[Boost-users] Spawning processes and pipes

Hello,

I am after a library that will let me do something like the following, and I
was wondering whether there were Boost libraries that would help.

/*
 *  some pseudo code ...
 */

Process process("c:\someApp.exe");

process.spawn();

Process::WriteHandle WriteHandle = process.get_write_handle();
Process::ReadHandle  ReadHandle  = process.get_read_handle();

while(process.good())
{
        std::string sz_output;

        sz_output << ReadHandle;

        if(sz_output == "Continue?")
        {
                "Yes" >> WriteHandle;

                // etc
        }
}

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Gaz
