Processes
=========

   When running on a Unix-style operating system `librep' allows you to
launch and control an arbitrary number of subprocesses. These
subprocesses can run either synchronously or asynchronously in respect
to the Lisp system; data can be sent to the `stdin' channel and any
output from the process is automatically written to a specified Lisp
output stream.

   Unless otherwise stated, all functions and variables described in the
following sections are exported by the `rep.io.processes' module.
