/**
 * A <b>Process</b> represent an operating system process. A new Process 
 * object is created via Command_execute(). 
 * 
 * The sub-process represented by this Process does not have its own terminal 
 * or console. All its standard I/O (i.e. stdin, stdout, stderr) operations 
 * will be redirected to the parent process where they can be accessed using 
 * the streams obtained using the methods Process_getOutputStream(), 
 * Process_getInputStream(), and Process_getErrorStream(). Your program can 
 * then use these streams to feed input to and get output from the sub-process.
 * 
 * The sub-process continues executing until it stops or until either 
 * Process_free() is called or it is terminated with either Process_terminate()
 * or Process_kill().
 *
 * <h4>Environment</h4>
 * The Process does <em>not</em> inherit the environment from the calling 
 * process and has only a spartan PATH set by default; defined by 
 * Command_Path. Clients should call Command_setEnv() to set environment 
 * variables as needed <em>before</em> calling Command_execute()
 *
 * @see Command.h
