Basically a wrapper for Open3.popen3 that:
Creates a child process, by calling Open3.popen3 with the given arguments (except for certain entries in hash options; see below).
Returns as strings stdout_s and stderr_s the standard output and standard error of the child process.
Returns as status a Process::Status object that represents the exit status of the child process.
Returns the array [stdout_s, stderr_s, status]:
stdout_s, stderr_s, status = Open3.capture3('echo "Foo"') # => ["Foo\n", "", #<Process::Status: pid 2281954 exit 0>]
Like Process.spawn, this method has potential security vulnerabilities if called with untrusted input; see Command Injection.
Unlike Process.spawn, this method waits for the child process to exit before returning, so the caller need not do so.
If the first argument is a hash, it becomes leading argument env in the call to Open3.popen3; see Execution Environment.
If the last argument is a hash, it becomes trailing argument options in the call to Open3.popen3; see Execution Options.
The hash options is given; two options have local effect in method Open3.capture3:
If entry options[:stdin_data] exists, the entry is removed and its string value is sent to the command’s standard input:
Open3.capture3('tee', stdin_data: 'Foo') # => ["Foo", "", #<Process::Status: pid 2319575 exit 0>]
If entry options[:binmode] exists, the entry is removed and the internal streams are set to binary mode.
The single required argument is one of the following:
command_line if it is a string, and if it begins with a shell reserved word or special built-in, or if it contains one or more metacharacters.
exe_path otherwise.
Argument command_line
String argument command_line is a command line to be passed to a shell; it must begin with a shell reserved word, begin with a special built-in, or contain meta characters:

Open3.capture3('doesnt_exist') # Raises Errno::ENOENT
If one or more args is given, each is an argument or option to be passed to the executable:
Open3.capture3('echo', 'C #') # => ["C #\n", "", #<Process::Status: pid 2282368 exit 0>] Open3.capture3('echo', 'hello', 'world') # => ["hello world\n", "", #<Process::Status: pid 2282372 exit 0>]

Perform an operation in a block, raising an error if it takes longer than sec seconds to complete.
secNumber of seconds to wait for the block to terminate. Any non-negative number or nil may be used, including Floats to specify fractional seconds. A value of 0 or nil will execute the block without any timeout. Any negative number will raise an ArgumentError.
klassException Class to raise if the block fails to terminate in sec seconds. Omitting will use the default, Timeout::Error
messageError message to raise with Exception Class. Omitting will use the default, “execution expired”
Returns the result of the block if the block completed before sec seconds, otherwise throws an exception, based on the value of klass.
The exception thrown to terminate the given block cannot be rescued inside the block unless klass is given explicitly. However, the block can use ensure to prevent the handling of the exception. For that reason, this method cannot be relied on to enforce timeouts for untrusted blocks.
If a scheduler is defined, it will be used to handle the timeout by invoking Scheduler#timeout_after.
Note that this is both a method of module Timeout, so you can include Timeout into your classes so they have a timeout method, as well as a module method, so you can call it directly as Timeout.timeout().

