| |
| Boost.Process is a library to manage system processes. It can be used to: |
| |
| * create child processes |
| * setup streams for child processes |
| * communicate with child processes through streams (synchronously or asynchronously) |
| * wait for processes to exit (synchronously or asynchronously) |
| * terminate processes |
| |
| Here's a simple example of how to start a program with Boost.Process: |
| |
| [def ipstream [classref boost::process::ipstream ipstream]] |
| [def system [funcref boost::process::system system]] |
| [def std_out [globalref boost::process::std_out std_out]] |
| [def child [globalref boost::process::child child]] |
| [def boost/process.hpp [headerref boost/process.hpp boost/process.hpp]] |
| [def std::string [@http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/string/basic_string std::string]] |
| [def std::getline [@http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/string/basic_string/getline std::getline]] |
