Display help for this object

Usage:

  help(help_type = getOption("help_type"))

Arguments:

• help_type: Passed to utils::help, can be one of "text", "html" or "pdf" (or an abbreviation). By default it uses the value getOption("help_type")and should follow the same behaviour as other R help (e.g., using "?")

Usage:

  id()

inspect

Usage:

  inspect(reload = TRUE)

reload

Refresh infomation on the exec instance from the server, returning $inspect()invisibly.

Usage:

  reload()

exec_resize

Resize an exec instance. Resize the TTY session used by an exec instance. This endpoint only works if ttywas specified as part of creating and starting the exec instance.

Usage:

  exec_resize(h = NULL, w = NULL)

Arguments:

• h: Height of the TTY session in characters

• w: Width of the TTY session in characters

exec_start

Start an exec instance. Starts a previously set up exec instance. If detach is true, this endpoint returns immediately after starting the command. Otherwise, it sets up an interactive session with the command.

Usage:

  exec_start(detach = FALSE, tty = NULL, stream = stdout())

Arguments:

• detach: Detach from the command.

• tty: Allocate a pseudo-TTY.

• stream: The stream to send output to. Options here are (1) a connection object (e.g. stdout(), stderr()or a writable open file connection object, (2) a scalar character indicating a filename to write to, or (3) FALSEor NULLto disable any output.
