Inherit create_process: inherit create_process : create_process
Description: Based on create_process.

Method create

Process.Process Process.Process(string|array(string) command_args, mapping(string:mixed)|void modifiers)

Parameter command_args

Either a command line array, as the command_args argument to create_process(), or a string that will be splitted into a command line array by calling split_quoted_string() in an operating system dependant mode.

Parameter modifiers

In addition to the modifiers that create_process accepts, this object also accepts

`"read_callback" : function(Process:void)`	This callback is called when there is data to be read from the process.
`"timeout_callback" : function(Process:void)`	This callback is called if the process times out.
`"timeout" : int`	The time it takes for the process to time out. Default is 15 seconds.
`"forkd" : bool`	Use Tools.Standalone.forkd to actually spawn the process.

Note

The default value for the "forkd" modifier may be set via set_forkd_default().
