  ## Starts a process. `Command` is the executable file, `workingDir` is the
  ## process's working directory. If ``workingDir == ""`` the current directory
  ## is used. `args` are the command line arguments that are passed to the
  ## process. On many operating systems, the first command line argument is the
  ## name of the executable. `args` should not contain this argument!
  ## `env` is the environment that will be passed to the process.
  ## If ``env == nil`` the environment is inherited of
  ## the parent process. `options` are additional flags that may be passed
  ## to `startProcess`. See the documentation of ``ProcessOption`` for the
  ## meaning of these flags. You need to `close` the process when done.
  ##
  ## Note that you can't pass any `args` if you use the option
  ## ``poEvalCommand``, which invokes the system shell to run the specified
  ## `command`. In this situation you have to concatenate manually the contents
  ## of `args` to `command` carefully escaping/quoting any special characters,
  ## since it will be passed *as is* to the system shell. Each system/shell may
  ## feature different escaping rules, so try to avoid this kind of shell
  ## invocation if possible as it leads to non portable software.

  ## but ``EOS`` is raised in case of an error.
