/**
 * Provides the API for utilities that help to deal with {@link java.lang.Process}es. 
 * Process-Util API Dealing with {@link java.lang.Process} is NOT an easy task. The streams for {@code stdin},
 * {@code stdout}, and {@code stderr} need to be transferred asynchronously. Creating a pipe is the typical task and is
 * easily done with a shell like {@code bash}. However solving this with java is quite a little challenge if you do this
 * from scratch. Even worse there is a bug in java when creating processes via {@link java.lang.Runtime} which causes
 * that sub-processes are NOT terminated and keep running if a {@link java.lang.Process} is
 * {@link java.lang.Process#destroy() destroyed}. 

 * This package prevents you from those headaches by providing utilities that make it easier to deal with
 * {@link java.lang.Process}es. 

 * If you want to use this in a server application, you can inject an {@link java.util.concurrent.Executor} providing a
 * thread-pool.
