dtact-util 0.2.0

Async utilities for Dtact: I/O, filesystem, process, signal, stream and timer primitives with lock-free native (io_uring/IOCP/kqueue) and tokio backends. Designed for hardware-level control and non-blocking heterogeneous orchestration.
Documentation
//! C FFI for [`crate::process`]: spawn a child, configure/read/write its
//! stdio pipes, wait for exit, kill.
//!
//! Stdio configuration is a bitmask passed to [`dtact_util_process_spawn`]:
//! set [`DTACT_STDIN_PIPE`] / [`DTACT_STDOUT_PIPE`] / [`DTACT_STDERR_PIPE`]
//! to route that stream through a pipe you can then read/write from C;
//! unset bits inherit the parent's corresponding handle.
