proc

Run and manage OS processes with an extensible and testable API.

Features

Most use cases of running processes are typically handled by importing and using dart:io and using the Process class. However, the proc library provides a more flexible and extensible API for running and managing processes.

• Setting default parameters for launching processes.
• Cross-platform APIs that do not require dart:io.
• Create and manage individual processes using ProcessController.
• Emulate a file system like environment using ExecutableContainer.

Usage

import 'package:proc/proc.dart';

void main() async {
  final tool = p.join('tool', 'echo.dart');
  final host = ProcessHost();
  final proc = await host.start(tool, ['stdout']);
}
