Easily spawn new processes using Swift

Spawn

• Note: Works on macOS and Linux.

• Spawn runs new processes using posix_spawn and reads output (and stderr stream) on a different thread so the calling thread is never blocked.

How to use?

Just pass the arguments to execute. For example:

import Spawn

do {
    let spawn = try Spawn(args: ["/bin/sh", "-c", "ls", "."]) { str in
        print(str)
    }
} catch {
    print("error: \(error)")
}

How to install?

Swift Package Manager:

• Add dependency in Package.swift

import PackageDescription

let package = Package(
    name: "MyPackage",

    dependencies: [
        .Package(url: "https://github.com/aciidb0mb3r/Spawn", majorVersion: 0)
    ]
)
