Module: Sox::Shell

Included in:
Cmd, Combiner::BaseStrategy
Defined in:
lib/sox/shell.rb

Overview

Provides methods to run the command in the /bin/sh and /bin/bash interpreters. Ruby’s system method runs /bin/sh which doesn’t support the process substitution feature. So sometimes we need to use bash with process substitution in order to avoid disk IO operations.

Also this module takes care of error handling and raises Error when a failure message is returned by the shell command.
