|
==========================
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyOS_FSPath(PyObject *path)
|
|
|
|
Return the file system representation for *path*. If the object is a
|
|
:class:`str` or :class:`bytes` object, then its reference count is
|
|
incremented. If the object implements the :class:`os.PathLike` interface,
|
|
then :meth:`~os.PathLike.__fspath__` is returned as long as it is a
|
|
:class:`str` or :class:`bytes` object. Otherwise :exc:`TypeError` is raised
|
|
and ``NULL`` is returned.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.6
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int Py_FdIsInteractive(FILE *fp, const char *filename)
|
|
|
|
Return true (nonzero) if the standard I/O file *fp* with name *filename* is
|
|
deemed interactive. This is the case for files for which ``isatty(fileno(fp))``
|
|
is true. If the global flag :c:data:`Py_InteractiveFlag` is true, this function
|
|
also returns true if the *filename* pointer is *NULL* or if the name is equal to
|
|
one of the strings ``'<stdin>'`` or ``'???'``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: void PyOS_AfterFork()
|
|
|
|
Function to update some internal state after a process fork; this should be
|
|
called in the new process if the Python interpreter will continue to be used.
|
|
If a new executable is loaded into the new process, this function does not need
|
|
to be called.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int PyOS_CheckStack()
|
|
|
|
Return true when the interpreter runs out of stack space. This is a reliable
|
|
check, but is only available when :const:`USE_STACKCHECK` is defined (currently
|
|
on Windows using the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler). :const:`USE_STACKCHECK`
|
|
will be defined automatically; you should never change the definition in your
|
|
own code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyOS_sighandler_t PyOS_getsig(int i)
|
|
|
|
Return the current signal handler for signal *i*. This is a thin wrapper around
|
|
either :c:func:`sigaction` or :c:func:`signal`. Do not call those functions
|
|
directly! :c:type:`PyOS_sighandler_t` is a typedef alias for :c:type:`void
|
|
(\*)(int)`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyOS_sighandler_t PyOS_setsig(int i, PyOS_sighandler_t h)
|
|
|
|
Set the signal handler for signal *i* to be *h*; return the old signal handler.
|
|
This is a thin wrapper around either :c:func:`sigaction` or :c:func:`signal`. Do
|
|
not call those functions directly! :c:type:`PyOS_sighandler_t` is a typedef
|
|
alias for :c:type:`void (\*)(int)`.
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: wchar_t* Py_DecodeLocale(const char* arg, size_t *size)
|
|
|
|
Decode a byte string from the locale encoding with the :ref:`surrogateescape
|
|
error handler <surrogateescape>`: undecodable bytes are decoded as
|
|
characters in range U+DC80..U+DCFF. If a byte sequence can be decoded as a
|
|
surrogate character, escape the bytes using the surrogateescape error
|
|
handler instead of decoding them.
|
|
|
|
Return a pointer to a newly allocated wide character string, use
|
|
:c:func:`PyMem_RawFree` to free the memory. If size is not ``NULL``, write
|
|
the number of wide characters excluding the null character into ``*size``
|
|
|
|
Return ``NULL`` on decoding error or memory allocation error. If *size* is
|
|
not ``NULL``, ``*size`` is set to ``(size_t)-1`` on memory error or set to
|
|
``(size_t)-2`` on decoding error.
|
|
|
|
Decoding errors should never happen, unless there is a bug in the C
|
|
library.
|
|
|
|
Use the :c:func:`Py_EncodeLocale` function to encode the character string
|
|
back to a byte string.
|
|
|
|
.. seealso::
|
|
|
|

|
|
:c:func:`PyUnicode_DecodeLocaleAndSize` functions.

|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: char* Py_EncodeLocale(const wchar_t *text, size_t *error_pos)
|
|
|
|
Encode a wide character string to the locale encoding with the
|
|
:ref:`surrogateescape error handler <surrogateescape>`: surrogate characters
|
|
in the range U+DC80..U+DCFF are converted to bytes 0x80..0xFF.
|
|
|
|
Return a pointer to a newly allocated byte string, use :c:func:`PyMem_Free`
|
|
to free the memory. Return ``NULL`` on encoding error or memory allocation
|
|
error
|
|
|
|
If error_pos is not ``NULL``, ``*error_pos`` is set to the index of the
|
|
invalid character on encoding error, or set to ``(size_t)-1`` otherwise.
|
|
|
|
Use the :c:func:`Py_DecodeLocale` function to decode the bytes string back
|
|
to a wide character string.

