exec_modes

Go SDK Interactive Terminal Example

This example starts a real interactive shell inside the sandbox using ExecInteractive, attached directly to your local terminal.

It configures:

• raw terminal mode (so keystrokes are passed through correctly)
• initial terminal rows/cols
• SIGWINCH forwarding so resize events reach the guest PTY

Run

From the repository root:

go run ./examples/go/exec_modes

The example uses ./bin/matchlock by default. To override the binary path, set:

export MATCHLOCK_BIN=/path/to/matchlock

What To Expect

• A shell prompt from inside the sandbox (sh)
• Interactive behavior similar to matchlock run -it sh
• Exit by typing exit or pressing Ctrl-D

Note

ExecPipe is still available for bidirectional stdin/stdout/stderr without PTY. Use ExecInteractive when you need terminal semantics (prompt handling, readline, and resize behavior).
