60 * @brief execute an external command
62 * This class allows launche an external command-line application
63 * opening a full-duplex connection to its standard I/O.
65 * In Ardour context it is used to launch xjadeo and ffmpeg.
67 * The \ref write_to_stdin function provides for injecting data into STDIN
68 * of the child-application while output of the program to STDOUT/STDERR is
69 * forwarded using the \ref ReadStdout signal.
70 * \ref Terminated is sent if the child application exits.

78 * This function takes over the existing environment variable and provides
79 * an easy way to speciy command-line arguments for the new process.
81 * Note: The argument parser does not interpret quotation-marks and splits
82 * arugments on whitespace. The argument string can be empty.
83 * The alternative constructor below allows to specify quoted parameters