Creates a new child process by doing one of the following in that process:
Passing string command_line to the shell.
Invoking the executable at exe_path.
This method has potential security vulnerabilities if called with untrusted input; see Command Injection.
Returns the process ID (pid) of the new process, without waiting for it to complete.
To avoid zombie processes, the parent process should call either:
Process.wait, to collect the termination statuses of its children.
Process.detach, to register disinterest in their status.
The new process is created using the exec system call; it may inherit some of its environment from the calling program (possibly including open file descriptors).
Argument env, if given, is a hash that affects ENV for the new process; see Execution Environment.
Argument options is a hash of options for the new process; see Execution Options.
The first required argument is one of the following:
command_line if it is a string, and if it begins with a shell reserved word or special built-in, or if it contains one or more meta characters.
exe_path otherwise.
Argument command_line
String argument command_line is a command line to be passed to a shell; it must begin with a shell reserved word, begin with a special built-in, or contain meta characters:
spawn('if true; then echo "Foo"; fi') # => 798847 # Shell reserved word. Process.wait # => 798847 spawn('exit') # => 798848 # Built-in. Process.wait # => 798848 spawn('date > /tmp/date.tmp') # => 798879 # Contains meta character. Process.wait # => 798849 spawn('date > /nop/date.tmp') # => 798882 # Issues error message. Process.wait # => 798882
The command line may also contain arguments and options for the command:
spawn('echo "Foo"') # => 799031 Process.wait # => 799031
Output:
Foo
See Execution Shell for details about the shell.
Raises an exception if the new process could not execute.
Argument exe_path
Argument exe_path is one of the following:
The string path to an executable to be called.
A 2-element array containing the path to an executable to be called, and the string to be used as the name of the executing process.
spawn('/usr/bin/date') # Path to date on Unix-style system. Process.wait
Output:
Mon Aug 28 11:43:10 AM CDT 2023
Ruby invokes the executable directly. This form does not use the shell; see Arguments args for caveats.
If one or more args is given, each is an argument or option to be passed to the executable:
spawn('echo', 'C*') # => 799392 Process.wait # => 799392 spawn('echo', 'hello', 'world') # => 799393 Process.wait # => 799393
Output:
C* hello world
Raises an exception if the new process could not execute.
Sets the process group ID for the process given by process ID pid to pgid.
Not available on all platforms.
Establishes the current process as a new session and process group leader, with no controlling tty; returns the session ID:
Process.setsid # => 27422
Not available on all platforms.
Returns the scheduling priority for specified process, process group, or user.
Argument kind is one of:
Process::PRIO_PROCESS: return priority for process.
Process::PRIO_PGRP: return priority for process group.
Process::PRIO_USER: return priority for user.
Argument id is the ID for the process, process group, or user; zero specified the current ID for kind.
Examples:
Process.getpriority(Process::PRIO_USER, 0) # => 19 Process.getpriority(Process::PRIO_PROCESS, 0) # => 19

Notify the Ruby virtual machine that the boot sequence is finished, and that now is a good time to optimize the application. This is useful for long running applications.
This method is expected to be called at the end of the application boot. If the application is deployed using a pre-forking model, Process.warmup should be called in the original process before the first fork.
The actual optimizations performed are entirely implementation specific and may change in the future without notice.
On CRuby, Process.warmup:
Performs a major GC.
Compacts the heap.
Promotes all surviving objects to the old generation.
Precomputes the coderange of all strings.
Frees all empty heap pages and increments the allocatable pages counter by the number of pages freed.
Invoke malloc_trim if available to free empty malloc pages.
Sets limits for the current process for the given resource to cur_limit (soft limit) and max_limit (hard limit); returns nil.
Argument resource specifies the resource whose limits are to be set; the argument may be given as a symbol, as a string, or as a constant beginning with Process::RLIMIT_ (e.g., :CORE, 'CORE', or Process::RLIMIT_CORE.
The resources available and supported are system-dependent, and may include (here expressed as symbols):
:AS: Total available memory (bytes) (SUSv3, NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD except 4.4BSD-Lite).
:CORE: Core size (bytes) (SUSv3).
:CPU: CPU time (seconds) (SUSv3).
:DATA: Data segment (bytes) (SUSv3).
:FSIZE: File size (bytes) (SUSv3).
:MEMLOCK: Total size for mlock(2) (bytes) (4.4BSD, GNU/Linux).
:MSGQUEUE: Allocation for POSIX message queues (bytes) (GNU/Linux).
:NICE: Ceiling on process’s nice(2) value (number) (GNU/Linux).

:SBSIZE: All socket buffers (bytes) (NetBSD, FreeBSD).
:SIGPENDING: Number of queued signals allowed (signals) (GNU/Linux).
:STACK: Stack size (bytes) (SUSv3).
Arguments cur_limit and max_limit may be:
Integers (max_limit should not be smaller than cur_limit).
