[OS_Process->Write] writes data to the standard input of the native process. A byte stream is written directly to the native process. A string is converted using the character set which was set using [OS_Process->SetEncoding]. If no character has been set then UTF-8 data is sent to the native process.
The [OS_Process->CloseWrite] tag can be used to close the standard input. Some processes will poll for input until the standard input is closed and will then process that input making a result available to [OS_Process->Read] or [OS_Process->ReadString].
Var: 'myProcess' = (OS_Process: '/bin/cat');
$myProcess->(Write: 'This is a test\n');
$myProcess->(Write: 'This is a test\n');
$myProcess->CloseWrite;
encode_html: $myProcess->Read;
$myProcess->Close;
