Package: libprocess-cpp3 (3.0.1-9)

C++11 library for handling processes (runtime libraries)

process-cpp is a simple and straightforward wrapper around process creation and control. It helps both with handling child processes and with interacting with the current process. Some of its features include:

 - Thread-safe get/set/unset operation on the current process's environment.
 - Throwing and non-throwing overloads of functions when system calls are
   involved.
 - Seamless redirection of input, output and error streams of child processes.
 - Type-safe interaction with the virtual proc filesystem, both for reading &
   writing.

The library's main purpose is to assist in testing and when a software component needs to carry out process creation/control tasks, e.g., a graphical shell. To this end, the library is extensively tested and tries to ensure fail-safe operation as much as possible.

This package includes the process-cpp runtime libraries.
