+[section:introduction Introduction]
+
+Boost.process V2 is an redesign of boost.process, based on previous 
+design mistakes & improved system APIs.
+
+The major changes are
+
+* Simplified interface
+* Reliance on pidfd_open on linux
+* Full asio integration
+* Removed unreliable functionality
+* UTF8 Support
+* separate compilation
+* fd safe by default
+
+[section:simplified Simplified Interface]
+
+In process v1 one can define partial settings in the constructor of the process, 
+which has lead to a small DSL.
+
+ child c{exe="test", args+="--help", std_in < null(), env["FOO"] += "BAR"};
+
+While this looks fancy at first, it really does not scale well with more parameters.
+For process v2, the interfaces is simple: 
+
+ extern std::unordered_map<std::string, std::string> my_env;
+ extern asio::io_context ctx;
+ process proc(ctx, "./test", {"--help"}, process_io{nullptr, {}, {}}, process_environment(my_env));
+
+Every initializer adresses one logical compoent (e.g. stdio) instead of multiple ones accumulating.
+Furthermore, every process has a path and arguments, instead of a confusing mixture of cmd-style and 
+exe-args that can be randomly spread out.
+
+[endsect]
+
+[section:pidfd_open pidfd_open]
+
+Since process v1 came out, linux has moved along and added pidfd_open which allows users to get a 
+file descriptor for a process. This is much more reliable since it is not as easy to miss as a `SIGCHLD`.
+FreeBSD has a similar feature with `pdfork` which is also supported, while windows has provided `HANDLE`s 
+for processes all along.
+Unless the OS doesn't support it, process v2 will use file descriptors and handles to implement waiting 
+for processes.
+
+[endsect]
+
+[section:asio Full asio integration]
+
+Process v1 aimed to make asio optional, but synchronous IO with subprocesses usually means one is begging 
+for deadlocks.
+Since asio added pipes in boost 1.78, boost process V2 is fully asio based and uses it's pipes and 
+file-handles for the subprocess.
+
+[endsect]
+
+[section:unreliable Unreliable functionality]
+
+Certain parts of boost.process were not as reliable as they should've been. 
+
+This concerns especially the `wait_for`` and `wait_until` functions on the process.
+The latter are easy to do on windows, but posix does not provide an API for this. 
+Thus the wait_for used signals or fork, which was all but safe. 
+Since process v2 is based on asio and thus supports cancellation, 
+a wait_for can not safely be implemented with an async_wait + timeout.
+
+[endsect]
+
+[section:utf8 UTF-8]
+
+["UTF-8 or GTFO]--Vinnie Falco
+
+Instead of using ascii-APIs on windows, process V2 just assumes UTF-8 everywhere.
+
+[endsect]
+
+[section:src Separate compilation]
+
+Boost.process v2 supports separate compilation similar to other boost libraries. 
+It can be achieved by defining `BOOST_PROCESS_V2_SEPARATE_COMPILATION` and including 
+`<process/v2/src.hpp>` in a single compile unit.
+
+[endsect]
+
+[section:limit_fd Fd safe by default]
+
+While not a problem on windows (since HANDLEs get manually enabled for inheritance),
+posix systems create a problem with inheriting file handles by default.
+
+Process V2 will automatically close all non-whitelisted descriptors, 
+without needing any option to enable it.

+The process creation is done by a process_launcher.

+A launcher is invoked through the call operator.
+

+    asio::io_context ctx;
+    boost::system::eror_code ec;
+    auto proc = l(ctx, ec, "C:\\User\\boost\\Downloads\\totally_not_a_virus.exe", {});
+```
+
+The launcher will call certain functions on the initializer if they're present, as documented below.
+The initializer are used to modify the process behaviour.
+
+[section:linux Linux Launchers]
+
+The default and pdfork launchers on linux open an internal pipe to communicate errors that occur after forking back to the parent process.
+
+This can be prevented by using the `fork_and_forget_launcher`. 
+Alternatively, the `vfork_launcher` can report errors directly back to the parent process.
+
+Thus some calls to the initializers occur after forking from the child process.
+
+```
+    struct custom_initalizer
+    {
+        // functions called from the parent process:
+
+
+        // called before a call to fork. A returned error will cancel the launch.

+        error_code on_setup(Launcher & launcher, const filesystem::path &executable, const char * const * (&cmd_line));

+        void on_error(Launcher & launcher, const filesystem::path &executable, const char * const * (&cmd_line),
+                      const error_code & ec);

+        void on_fork_error(Launcher & launcher, const filesystem::path &executable, const char * const * (&cmd_line),

+A process needs four things to be launched:
+
+* an asio execution_context / executor 
+* a path to an executable
+* a list of arguments
+* a variadic set of initializers
+
+```
+     // process(asio::any_io_executor, filesystem::path, range<string> args, AdditionalInitializers...)
+    asio::io_context ctx;
+    process proc(ctx, "/usr/bin/cp", {"source.txt", "target.txt"});

+The started process can then be awaited or terminated.
+
+[section:lifetime Lifetime]
+
+If the process handle goes out of scope, it will terminate the subprocess.
+You can prevent this, by calling `proc.detach()`; do however note that this 
+can lead to zombie processes.
+
+A process that completed will deliver an exit-code, 
+which can be obtained by calling `.exit_code` on the exited process and which is
+also returned from `.wait()`.
+
+```
+ process proc("/bin/ls", {});
+ assert(proc.wait() == 0);
+```
+
+The normal exit-code is what the subprocess returned from `main`;
+posix will however add addtional information about the process. 
+This is called the `native_exit_code`.
+
+
+The `.running()` function can be used to detect if the process is still active.
+
+[endsect]
+
+[section:signal Signalling the subprocess]
+
+The parent process can signal the subprocess demaning certain actions.
+
+`.terminate` will cause the subprocess to exit immediately (`SIGKILL` on posix).
+This is the only reliable & portable way to end a subprocess.
+
+```
+    process proc("/bin/totally-not-a-virus", {});
+    proc.terminate();
+```
+
+`.request_exit` will ask the subprocess to shutdown (`SIGTERM` on posix),
+which the subprocess might ignore.
+
+```
+    process proc("/bin/bash", {});
+    proc.request_exit();
+    proc.wait();
+```
+
+`.interrupt` will send an SIGINT to the subprocess, which a subprocess might 
+interpret as a signal to shutdown.
+
+[warning interrupt requires the initializer `windows::create_new_process_group` to be set]
+
+```

+
+```
+ assert(execute(process("/bin/ls", {}) == 0));

+
+The async version supports cancellation and will forward cancellation types as follows:

+
+When using io with a subprocess, all three standard streams (stdin, stdout, stderr) get set for the child-process.
+The default setting is to inherit the parent process.
+
+This feature meant to be flexible, which is why there is little checking on the arguments assigned to one of those streams. 
+
+[section:pipe Pipe]
+
+asio pipes can be used for io. When using in process_stdio they will get 
+automatically connected and the other side will get assigned to the child process:
+
+```

+[section:null `nullptr`]
+
+`nullptr` may be used to set a given stream to be opened on the null-device (`/dev/null` on posix, `NUL` on windows). 
+This is used to ignore output or give only EOF as input.
+
+```
+    asio::io_context ctx;
