33 * Low level process routines.
35 * This code manages child processes. We can communicate with child
36 * processes using signals. Because signals are not supported on W32
37 * and Java (at least not nicely), we can alternatively use a pipe
38 * to send signals to the child processes (if the child process is
39 * a full-blown GNUnet process that supports reading signals from
40 * a pipe, of course). Naturally, this also only works for 'normal'
41 * termination via signals, and not as a replacement for SIGKILL.
42 * Thus using pipes to communicate signals should only be enabled if
43 * the child is a Java process OR if we are on Windoze.
