil {
log.Printf("pipeThruError: %v
", err)
return err
}
fd3 := os.NewFile(3, "/proc/self/fd/3")
fd3.Write(cmd1stdout)
pipeR.Read(cmd1stdout)
pipeR.Close()
pipeW.Close()
fd3.Close()
cmd3 = exec.Command("command", "-o", "-")
stdin, stdinErr := cmd3.StdoutPipe()
if stdinErr != nil {
log.Printf("pipeThruFStdinErr: %v
", stdinErr)
return stdinErr
}
cmd3.Start()
cmd2.Stdin = stdin
EDIT: Added full scope
The goal is to have cmd2 accept input via cmd3 by Stdin
, and have cmd1 output piped via ExtraFiles
