Running subprocesses
--------------------
Run subprocesses asynchronously using the :mod:`subprocess` module.
.. note::
On Windows, the default event loop uses
:class:`selectors.SelectSelector` which only supports sockets. The
:class:`ProactorEventLoop` should be used to support subprocesses.
.. note::
On Mac OS X older than 10.9 (Mavericks), :class:`selectors.KqueueSelector`
does not support character devices like PTY, whereas it is used by the
default event loop. The :class:`SelectorEventLoop` can be used with
:class:`SelectSelector` or :class:`PollSelector` to handle character devices
on Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and later.
.. method:: BaseEventLoop.subprocess_exec(protocol_factory, \*args, stdin=subprocess.PIPE, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, \*\*kwargs)
Create a subprocess from one or more string arguments, where the first string
specifies the program to execute, and the remaining strings specify the
program's arguments. (Thus, together the string arguments form the
``sys.argv`` value of the program, assuming it is a Python script.) This is
similar to the standard library :class:`subprocess.Popen` class called with
shell=False and the list of strings passed as the first argument;
however, where :class:`~subprocess.Popen` takes a single argument which is
list of strings, :func:`subprocess_exec` takes multiple string arguments.
Other parameters:
* *stdin*: Either a file-like object representing the pipe to be connected
to the subprocess's standard input stream using
:meth:`~BaseEventLoop.connect_write_pipe`, or the constant
:const:`subprocess.PIPE` (the default). By default a new pipe will be
created and connected.
* *stdout*: Either a file-like object representing the pipe to be connected
to the subprocess's standard output stream using
:meth:`~BaseEventLoop.connect_read_pipe`, or the constant
:const:`subprocess.PIPE` (the default). By default a new pipe will be
created and connected.
* *stderr*: Either a file-like object representing the pipe to be connected
to the subprocess's standard error stream using
:meth:`~BaseEventLoop.connect_read_pipe`, or one of the constants
:const:`subprocess.PIPE` (the default) or :const:`subprocess.STDOUT`.
By default a new pipe will be created and connected. When
:const:`subprocess.STDOUT` is specified, the subprocess's standard error
stream will be connected to the same pipe as the standard output stream.
* All other keyword arguments are passed to :class:`subprocess.Popen`
without interpretation, except for *bufsize*, *universal_newlines* and
*shell*, which should not be specified at all.
Returns a pair of ``(transport, protocol)``, where *transport* is an
instance of :class:`BaseSubprocessTransport`.
This method is a :ref:`coroutine <coroutine>`.
See the constructor of the :class:`subprocess.Popen` class for parameters.
.. method:: BaseEventLoop.subprocess_shell(protocol_factory, cmd, \*, stdin=subprocess.PIPE, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, \*\*kwargs)
Create a subprocess from *cmd*, which is a string using the platform's
"shell" syntax. This is similar to the standard library
:class:`subprocess.Popen` class called with ``shell=True``.
See :meth:`~BaseEventLoop.subprocess_exec` for more details about
the remaining arguments.
Returns a pair of ``(transport, protocol)``, where *transport* is an
instance of :class:`BaseSubprocessTransport`.
This method is a :ref:`coroutine <coroutine>`.
See the constructor of the :class:`subprocess.Popen` class for parameters.

==========
Create a subprocess
-------------------
Operating system support
------------------------
On Windows, the default event loop uses :class:`selectors.SelectSelector`
which only supports sockets. The :class:`ProactorEventLoop` should be used to
support subprocesses.
On Mac OS X older than 10.9 (Mavericks), :class:`selectors.KqueueSelector`
does not support character devices like PTY, whereas it is used by the
default event loop. The :class:`SelectorEventLoop` can be used with
:class:`SelectSelector` or :class:`PollSelector` to handle character
devices on Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and later.
Create a subprocess: high-level API using Process
-------------------------------------------------
.. function:: create_subprocess_shell(cmd, stdin=None, stdout=None, stderr=None, loop=None, limit=None, \*\*kwds)
Run the shell command *cmd* given as a string. Return a :class:`~asyncio.subprocess.Process`
instance.
The optional *limit* parameter sets the buffer limit passed to the
:class:`StreamReader`.
This function is a :ref:`coroutine <coroutine>`.
.. function:: create_subprocess_exec(\*args, stdin=None, stdout=None, stderr=None, loop=None, limit=None, \*\*kwds)
Create a subprocess. Return a :class:`~asyncio.subprocess.Process` instance.
The optional *limit* parameter sets the buffer limit passed to the
:class:`StreamReader`.
This function is a :ref:`coroutine <coroutine>`.
Use the :meth:`BaseEventLoop.connect_read_pipe` and
:meth:`BaseEventLoop.connect_write_pipe` methods to connect pipes.
Create a subprocess: low-level API using subprocess.Popen
---------------------------------------------------------
