_process_cli.py

"""cli-specific implementation of process utilities.

cli - Common Language Infrastructure for IronPython. Code
      can run on any operating system. Check os.name for os-
      specific settings.

This file is only meant to be imported by process.py, not by end-users.

This file is largely untested. To become a full drop-in process
interface for IronPython will probably require you to help fill
in the details.
