processes.nvim
This package currently has one function, kill_tree.
I chose to namespace it under brandoncc because processes seems like a name
that might collide with other packages or even something native eventually.
Installation
Install using your favorite plugin manager. For example in vim-plug:
Plug 'brandoncc/processes.nvim'Usage
lua require("brandoncc.processes").kill_tree(<pid>, [wait_time_in_seconds])API
kill_tree
Usage
The first argument is a pid that you would like to kill, along with any children/grandchildren/etc.
The second argument is the options hash which can have the following structure:
- timeout: number
- signals: a list of kill signals to send, after the process exits, no more signals will be sent to that process
- log_signals: a boolean stating whether you would like to see messages echoed each time a signal is sent to a process.
The options table can be omitted if you would like to use the defaults.
require("processes").killtree(pid, {
timeout = 5, -- default value
signals = { 'TERM', 'KILL' }, -- default value
log_signals: false, -- default value
})Processes are killed one a time, not in parallel.
