An erroneous port driver causes the entire Erlang runtime system to leak memory, hang or crash. Erlang truly is a useful language. The port owner Pid can communicate with the port Por by sending and receiving messages.
Instead of sending and receiving messages, there are also a number of BIFs that can be used:. Data is received from the external program.
Valid values erlxng N are 1, 2, or 4. Returns a port identifier Port as the result of opening a new Erlang port. Data is received from the external program.
Messages can be sent to and received from a port identifier, pory like a pid. I'll start out with some C code that will function as the bridge between erlang and libcurl.
Note that the old port owner linied still linked to the port, but the new port owner is not. The linked-in driver looks like a port from the Erlang programmer's point of view and is called a port driver.

All functions in the driver takes a handle returned from start that is just passed along by the Erlang process.
Valid values for N are 1, 2 or 4. The BIFs mentioned are as usual documented in erlang 3. Like all high-level languages, however, you sometimes need to access legacy or system code written in another language like, you guessed it, C.
6 Port Drivers
I came accross this situation recently when porting my webcrawler to erlang. There are some additional BIFs that only apply to port drivers: The driver structure is filled with the driver name and function pointers.
The linked-in driver looks like a port from the Erlang programmer's point of view and is called a port driver. It is customary to use an allocated driver-defined structure for this one, and to pass a pointer back as a reference.
Wed Sep 16 The solution I chose was to bridge erlang with libcurl by way of an erlang "linked-in driver". Ports provide the basic mechanism for communication with the external world, from Erlang's point of lort.
Young risk taker.: Tutorial for how to create Erlang linked-in driver.
It is also possible to write a driver in C according to certain principles and dynamically link it to the Erlang ln system. PortSettings is a list of settings options for the port.
In fact, any process can send the messages to the port, but the port owner must be identified in the message. Now I'll slap a little thread safe erlang wrapper together. The external program runs outside the Erlang workspace unless a port driver with the name Command is found. Justin can you post working code as answer and mark it as answer.
Erlang - Drivers
Returns information as specified edlang Item. Note that the old port owner is still linked to the port, but the new port owner is not.
Depending on your point of view the hard part is now done. By default, it should read from standard input file descriptor 0 and write to standard output file descriptor 1. Sets the port owner of Port to NewPid.
