val result = exec {
// some command line program
arg("curl")
args("-d", "@-")
arg("https://my.api")
// redirect streams
stdin = Redirect.Pipe
stdout = Redirect.Pipe
stderr = Redirect.Write("/log/file")
// pipe input data to stdin
input {
append("Hello, World")
}
// check for errors
check = true
}
// use result
println(result.output)
