Detailed Description

Generate and return failed = .false. if the attempt to run the requested shell command is successful.
Otherwise, return failed = .true. indicating the occurrence of an error.

This procedure provides a convenient functional interface to the Fortran intrinsic execute_command_line() by automatically interpreting the output error codes and reporting the failure as the function output if it occurs.

Parameters

[in]	command	: The input scalar character of default kind SK containing the system shell command to run.
[in]	wait	: The input scalar logical of default kind LK with the same functionality as the wait argument of the Fortran intrinsic execute_command_line(). If .true., the procedure will wait for the command to terminate before returning the control to the Fortran program. Otherwise, the process of running the requested shell command will be done asynchronously. (optional, default = .true.)
[in,out]	exitstat	: The input/output scalar integer of default kind IK with the same functionality as the exitstat argument of the Fortran intrinsic execute_command_line(). On output, it is assigned the process exit status from the command, only if wait = .true.. If wait = .false., the value of exitstat remains untouched. The value and meaning of this output argument is system dependent, but a non-zero value typically indicates the occurrence of an error within the execution of the specified command. (optional. If missing, no exit status will be returned.)
[out]	cmdstat	: The output scalar integer of default kind IK with the same functionality as the cmdstat argument of the Fortran intrinsic execute_command_line(). On output, it is assigned 0 if the process of running the requested shell command terminates without error, -1 if the processor does not support command execution, -2 if wait = .true. is specified but the processor does not support asynchronous command execution, a positive value if any other error occurs. (optional. If missing, no cmdstat will be returned.)
[in,out]	cmdmsg	: The input/output scalar character of default kind SK of arbitrary length type parameter the same functionality as the cmdmsg argument of the Fortran intrinsic execute_command_line(). If present and the output cmdstat is assigned a positive value, then cmdmsg will be assigned an explanatory message describing the nature of the error that has occurred. If the length of cmdstat is too short for the output error message, the message tail will be clipped as needed. A length of LEN_IOMSG characters for cmdmsg is likely enough to capture most error messages in full. (optional. If missing, no error message will be output.)

Returns

failed : The output scalar logical of default kind LK. It is .true. if and only if an error occurs while running the command.
The failure is determined by checking for a non-zero value of cmdstat.
The specific value of exitstat depends on both the processor and the specified value for the input argument wait.
Moreover, the processor may execute the specified command without failure even though exitstat indicates the occurrence of an error within the command.
As such, the output value of exitstat has no impact on the value of the output failed.

Possible calling interfaces ⛓

use pm_sysShell, only: isFailedExec
use pm_kind, only: LK
logical(LK) :: failed
 
failed = isFailedExec(command, wait = wait, exitstat = exitstat, cmdstat = cmdstat, cmdmsg = cmdmsg)

Warning

This procedure is prone to abuse by requesting to run system commands with devastating consequences.

Remarks

The procedures under discussion are impure.

The procedures under discussion are elemental.

Test:

Todo:

Low Priority: The current Fortran standard 202x does not allow passing characters of non-default kind to Fortran intrinsic procedures.
This generic interface should be extended to in the future to support non-default character kinds when they fully supported by the Fortran intrinsic procedures.
