20/// A command to run inside a pseudoconsole.
21///
22/// Mirrors [`std::process::Command`]: the builder methods take `&mut self` and
23/// return `&mut Self`, so a whole invocation can be written as one expression.
24/// The differences from the standard library are the ones a pseudoconsole
25/// forces:
26///
27/// - There is no stdio configuration. The child's console *is* the
28/// pseudoconsole; its standard handles are deliberately set to
29/// `INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE` so a redirected parent cannot leak its own stdio
30/// into the child.
31/// - No handles are inherited (`bInheritHandles` is `FALSE`), because a leaked
32/// copy of the output pipe would keep the session from ever reaching
33/// end-of-file.
34/// - The child and every descendant it creates join a job object, which is
35/// what makes [`Child::kill`] terminate the whole tree.
36///
37/// A command is intentionally not `Clone`: managed spawning must not copy or
38/// mutate its potentially large argument and environment buffers.
39///
40/// ```compile_fail
41/// use conpty_oxide::blocking::Command;
42///
43/// fn requires_clone<T: Clone>() {}
44/// requires_clone::<Command>();
45/// ```
46///
47/// Low-level lifecycle and unvalidated process flags are intentionally absent:
48///
49/// ```compile_fail
50/// let mut command = conpty_oxide::blocking::Command::new("cmd.exe");
51/// command.creation_flags(0);
52/// ```
53///
54/// ```compile_fail
55/// let mut command = conpty_oxide::blocking::Command::new("cmd.exe");
56/// command.kill_on_drop(false);
57/// ```
58///
59/// ```compile_fail
60/// let mut command = conpty_oxide::blocking::Command::new("cmd.exe");
61/// command.spawn_in(());
62/// ```
