Operating System Utilities
==========================


.. c:function:: PyObject* PyOS_FSPath(PyObject *path)

   Return the file system representation for *path*. If the object is a
   :class:`str` or :class:`bytes` object, then a new
   :term:`strong reference` is returned.
   If the object implements the :class:`os.PathLike` interface,
   then :meth:`~os.PathLike.__fspath__` is returned as long as it is a
   :class:`str` or :class:`bytes` object. Otherwise :exc:`TypeError` is raised
   and ``NULL`` is returned.

   .. versionadded:: 3.6


.. c:function:: int Py_FdIsInteractive(FILE *fp, const char *filename)

   Return true (nonzero) if the standard I/O file *fp* with name *filename* is
   deemed interactive.  This is the case for files for which ``isatty(fileno(fp))``
   is true.  If the :c:member:`PyConfig.interactive` is non-zero, this function
   also returns true if the *filename* pointer is ``NULL`` or if the name is equal to
   one of the strings ``'<stdin>'`` or ``'???'``.

   This function must not be called before Python is initialized.


.. c:function:: void PyOS_BeforeFork()

   Function to prepare some internal state before a process fork.  This
   should be called before calling :c:func:`fork` or any similar function
   that clones the current process.
   Only available on systems where :c:func:`fork` is defined.

   .. warning::
      The C :c:func:`fork` call should only be made from the
      :ref:`"main" thread <fork-and-threads>` (of the
      :ref:`"main" interpreter <sub-interpreter-support>`).  The same is
      true for ``PyOS_BeforeFork()``.

   .. versionadded:: 3.7


.. c:function:: void PyOS_AfterFork_Parent()

   Function to update some internal state after a process fork.  This
   should be called from the parent process after calling :c:func:`fork`
   or any similar function that clones the current process, regardless
   of whether process cloning was successful.
   Only available on systems where :c:func:`fork` is defined.

   .. warning::
      The C :c:func:`fork` call should only be made from the
      :ref:`"main" thread <fork-and-threads>` (of the
      :ref:`"main" interpreter <sub-interpreter-support>`).  The same is
      true for ``PyOS_AfterFork_Parent()``.

   .. versionadded:: 3.7


.. c:function:: void PyOS_AfterFork_Child()

   Function to update internal interpreter state after a process fork.
   This must be called from the child process after calling :c:func:`fork`,
   or any similar function that clones the current process, if there is
   any chance the process will call back into the Python interpreter.
   Only available on systems where :c:func:`fork` is defined.

   .. warning::
      The C :c:func:`fork` call should only be made from the
      :ref:`"main" thread <fork-and-threads>` (of the
      :ref:`"main" interpreter <sub-interpreter-support>`).  The same is
      true for ``PyOS_AfterFork_Child()``.

   .. versionadded:: 3.7

   .. seealso::
      :func:`os.register_at_fork` allows registering custom Python functions
      to be called by :c:func:`PyOS_BeforeFork()`,
      :c:func:`PyOS_AfterFork_Parent` and  :c:func:`PyOS_AfterFork_Child`.


.. c:function:: void PyOS_AfterFork()

   Function to update some internal state after a process fork; this should be
   called in the new process if the Python interpreter will continue to be used.
   If a new executable is loaded into the new process, this function does not need
   to be called.

   .. deprecated:: 3.7
      This function is superseded by :c:func:`PyOS_AfterFork_Child()`.


.. c:function:: int PyOS_CheckStack()

   .. index:: single: USE_STACKCHECK (C macro)

   Return true when the interpreter runs out of stack space.  This is a reliable
   check, but is only available when :c:macro:`!USE_STACKCHECK` is defined (currently
   on certain versions of Windows using the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler).
   :c:macro:`!USE_STACKCHECK` will be defined automatically; you should never
   change the definition in your own code.


.. c:type::  void (*PyOS_sighandler_t)(int)


.. c:function:: PyOS_sighandler_t PyOS_getsig(int i)

   Return the current signal handler for signal *i*.  This is a thin wrapper around
   either :c:func:`!sigaction` or :c:func:`!signal`.  Do not call those functions
   directly!


.. c:function:: PyOS_sighandler_t PyOS_setsig(int i, PyOS_sighandler_t h)

   Set the signal handler for signal *i* to be *h*; return the old signal handler.
   This is a thin wrapper around either :c:func:`!sigaction` or :c:func:`!signal`.  Do
   not call those functions directly!


