Returns:

A struct which contains the fields int status and string output. (This will most likely change to become a std.typecons.Tuple!(int,"status",string,"output") in the future, but a compiler bug currently prevents this.)

However, it works for me when i replace

----

struct ProcessOutput { int status; string output; }

return ProcessOutput(wait(p.pid), cast(string) a.data);

----

by:

return Tuple!(int, "status", string, "output")(wait(p.pid), cast(string) a.data);

(and import std.typecons in header)

I'd like to change to this 2nd version sooner rather than later (now?) because:

* doing it now is ok since std.process was just upgraded so not too much code will be broken if we do it right away

* in current situation, ReturnType!executeShell !is ReturnType!execute which sounds silly

For example I wanted to add a forwarding function usable as:

"command".executeShell.outputThrows.writeln;

but it will work with executeShell and not execute (unless we make it templated), see below:

string outputThrows(ReturnType!executeShell ret){
    import std.exception;
    enforce(!ret.status,ret.output);
    return ret.output;

}
