\class Q3Process
\brief The Q3Process class is used to start external programs and
to communicate with them.
\compat
You can write to the started program's standard input, and can
read the program's standard output and standard error. You can
pass command line arguments to the program either in the
constructor or with setArguments() or addArgument(). The program's
working directory can be set with setWorkingDirectory(). If you
need to set up environment variables pass them to the start() or
launch() functions (see below). The processExited() signal is
emitted if the program exits. The program's exit status is
available from exitStatus(), although you could simply call
normalExit() to see if the program terminated normally.
There are two different ways to start a process. If you just want
to run a program, optionally passing data to its standard input at
the beginning, use one of the launch() functions. If you want full
control of the program's standard input (especially if you don't
know all the data you want to send to standard input at the
beginning), use the start() function.
If you use start() you can write to the program's standard input
using writeToStdin() and you can close the standard input with
closeStdin(). The wroteToStdin() signal is emitted if the data
sent to standard input has been written. You can read from the
program's standard output using readStdout() or readLineStdout().
These functions return an empty QByteArray if there is no data to
read. The readyReadStdout() signal is emitted when there is data
available to be read from standard output. Standard error has a
set of functions that correspond to the standard output functions,
i.e. readStderr(), readLineStderr() and readyReadStderr().
If you use one of the launch() functions the data you pass will be
sent to the program's standard input which will be closed once all
the data has been written. You should \e not use writeToStdin() or
closeStdin() if you use launch(). If you need to send data to the
program's standard input after it has started running use start()
instead of launch().
Both start() and launch() can accept a string list of strings each
of which has the format, key=value, where the keys are the names
of environment variables.
You can test to see if a program is running with isRunning(). The
program's process identifier is available from
processIdentifier(). If you want to terminate a running program
use tryTerminate(), but note that the program may ignore this. If
you \e really want to terminate the program, without it having any
chance to clean up, you can use kill().
Although you may need quotes for a file named on the command line
(e.g. if it contains spaces) you shouldn't use extra quotes for
arguments passed to addArgument() or setArguments().
The readyReadStdout() signal is emitted when there is new data on
standard output. This happens asynchronously: you don't know if
more data will arrive later.
In the above example you could connect the processExited() signal
to the slot UicManager::readFromStdout() instead. If you do so,
you will be certain that all the data is available when the slot
is called. On the other hand, you must wait until the process has
finished before doing any processing.
Note that if you are expecting a lot of output from the process,
you may hit platform-dependent limits to the pipe buffer size. The
solution is to make sure you connect to the output, e.g. the
readyReadStdout() and readyReadStderr() signals and read the data
as soon as it becomes available.
Please note that Q3Process does not emulate a shell. This means that
Q3Process does not do any expansion of arguments: a '*' is passed as a '*'
to the program and is \e not replaced by all the files, a '$HOME' is also
passed literally and is \e not replaced by the environment variable HOME
and the special characters for IO redirection ('>', '|', etc.) are also
passed literally and do \e not have the special meaning as they have in a
shell.
Also note that Q3Process does not emulate a terminal. This means that
certain programs which need direct terminal control, do not work as
expected with Q3Process. Such programs include console email programs (like
pine and mutt) but also programs which require the user to enter a password
(like su and ssh).
\section1 Notes for Windows users
Some Windows commands, for example, \c dir, are not provided by
separate applications, but by the command interpreter.
If you attempt to use Q3Process to execute these commands directly
it won't work. One possible solution is to execute the command
interpreter itself (\c cmd.exe on some Windows systems), and ask
the interpreter to execute the desired command.
Under Windows there are certain problems starting 16-bit applications
and capturing their output. Microsoft recommends using an intermediate
application to start 16-bit applications.

\enum Q3Process::Communication
This enum type defines the communication channels connected to the
process.
\value Stdin Data can be written to the process's standard input.
\value Stdout Data can be read from the process's standard
output.
\value Stderr Data can be read from the process's standard error.
\value DupStderr Both the process's standard error output \e and
its standard output are written to its standard output. (Like
Unix's dup2().) This means that nothing is sent to the standard
error output. This is especially useful if your application
requires that the output on standard output and on standard error
must be read in the same order that they are produced. This is a
flag, so to activate it you must pass \c{Stdout|Stderr|DupStderr},
or \c{Stdin|Stdout|Stderr|DupStderr} if you want to provide input,
to the setCommunication() call.

Q3Process does not perform argument substitutions; for example, if you
specify "*" or "$DISPLAY", these values are passed to the process
literally. If you want to have the same behavior as the shell
provides, you must do the substitutions yourself; i.e. instead of
specifying a "*" you must specify the list of all the filenames in
the current directory, and instead of "$DISPLAY" you must specify
the value of the environment variable \c DISPLAY.
Note for Windows users. The standard Windows shells, e.g. \c
command.com and \c cmd.exe, do not perform file globbing, i.e.
they do not convert a "*" on the command line into a list of files
in the current directory. For this reason most Windows
applications implement their own file globbing, and as a result of
this, specifying an argument of "*" for a Windows application is
likely to result in the application performing a file glob and
ending up with a list of filenames.

\fn bool Q3Process::start( QStringList *env )
Tries to run a process for the command and arguments that were
specified with setArguments(), addArgument() or that were
specified in the constructor. The command is searched for in the
path for executable programs; you can also use an absolute path in
the command itself.
If \a env is null, then the process is started with the same
environment as the starting process. If \a env is non-null, then
the values in the stringlist are interpreted as environment
setttings of the form \c {key=value} and the process is started in
these environment settings. For convenience, there is a small
exception to this rule: under Unix, if \a env does not contain any
settings for the environment variable \c LD_LIBRARY_PATH, then
this variable is inherited from the starting process; under
Windows the same applies for the environment variable \c PATH.
Returns true if the process could be started; otherwise returns
false.
You can write data to the process's standard input with
writeToStdin(). You can close standard input with closeStdin() and
you can terminate the process with tryTerminate(), or with kill().
You can call this function even if you've used this instance to
create a another process which is still running. In such cases,
Q3Process closes the old process's standard input and deletes
pending data, i.e., you lose all control over the old process, but
the old process is not terminated. This applies also if the
process could not be started. (On operating systems that have
zombie processes, Qt will also wait() on the old process.)

Terminates the process. This is not a safe way to end a process

is to do something like this:

This tries to terminate the process the nice way. If the process
is still running after 5 seconds, it terminates the process the
hard way. The timeout should be chosen depending on the time the
process needs to do all its cleanup: use a higher value if the
process is likely to do a lot of computation or I/O on cleanup.

Returns true if the process could be started; otherwise returns

Note that you should not use the slots writeToStdin() and

You can call this function even when a process that was started
