Clears both the stderr and stdout buffers

kill():Void

Kills the process with the system's available kill command. Kill signal: 9 (KILL)

start(?inlineExecution:Bool):Void

Starts the process and sets up the relevant threads for stream processing.

Parameters:

inlineExecution

If true, the process launches without additional output listener threads, waiting for exit code in the current thread, therefore it's a thread blocking function. Stdout, stderr data, pid, and exit code are only available after the process finishes

Stops the running process.

Parameters:

forced

If true, it tries to kill the process, if false, it closes the process handlers.
