/**
 * <p>
 * This class is used to construct new operating system processes.
 * A <code>ProcessBuilder</code> instance basically represent a
 * template for a new process.  Actual processes are generated from
 * this template via use of the <code>start()</code> method, which
 * may be invoked multiple times, with each invocation spawning a
 * new process with the current attributes of the
 * <code>ProcessBuilder</code> object.  Each spawned process is
 * independent of the <code>ProcessBuilder</code> object, and is
 * unaffected by changes in its attributes.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * The following attributes define a process:
 * </p>
 * <ul>
 * <li>The <emphasis>working directory</emphasis>; the activities of a
 * process begin with the current directory set to this.  By default,
 * this is the working directory of the current process, as defined
 * by the <code>user.dir</code> property.</li>
 * <li>The <emphasis>command</emphasis> which invokes the process.  This
 * usually consists of the name of the program binary followed by an
 * arbitrary number of arguments.  For example, <code>find -type f</code>
 * invokes the <code>find</code> binary with the arguments "-type" and "f".
 * The command is provided a list, the elements of which are defined in a
 * system dependent manner; the layout is affected by expected operating
 * system conventions.  A common method is to split the command on each
 * space within the string.  Thus, <code>find -type f</code> forms a
 * three element list.  However, in some cases, the expectation is that
 * this split is performed by the program itself; thus, the list consists
 * of only two elements (the program name and its arguments).</li>
 * <li>The <emphasis>environment map</emphasis>, which links environment
 * variables to their corresponding values.  The initial contents of the map
 * are the current environment values i.e. it contains the contents of the
 * map returned by <code>System.getenv()</code>.</li>
 * <li>The <emphasis>redirection flag</emphasis>, which specifies whether
 * or not the contents of the error stream should be redirected to standard
 * output.  By default, this is false, and there are two output streams, one
 * for normal data ({@link Process#getOutputStream()}) and one for error data
 * ({@link Process#getErrorStream()}).  When set to true, the two are merged,
 * which simplifies the interleaving of the two streams.  Data is read using
 * the stream returned by {@link Process#getOutputStream()}, and the
 * stream returned by {@link Process#getErrorStream()} throws an immediate
 * end-of-file exception.</li>
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * All checks on attribute validity are delayed until <code>start()</code>
 * is called. <code>ProcessBuilder</code> objects are <strong>not
 * synchronized</strong>; the user must provide external synchronization
 * where multiple threads may interact with the same
 * <code>ProcessBuilder</code> object.
 * </p>
