Boost.Process is a library to manage system processes. It can be used to:

• create child processes
• setup streams for child processes
• communicate with child processes through streams (synchronously or asynchronously)
• wait for processes to exit (synchronously or asynchronously)
• terminate processes

This project was developed under the Summer of Code 2006 program by myself, later abandoned for a while, and finally picked up by some other developers who pushed it forward and are maintaining it to this day.
