3Boost.Process is a library to manage system processes. It can be used to:
4
5* create child processes
6* setup streams for child processes
7* communicate with child processes through streams (synchronously or asynchronously)
8* wait for processes to exit (synchronously or asynchronously)
9* terminate processes

11Here's a simple example of how to start a program with Boost.Process:
12
13[def ipstream  [classref boost::process::ipstream ipstream]]
14[def system [funcref boost::process::system system]]
15[def std_out [globalref boost::process::std_out std_out]]
16[def child [globalref boost::process::child child]]
17[def boost/process.hpp [headerref boost/process.hpp boost/process.hpp]]
18[def std::string [@http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/string/basic_string std::string]]
19[def std::getline [@http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/string/basic_string/getline std::getline]]
