Package Information

Descriptionkill the sub-process when the main process exits (library)

Golang doesn't provide a way for third-party packages to implicitly register a callback when the main process exits to do cleanups. If you fail to explicitly add proper code in your main to kill sub-processes that are created by third-party packages they may keep running after the main process exists or crashes.

Leakless ensures to kill the sub-process when the main process exits.

How it works:

1. Main process outputs a standalone executable file and executes it as a guard process. 2. A TCP connection is created between main process and the guard process. 3. The guard process starts the sub-process. 4. If the TCP connection is closed, the guard process will kill the sub- process.

This package contains the Go library.