.. c:function:: int PyOS_InterruptOccurred(void)

   Check if a :c:macro:`!SIGINT` signal has been received.

   Returns ``1`` if a :c:macro:`!SIGINT` has occurred and clears the signal flag,
   or ``0`` otherwise.

   In most cases, you should prefer :c:func:`PyErr_CheckSignals` over this function.
   :c:func:`!PyErr_CheckSignals` invokes the appropriate signal handlers
   for all pending signals, allowing Python code to handle the signal properly.
   This function only detects :c:macro:`!SIGINT` and does not invoke any Python
   signal handlers.

   This function is async-signal-safe and this function cannot fail.
   The caller must hold an :term:`attached thread state`.


.. c:function:: wchar_t* Py_DecodeLocale(const char* arg, size_t *size)

   .. warning::
      This function should not be called directly: use the :c:type:`PyConfig`
      API with the :c:func:`PyConfig_SetBytesString` function which ensures
      that :ref:`Python is preinitialized <c-preinit>`.

      This function must not be called before :ref:`Python is preinitialized
      <c-preinit>` and so that the LC_CTYPE locale is properly configured: see
      the :c:func:`Py_PreInitialize` function.

   Decode a byte string from the :term:`filesystem encoding and error handler`.
   If the error handler is :ref:`surrogateescape error handler
   <surrogateescape>`, undecodable bytes are decoded as characters in range
   U+DC80..U+DCFF; and if a byte sequence can be decoded as a surrogate
   character, the bytes are escaped using the surrogateescape error handler
   instead of decoding them.

   Return a pointer to a newly allocated wide character string, use
   :c:func:`PyMem_RawFree` to free the memory. If size is not ``NULL``, write
   the number of wide characters excluding the null character into ``*size``

   Return ``NULL`` on decoding error or memory allocation error. If *size* is
   not ``NULL``, ``*size`` is set to ``(size_t)-1`` on memory error or set to
   ``(size_t)-2`` on decoding error.

   The :term:`filesystem encoding and error handler` are selected by
   :c:func:`PyConfig_Read`: see :c:member:`~PyConfig.filesystem_encoding` and
   :c:member:`~PyConfig.filesystem_errors` members of :c:type:`PyConfig`.

   Decoding errors should never happen, unless there is a bug in the C
   library.

   Use the :c:func:`Py_EncodeLocale` function to encode the character string
   back to a byte string.

   .. seealso::

      The :c:func:`PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefaultAndSize` and
      :c:func:`PyUnicode_DecodeLocaleAndSize` functions.

   .. versionadded:: 3.5

   .. versionchanged:: 3.7
      The function now uses the UTF-8 encoding in the :ref:`Python UTF-8 Mode
      <utf8-mode>`.

   .. versionchanged:: 3.8
      The function now uses the UTF-8 encoding on Windows if
      :c:member:`PyPreConfig.legacy_windows_fs_encoding` is zero;


.. c:function:: char* Py_EncodeLocale(const wchar_t *text, size_t *error_pos)

   Encode a wide character string to the :term:`filesystem encoding and error
   handler`. If the error handler is :ref:`surrogateescape error handler
   <surrogateescape>`, surrogate characters in the range U+DC80..U+DCFF are
   converted to bytes 0x80..0xFF.

   Return a pointer to a newly allocated byte string, use :c:func:`PyMem_Free`
   to free the memory. Return ``NULL`` on encoding error or memory allocation
   error.

   If error_pos is not ``NULL``, ``*error_pos`` is set to ``(size_t)-1`` on
   success,  or set to the index of the invalid character on encoding error.

   The :term:`filesystem encoding and error handler` are selected by
   :c:func:`PyConfig_Read`: see :c:member:`~PyConfig.filesystem_encoding` and
   :c:member:`~PyConfig.filesystem_errors` members of :c:type:`PyConfig`.

   Use the :c:func:`Py_DecodeLocale` function to decode the bytes string back
   to a wide character string.

   .. warning::
      This function must not be called before :ref:`Python is preinitialized
      <c-preinit>` and so that the LC_CTYPE locale is properly configured: see
      the :c:func:`Py_PreInitialize` function.

   .. seealso::

      The :c:func:`PyUnicode_EncodeFSDefault` and
      :c:func:`PyUnicode_EncodeLocale` functions.

   .. versionadded:: 3.5

   .. versionchanged:: 3.7
      The function now uses the UTF-8 encoding in the :ref:`Python UTF-8 Mode
      <utf8-mode>`.

