# Subprocess

This go package used to Kills process and all child processes it spawned in Linux or Windows.

[![GoDoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/kirill-scherba/subprocess?status.svg)](https://godoc.org/github.com/kirill-scherba/subprocess/)

[![Go Report Card](https://goreportcard.com/badge/github.com/kirill-scherba/subprocess)](https://goreportcard.com/report/github.com/kirill-scherba/subprocess)

The main idea behind creating this package is that the Windows code part is

very large and it is not practical to copy this code to every project.

## Usage example

```go

package main

import "kirill-scherba/subprocess" 

func main() {

    // Create some process, f.e. run exec.Run() function which execute buch 

    // file with subprocesses

    // 

    // var cmd *exec.Cmd

    // var err error

    // cmd, err = exec.Run("executable_name", "parameter")

    // ...

    // Use the KillProcessTree function when you want stop execution started 

    // process and all its child process.

    //

    // Kill the process and all its children

    err = subprocess.KillProcessTree(cmd.Process.Pid)

    if err != nil {

        return

    }

    // ...

}

```
