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]]
|
|
|
|
[import ../example/intro.cpp]
