Is there a Delphi "subprocess" library?

I am looking for a Delphi subprocess library, something like Python's subprocess -  is there one?

If I understood this correctly, a Python subprocess starts an external program, connects its stdin/out/err to pipes and gets the return code when it exits.

 

There is nothing like this in the standard Delphi RTL but there are multiple third party options. If I remember correctly one is in the JCL, another is my own TAsyncExec class in unit u_dzAsyncExec which is part of my dzlib library.

There's quite a few options out there.   I wrote a related blog post and provided some example code:  https://ideasawakened.com/post/use-createprocess-and-capture-the-output-in-windows
