Overview

The Processunit contains the code for the TProcesscomponent, a cross-platform component to start and control other programs, offering also access to standard input and output for these programs.

TProcessdoes not handle wildcard expansion, does not support complex pipelines as in Unix. If this behaviour is desired, the shell can be executed with the pipeline as the command it should execute.
