/// Interface to a running subprocess.
///
/// `Popen` is the parent's interface to a created subprocess.  The
/// child process is started in the constructor, so owning a `Popen`
/// value indicates that the specified program has been successfully
/// launched.  To prevent accumulation of zombie processes, the child
/// is waited upon when a `Popen` goes out of scope, which can be
/// prevented using the [`detach`] method.
///
/// Depending on how the subprocess was configured, its input, output, and
/// error streams can be connected to the parent and available as [`stdin`],
/// [`stdout`], and [`stderr`] public fields.  If you need to read the output
/// and errors into memory (or provide input as a memory slice), use the
/// [`communicate`] family of methods.
///
/// `Popen` instances can be obtained with the [`create`] method, or
/// using the [`popen`] method of the [`Exec`] type.  Subprocesses
/// can be connected into pipes, most easily achieved using using
/// [`Exec`].
