How to use the library?

First, copy the include folder to your project. Note that this library uses CMake. To include with CMake, just add those lines to youe CMake project:

    ...
    include_directories(include)
    add_subdirectory(include/cmdexecutor)

    // add_executable(...)
    target_link_libraries(YourProject PRIVATE CmdExecutor)

After including the library to your project, Let's run a simple command:

    auto exec = Executor();
    ExecutorResult result = exec.run_command("whoami");

We can check also the exit code of our execution:

    std::cout << "Output: " + result.get_result() << std::endl;
    std::cout << "Exit code: " + std::string(result.get_exit_code()) << std::endl;