   .. versionchanged:: 3.8
      The function now uses the UTF-8 encoding on Windows if
      :c:member:`PyPreConfig.legacy_windows_fs_encoding` is zero.

.. c:function:: FILE* Py_fopen(PyObject *path, const char *mode)

   Similar to :c:func:`!fopen`, but *path* is a Python object and
   an exception is set on error.

   *path* must be a :class:`str` object, a :class:`bytes` object,
   or a :term:`path-like object`.

   On success, return the new file pointer.
   On error, set an exception and return ``NULL``.

   The file must be closed by :c:func:`Py_fclose` rather than calling directly
   :c:func:`!fclose`.

   The file descriptor is created non-inheritable (:pep:`446`).

   The caller must have an :term:`attached thread state`.

   .. versionadded:: 3.14


.. c:function:: int Py_fclose(FILE *file)

   Close a file that was opened by :c:func:`Py_fopen`.

   On success, return ``0``.
   On error, return ``EOF`` and ``errno`` is set to indicate the error.
   In either case, any further access (including another call to
   :c:func:`Py_fclose`) to the stream results in undefined behavior.

   .. versionadded:: 3.14


.. _systemfunctions:

System Functions
================

These are utility functions that make functionality from the :mod:`sys` module
accessible to C code.  They all work with the current interpreter thread's
:mod:`sys` module's dict, which is contained in the internal thread state structure.

.. c:function:: PyObject *PySys_GetObject(const char *name)

   Return the object *name* from the :mod:`sys` module or ``NULL`` if it does
   not exist, without setting an exception.

.. c:function:: int PySys_SetObject(const char *name, PyObject *v)

   Set *name* in the :mod:`sys` module to *v* unless *v* is ``NULL``, in which
   case *name* is deleted from the sys module. Returns ``0`` on success, ``-1``
   on error.

.. c:function:: void PySys_ResetWarnOptions()

   Reset :data:`sys.warnoptions` to an empty list. This function may be
   called prior to :c:func:`Py_Initialize`.

   .. deprecated-removed:: 3.13 3.15
      Clear :data:`sys.warnoptions` and :data:`!warnings.filters` instead.

.. c:function:: void PySys_WriteStdout(const char *format, ...)

   Write the output string described by *format* to :data:`sys.stdout`.  No
   exceptions are raised, even if truncation occurs (see below).

   *format* should limit the total size of the formatted output string to
   1000 bytes or less -- after 1000 bytes, the output string is truncated.
   In particular, this means that no unrestricted "%s" formats should occur;
   these should be limited using "%.<N>s" where <N> is a decimal number
   calculated so that <N> plus the maximum size of other formatted text does not
   exceed 1000 bytes.  Also watch out for "%f", which can print hundreds of
   digits for very large numbers.

   If a problem occurs, or :data:`sys.stdout` is unset, the formatted message
   is written to the real (C level) *stdout*.

.. c:function:: void PySys_WriteStderr(const char *format, ...)

   As :c:func:`PySys_WriteStdout`, but write to :data:`sys.stderr` or *stderr*
   instead.

.. c:function:: void PySys_FormatStdout(const char *format, ...)

   Function similar to PySys_WriteStdout() but format the message using
   :c:func:`PyUnicode_FromFormatV` and don't truncate the message to an
   arbitrary length.

   .. versionadded:: 3.2

.. c:function:: void PySys_FormatStderr(const char *format, ...)

   As :c:func:`PySys_FormatStdout`, but write to :data:`sys.stderr` or *stderr*
   instead.

   .. versionadded:: 3.2

.. c:function:: PyObject *PySys_GetXOptions()

   Return the current dictionary of :option:`-X` options, similarly to
   :data:`sys._xoptions`.  On error, ``NULL`` is returned and an exception is
   set.

   .. versionadded:: 3.2


.. c:function:: int PySys_Audit(const char *event, const char *format, ...)

   Raise an auditing event with any active hooks. Return zero for success
   and non-zero with an exception set on failure.

   The *event* string argument must not be *NULL*.

   If any hooks have been added, *format* and other arguments will be used
   to construct a tuple to pass. Apart from ``N``, the same format characters
   as used in :c:func:`Py_BuildValue` are available. If the built value is not
   a tuple, it will be added into a single-element tuple.

   The ``N`` format option must not be used. It consumes a reference, but since
   there is no way to know whether arguments to this function will be consumed,
   using it may cause reference leaks.

