+/**
+ * Child process invocation, monitoring and control.
+ *
+ * @sect General usage and features
+ *
+ *This class allows a KDE application to start child processes without having
+ *to worry about UN*X signal handling issues and zombie process reaping.
+ *
+ *@see KProcIO
+ *
+ *Basically, this class distinguishes three different ways of running
+ *child processes:
+ *
+ *@li  OProcess::DontCare -- The child process is invoked and both the child
+ *process and the parent process continue concurrently.
+ *
+ *Starting a  DontCare child process means that the application is
+ *not interested in any notification to determine whether the
+ *child process has already exited or not.
+ *
+ *@li  OProcess::NotifyOnExit -- The child process is invoked and both the
+ *child and the parent process run concurrently.
+ *
+ *When the child process exits, the OProcess instance
+ *corresponding to it emits the Qt signal @ref processExited().
+ *
+ *Since this signal is @em not emitted from within a UN*X
+ *signal handler, arbitrary function calls can be made.
+ *
+ *Be aware: When the OProcess objects gets destructed, the child
+ *process will be killed if it is still running!
+ *This means in particular, that you cannot use a OProcess on the stack
+ *with OProcess::NotifyOnExit.
+ *
+ *@li  OProcess::Block -- The child process starts and the parent process
+ *is suspended until the child process exits. (@em Really not recommended
+ *for programs with a GUI.)
+ *
+ *OProcess also provides several functions for determining the exit status
+ *and the pid of the child process it represents.
+ *
+ *Furthermore it is possible to supply command-line arguments to the process
+ *in a clean fashion (no null -- terminated stringlists and such...)
+ *
+ *A small usage example:
+ *<pre>
+ *OProcess *proc = new OProcess;
+ *
+ **proc << "my_executable";
+ **proc << "These" << "are" << "the" << "command" << "line" << "args";
+ *QApplication::connect(proc, SIGNAL(processExited(OProcess *)),
+ *                      pointer_to_my_object, SLOT(my_objects_slot(OProcess *)));
+ *proc->start();
+ *</pre>
+ *
+ *This will start "my_executable" with the commandline arguments "These"...
+ *
+ *When the child process exits, the respective Qt signal will be emitted.
+ *
+ *@sect Communication with the child process
+ *
+ *OProcess supports communication with the child process through
+ *stdin/stdout/stderr.
+ *
+ *The following functions are provided for getting data from the child
+ *process or sending data to the child's stdin (For more information,
+ *have a look at the documentation of each function):
+ *
+ *@li bool @ref writeStdin(char  *buffer, int  buflen);
+ *@li  -- Transmit data to the child process's stdin.
+ *
+ *@li bool @ref closeStdin();
+ *@li -- Closes the child process's stdin (which causes it to see an  feof(stdin)).
+ *Returns false if you try to close stdin for a process that has been started
+ *without a communication channel to stdin.
+ *
+ *@li bool @ref closeStdout();
+ *@li -- Closes the child process's stdout.
+ *Returns false if you try to close stdout for a process that has been started
+ *without a communication channel to stdout.
+ *
+ *@li bool @ref closeStderr();
+ *@li -- Closes the child process's stderr.
+ *Returns false if you try to close stderr for a process that has been started
+ *without a communication channel to stderr.
+ *
+ *
+ *@sect QT signals:
+ *
+ *@li void @ref receivedStdout(OProcess  *proc, char  *buffer, int  buflen);
+ *@li  void @ref receivedStderr(OProcess  *proc, char  *buffer, int  buflen);
+ *@li  -- Indicates that new data has arrived from either the
+ *child process's stdout or stderr.
+ *
+ *@li  void @ref wroteStdin(OProcess  *proc);
+ *@li  -- Indicates that all data that has been sent to the child process
+ *by a prior call to @ref writeStdin() has actually been transmitted to the
+ *client .
+ *
+ *@author Christian Czezakte e9025461@student.tuwien.ac.at
