Introduction

The procreate library provides a simple but powerful api for process creation, with a thin, cross-platform wrapper around Open4.background.

Ara Howard’s Open4 library does the heavy lifting on POSIX systems, and a compatible Open4 implementation is included for windows use.

The primary documentation is for the Process.create method.

TODO

  • Some useful tests.

  • Perhaps use separate platform gems so linux can depend on open4 gem, and windows on windows api.
