tiny-process-library Build Status

A small platform independent library making it simple to create and stop new processes in C++, as well as writing to stdin and reading from stdout and stderr of a new process.

This library was created for, and is used by the C++ IDE project juCi++.

Features

  • No external dependencies
  • Simple to use
  • Platform independent
    • Creating processes using executables is supported on all platforms
    • Creating processes using functions is only possible on Unix-like systems
  • Read separately from stdout and stderr using anonymous functions
  • Write to stdin
  • Kill a running process (SIGTERM is supported on Unix-like systems)
  • Correctly closes file descriptors/handles

Usage

See examples.cpp.