System Functions
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
These are utility functions that make functionality from the :mod:`sys` module
|
|
accessible to C code. They all work with the current interpreter thread's
|
|
:mod:`sys` module's dict, which is contained in the internal thread state structure.
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject *PySys_GetObject(const char *name)
|
|
|
|
Return the object *name* from the :mod:`sys` module or *NULL* if it does
|
|
not exist, without setting an exception.
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int PySys_SetObject(const char *name, PyObject *v)
|
|
|
|
Set *name* in the :mod:`sys` module to *v* unless *v* is *NULL*, in which
|
|
case *name* is deleted from the sys module. Returns ``0`` on success, ``-1``
|
|
on error.
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: void PySys_ResetWarnOptions()
|
|
|
|
Reset :data:`sys.warnoptions` to an empty list.
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: void PySys_AddWarnOption(wchar_t *s)
|
|
|
|
Append *s* to :data:`sys.warnoptions`.
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: void PySys_AddWarnOptionUnicode(PyObject *unicode)
|
|
|
|
Append *unicode* to :data:`sys.warnoptions`.
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: void PySys_SetPath(wchar_t *path)
|
|
|
|
Set :data:`sys.path` to a list object of paths found in *path* which should
|
|
be a list of paths separated with the platform's search path delimiter
|
|
(``:`` on Unix, ``;`` on Windows).
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: void PySys_WriteStdout(const char *format, ...)
|
|
|
|
Write the output string described by *format* to :data:`sys.stdout`. No
|
|
exceptions are raised, even if truncation occurs (see below).
|
|
|
|
*format* should limit the total size of the formatted output string to
|
|
1000 bytes or less -- after 1000 bytes, the output string is truncated.
|
|
In particular, this means that no unrestricted "%s" formats should occur;
|
|
these should be limited using "%.<N>s" where <N> is a decimal number
|
|
calculated so that <N> plus the maximum size of other formatted text does not
|
|
exceed 1000 bytes. Also watch out for "%f", which can print hundreds of
|
|
digits for very large numbers.
|
|
|
|
If a problem occurs, or :data:`sys.stdout` is unset, the formatted message
|
|
is written to the real (C level) *stdout*.
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: void PySys_WriteStderr(const char *format, ...)
|
|
|
|
As :c:func:`PySys_WriteStdout`, but write to :data:`sys.stderr` or *stderr*
|
|
instead.
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: void PySys_FormatStdout(const char *format, ...)
|
|
|
|
Function similar to PySys_WriteStdout() but format the message using
|
|
:c:func:`PyUnicode_FromFormatV` and don't truncate the message to an
|
|
arbitrary length.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.2
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: void PySys_FormatStderr(const char *format, ...)
|
|
|
|
As :c:func:`PySys_FormatStdout`, but write to :data:`sys.stderr` or *stderr*
|
|
instead.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.2
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: void PySys_AddXOption(const wchar_t *s)
|
|
|
|
Parse *s* as a set of :option:`-X` options and add them to the current
|
|
options mapping as returned by :c:func:`PySys_GetXOptions`.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.2
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject *PySys_GetXOptions()
|
|
|
|
Return the current dictionary of :option:`-X` options, similarly to
|
|
:data:`sys._xoptions`. On error, *NULL* is returned and an exception is
|
|
set.

===============
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: void Py_FatalError(const char *message)
|
|
|
|
.. index:: single: abort()
|
|
|
|
Print a fatal error message and kill the process. No cleanup is performed.
|
|
This function should only be invoked when a condition is detected that would
|
|
make it dangerous to continue using the Python interpreter; e.g., when the
|
|
object administration appears to be corrupted. On Unix, the standard C library
|
|
function :c:func:`abort` is called which will attempt to produce a :file:`core`
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: void Py_Exit(int status)
|
|
|
|
.. index::
|
|
single: Py_FinalizeEx()
|
|
single: exit()
|
|
|
|
Exit the current process. This calls :c:func:`Py_FinalizeEx` and then calls the
|
|
standard C library function ``exit(status)``. If :c:func:`Py_FinalizeEx`
|
|
indicates an error, the exit status is set to 120.
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 3.6
|
|
Errors from finalization no longer ignored.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int Py_AtExit(void (*func) ())
|
|
|
|
.. index::
|
|
single: Py_FinalizeEx()
|
|
single: cleanup functions
|
|
|
|
Register a cleanup function to be called by :c:func:`Py_FinalizeEx`. The cleanup
|
|
function will be called with no arguments and should return no value. At most
|
|
32 cleanup functions can be registered. When the registration is successful,
|
|
:c:func:`Py_AtExit` returns ``0``; on failure, it returns ``-1``. The cleanup
|
|
function registered last is called first. Each cleanup function will be called
|
|
at most once. Since Python's internal finalization will have completed before
|
|
the cleanup function, no Python APIs should be called by *func*.
