amphp/process
=============

[](#amphpprocess)

AMPHP is a collection of event-driven libraries for PHP designed with fibers and concurrency in mind. `amphp/process` provides an asynchronous process dispatcher that works on all major platforms (including Windows). It makes running child processes simple.

As Windows pipes are file handles and do not allow non-blocking access, this package makes use of a [process wrapper](https://github.com/amphp/windows-process-wrapper), that provides access to these pipes via sockets. On Unix-like systems it uses the standard pipes, as these can be accessed without blocking there. Concurrency is managed by the [Revolt](https://revolt.run/) event loop.
