CommandProc¶

The CommandProc executes a command on a specific content part of a message and stores the result in the message. This allows docproc to perform more complex tasks with external utilities.

Configuration¶

The CommandProc requires the following configuration entries:

[commandproc-config]
type  = CommandProc
read.from = inputfield
store.in = outputfield
store.base64 = false
exec = xsltproc --novalid myxslt.xslt

type

To configure a CommandProc, use CommandProc as type.

read.from

The path of the message’s content to pass to the command. The content will be stored in a temporary file and is passed as last argument to the exec command line.

store.in

The path to use on the message’s content to store the output result in.

store.base64

Indicates, if the output result must be base64-encoded. This is necessary, if e.g. the output is binary content, which must not be converted to a string.

The entry is optional and, if unset, assumed to be false.

exec

The command to execute. The configured content of the message will be stored in a temporary file and passed as last argument to the command. The exec configuration entry:

exec = xsltproc --novalid myxslt.xslt

thus effectively will be executed like:

xsltproc --novalid myxslt.xslt /tmp/tmp-12347-docproc-cmdproc
