|
* An instance of a subclass of <code>Process</code> is created by the
|
|
* <code>Runtime.exec</code> methods. Methods in <code>Process</code>
|
|
* provide a means to send input to a process, obtain the output from a
|
|
* subprocess, destroy a subprocess, obtain the exit value from a
|
|
* subprocess, and wait for a subprocess to complete.
|
|
*
|
|
* <p>This is dependent on the platform, and some processes (like native
|
|
* windowing processes, 16-bit processes in Windows, or shell scripts) may
|
|
* be limited in functionality. Because some platforms have limited buffers
|
|
* between processes, you may need to provide input and read output to prevent
|
|
* the process from blocking, or even deadlocking.
|
|
*
|
|
* <p>Even if all references to this object disapper, the process continues
|
|
* to execute to completion. There are no guarantees that the
|
|
* subprocess execute asynchronously or concurrently with the process which
|
|
* owns this object.
