SSHStream

A Stream wrapping the stdout of a command started via SSH::openExec, with the matching stderr stream and exit code alongside it.

class MMO\core\server\SSHStream extends MMO\core\server\Stream

Namespace: MMO\core\server
Extends: Stream

$stream = $ssh->openExec('ls -la'); $out = $stream->getContents($err); $stream->getExitCode();

Index

	exitCode
	ssh readonly
	stderr
	close()	Close both the stdout (`Stream::close`) and, if fetched, the stderr stream.
	getContents($errors)	Read the output of the ssh command (and its errors) NOTE: when $errors is passed, the two streams are drained TOGETHER (`loopContentsAsync`), not one after the other.
	getExitCode()
	getStderr()	Get the stderr resource
	loopContentsAsync($stdout, $stderr)	Read content asynchronously using a Generator.

Methods6

close()

SSHStream.php:36

Close both the stdout (Stream::close) and, if fetched, the stderr stream.

function close(): void

NOTE: relies on `fclose()` invalidating `is_resource()` for every variable referencing that same handle (not just the one it was called through, verified directly) to detect whether [`Stream::close`](https://mcp.mmoframework.fr/documentation/mmo.core/php/server/Stream.md#stream-close) actually closed the underlying stdout resource (it won't, e.g., for STDIN/STDOUT/STDERR under the CLI) -- stderr is only closed when stdout was.

returns

void

getContents($errors)

SSHStream.php:78

Read the output of the ssh command (and its errors) NOTE: when $errors is passed, the two streams are drained TOGETHER (loopContentsAsync), not one after the other. It used to read stderr to completion first and stdout afterwards, both blocking, which deadlocks as soon as a command fills the buffer of the stream that isn't being read: the remote process blocks writing to stdout while this side waits forever on stderr. Since SSH::execSafe always passes $errors, that was reachable from a plain $ssh->exec() on any chatty command.

function getContents(?string &$errors = null): string

$errors = null	null \| string	filled with stderr's content -- only read at all if this parameter is actually passed (checked via `func_num_args()`, so even explicitly passing `null` triggers it; `SSH::execSafe` always passes it).
returns	string

getExitCode()

SSHStream.php:50

function getExitCode(): ?int

returns null | int the command's exit code, or null until it's known -- the ssh2 extension only exposes it (as exit_status stream metadata) once the stream has been fully read (eof), so this always returns null until stdout has been drained (getContents/loopContentsAsync).

getStderr()

SSHStream.php:59

Get the stderr resource

function getStderr()

returns

null if the underlying stdout stream is already detached/closed.

loopContentsAsync($stdout, $stderr)

SSHStream.php:108

Read content asynchronously using a Generator.

function loopContentsAsync(bool $stdout = true, bool $stderr = false): Generator

- Goto next frame with $gen->next() - Read current output source with $gen->key(): stdout|stderr - Read current output with $gen->current()

$stdout = true	bool	if true include stdout output
$stderr = false	bool	if true include stderr output
returns	Generator

__construct($ssh, $stream)

SSHStream.php:24

function __construct(MMO\core\server\SSH $ssh, $stream)

$ssh	SSH
$stream		the command's stdout stream (as returned by `ssh2_exec()`).
