+ * @par General usage and features
*
*This class allows a KDE and OPIE 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.

*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(Opie::Core::OProcess *)),
* pointer_to_my_object, SLOT(my_objects_slot(Opie::Core::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
+ *@par 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:
+ *@par 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 .
