README

        

This project implements a C++ port program and Erlang application that gives
light-weight Erlang processes fine-grain control over execution of OS processes.

It makes possible for an Erlang process to start, stop an OS process, send
POSIX signals, know process IDs of the started OS process, set up a monitor
and/or link to it. This application provides better control over OS processes
than built-in erlang:open_port/2 command with a {spawn, Command} option, and
performs proper OS child process cleanup when the emulator exits.

See doc/html/index.html for more details.
