Returns a
Process
that executes the process described by
command,
which is either a
String
or an
Array
of
Strings.
The process is run in the context of the optional
environment arguments, which can be expressed as a
NULL,
a number of
String
arguments
or an
Array
of
Strings.
Each
String
should be of the form:
name=value
When the enviroment is specified using an
Array
or
NULL,
then a final
String
argument can be used to specify the directory in which the process
is to be executed.
The
input,
output,
and
error
fields in the process returned by
exec
are streams that can be used to communicate with the process.
Data written to the
input
stream can be read by the process,
while output generated by the process can appear on the
output
or
error
streams.

On a UNIX-like system the program,
import yoix.system.*;
Process p = exec("date", "TZ=GMT");
stdout.nextline = p.output.nextline;
prints something like
Tue Aug 8 19:00:13 GMT 2000
on standard output.
