DakarContrib

Detailed Documentation

To use it in your plugin code proceed as follows.

    $sandbox = new TWiki::Sandbox();
  } else {
    $sandbox = $TWiki::sharedSandbox;
  }

Call an external process

  my ($result, $errorCode) = $sandbox->sysCommand($cmdTemplate>, %params);

Normalize a filename

  $fileName = TWiki::Sandbox::normalizeFilename($fileName);
