bg)Run processes in the background
bg supports two modes: it can either be run as a
function block which will execute in the background, or it can take
stopped processes and daemonize them.
POSIX only:
bg { code block }
bg fidbg { sleep 5; out "Morning" }The examples above will work on any system (Windows included).
However the ctrl+z usage of backgrounding a stopped process
(like Bash) is only supported on POSIX systems due to the limitation of
required signals on non-platforms. This means the usage described in the
examples is cross cross platform while bg int currently
does not work on Windows nor Plan 9.