   Note that ``#`` format characters should always be treated as
   :c:type:`Py_ssize_t`, regardless of whether ``PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN`` was defined.

   :func:`sys.audit` performs the same function from Python code.

   See also :c:func:`PySys_AuditTuple`.

   .. versionadded:: 3.8

   .. versionchanged:: 3.8.2

      Require :c:type:`Py_ssize_t` for ``#`` format characters. Previously, an
      unavoidable deprecation warning was raised.


.. c:function:: int PySys_AuditTuple(const char *event, PyObject *args)

   Similar to :c:func:`PySys_Audit`, but pass arguments as a Python object.
   *args* must be a :class:`tuple`. To pass no arguments, *args* can be *NULL*.

   .. versionadded:: 3.13


.. c:function:: int PySys_AddAuditHook(Py_AuditHookFunction hook, void *userData)

   Append the callable *hook* to the list of active auditing hooks.
   Return zero on success
   and non-zero on failure. If the runtime has been initialized, also set an
   error on failure. Hooks added through this API are called for all
   interpreters created by the runtime.

   The *userData* pointer is passed into the hook function. Since hook
   functions may be called from different runtimes, this pointer should not
   refer directly to Python state.

   This function is safe to call before :c:func:`Py_Initialize`. When called
   after runtime initialization, existing audit hooks are notified and may
   silently abort the operation by raising an error subclassed from
   :class:`Exception` (other errors will not be silenced).

   The hook function is always called with an :term:`attached thread state` by
   the Python interpreter that raised the event.

   See :pep:`578` for a detailed description of auditing.  Functions in the
   runtime and standard library that raise events are listed in the
   :ref:`audit events table <audit-events>`.
   Details are in each function's documentation.

   .. audit-event:: sys.addaudithook "" c.PySys_AddAuditHook

      If the interpreter is initialized, this function raises an auditing event
      ``sys.addaudithook`` with no arguments. If any existing hooks raise an
      exception derived from :class:`Exception`, the new hook will not be
      added and the exception is cleared. As a result, callers cannot assume
      that their hook has been added unless they control all existing hooks.

   .. c:namespace:: NULL
   .. c:type:: int (*Py_AuditHookFunction) (const char *event, PyObject *args, void *userData)

      The type of the hook function.
      *event* is the C string event argument passed to :c:func:`PySys_Audit` or
      :c:func:`PySys_AuditTuple`.
      *args* is guaranteed to be a :c:type:`PyTupleObject`.
      *userData* is the argument passed to PySys_AddAuditHook().

   .. versionadded:: 3.8


.. _processcontrol:

Process Control
===============


.. c:function:: void Py_FatalError(const char *message)

   .. index:: single: abort (C function)

   Print a fatal error message and kill the process.  No cleanup is performed.
   This function should only be invoked when a condition is detected that would
   make it dangerous to continue using the Python interpreter; e.g., when the
   object administration appears to be corrupted.  On Unix, the standard C library
   function :c:func:`!abort` is called which will attempt to produce a :file:`core`
   file.

   The ``Py_FatalError()`` function is replaced with a macro which logs
   automatically the name of the current function, unless the
   ``Py_LIMITED_API`` macro is defined.

   .. versionchanged:: 3.9
      Log the function name automatically.


.. c:function:: void Py_Exit(int status)

   .. index::
      single: Py_FinalizeEx (C function)
      single: exit (C function)

   Exit the current process.  This calls :c:func:`Py_FinalizeEx` and then calls the
   standard C library function ``exit(status)``.  If :c:func:`Py_FinalizeEx`
   indicates an error, the exit status is set to 120.

   .. versionchanged:: 3.6
      Errors from finalization no longer ignored.


.. c:function:: int Py_AtExit(void (*func) ())

   .. index::
      single: Py_FinalizeEx (C function)
      single: cleanup functions

   Register a cleanup function to be called by :c:func:`Py_FinalizeEx`.  The cleanup
   function will be called with no arguments and should return no value.  At most
   32 cleanup functions can be registered.  When the registration is successful,
   :c:func:`Py_AtExit` returns ``0``; on failure, it returns ``-1``.  The cleanup
   function registered last is called first. Each cleanup function will be called
   at most once.  Since Python's internal finalization will have completed before
   the cleanup function, no Python APIs should be called by *func*.

   .. seealso::

      :c:func:`PyUnstable_AtExit` for passing a ``void *data`` argument.
