2 ===========
3
4 process-cpp is a simple and straightforward wrapper around process creation and
5 control targeted towards linux. It helps both with handling child processes and with
6 interacting with the current process. Some of its features include:
7
8  - Thread-safe get/set/unset operation on the current process's environment.
9  - Throwing and non-throwing overloads of functions when system calls are involved.
10  - Seamless redirection of input, output and error streams of child processes.
11  - Type-safe interaction with the virtual proc filesystem, both for reading & writing.
12
13 The library's main purpose is to assist in testing and when a software component
14 needs to carry out process creation/control tasks, e.g., a graphical shell. To this end,
15 the library is extensively tested and tries to ensure fail-safe operation as much as possible.
