Welcome to the ChildProcess wiki!

Goals

Provide cross-platform APIs for:

• Creating a child process and interacting with it
• Ensuring termination of child processes

Non-Goals

• Obtaining statistics of a process
• Creating a resident process
  • Such procedure is inherently platform-specific.
  • On Windows, closing a pseudo console terminates applications inside the pseudo console.
  • On *nix, a child process must employ so-called double fork technique to reside in an appropriate session.

1.0 Roadmap

1. Finalize API
2. 1.0

Post 1.0 candidates

• Windows GUI Process Handling
• Resource limit
• Preferred NUMA node & Affinity
• ProcessPriorityClas
• Other fine tunes...
