/**
 * Contains utilities for dealing with {@link java.lang.Process}es.
 * Process Utilities
 * Dealing with {@link java.lang.Process} is NOT an easy task. The streams for
 * stdin, stdout, and stderr need to be 
 * transferred asynchronously. Creating a pipe is the typical task and is easily
 * done with a shell like 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.
