+/**
+ * KProcIO
+ *
+ * This class provides a slightly simpler interface to the communication
+ * functions provided by KProcess. The simplifications are:
+ * @li The buffer for a write is copied to an internal KProcIO
+ * buffer and maintained/freed appropriately. There is no need
+ * to be concerned with wroteStdin() signals _at_all_.
+ * @li readln() reads a line of data and buffers any leftovers.
+ * @li Conversion from/to unicode.
+ *
+ * Basically, KProcIO gives you buffered I/O similar to fgets()/fputs().
+ *
+ * Aside from these, and the fact that start() takes different
+ * parameters, use this class just like KProcess.
