如何使用Erlang port 和外部程序交互

一个小例子来描述如何用Erlang port和外部程序（本例中用GDB）交互。

Erlang/OTP 19 [erts-8.1] [source] [64-bit] [smp:8:8] [async-threads:10] [hipe] [kernel-poll:false]

Eshell V8.1  (abort with ^G)

注释: 清除之前定义的变量

1> f().

ok

注释: 打开port，并用binary 方式进行通信，得到port id

2> Port=open_port({spawn,"/usr/bin/gdb   /erlang/test/a.out "},[binary,{line, 255}]). 

#Port<0.451>

注释: flush the buffer, 显示port接收到的内容

3> flush().
Shell got {#Port<0.451>,{data,{eol,<<"GNU gdb (GDB) SUSE (7.5.1-0.7.29)">>}}}
Shell got {#Port<0.451>,
           {data,{eol,<<"Copyright (C) 2012 Free Software Foundation, Inc.">>}}}
Shell got {#Port<0.451>,
           {data,{eol,<<"License GPLv3+: GNU GPL version 3 or later <http://gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html>">>}
