Async interface for working with processes.
This crate is an async version of `std::process`.
## Implementation
A background thread named "async-process" is lazily created on first use, which waits for
spawned child processes to exit and then calls the `wait()` syscall to clean up the "zombie"
processes. This is unlike the `process` API in the standard library, where dropping a running
`Child` leaks its resources.
This crate uses [`async-io`] for async I/O on Unix-like systems and [`blocking`] for async I/O
on Windows.
[`async-io`]: https://docs.rs/async-io
[`blocking`]: https://docs.rs/blocking
## Examples
Spawn a process and collect its output:
```rust
use async_process::Command;
let out = Command::new("echo").arg("hello").arg("world").output().await?;
assert_eq!(out.stdout, b"hello world\n");
```
Read the output line-by-line as it gets produced:
```rust
use async_process::{Command, Stdio};
use futures_lite::{io::BufReader, prelude::*};
let mut child = Command::new("find")
.arg(".")
.stdout(Stdio::piped())
.spawn()?;
let mut lines = BufReader::new(child.stdout.take().unwrap()).lines();
while let Some(line) = lines.next().await {
println!("{}", line?);
}
```
