# tiny-process-library

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++](https://gitlab.com/cppit/jucipp).

### 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](examples.cpp).

### Get, compile and run

#### Unix-like systems

```sh

git clone http://gitlab.com/eidheim/tiny-process-library

cd tiny-process-library

mkdir build

cd build

cmake ..

make

./examples

```

#### Windows with MSYS2 (https://msys2.github.io/)

```sh

git clone http://gitlab.com/eidheim/tiny-process-library

cd tiny-process-library

mkdir build

cd build

cmake -G"MSYS Makefiles" ..

make

./examples

```
