val result = exec {
    // some command line program

    args("-d", "@-")
    arg("https://my.api")
    // redirect streams
    stdin = Redirect.Pipe
    stdout = Redirect.Pipe
    stderr = Redirect.Write("/log/file")
    // pipe input data to stdin
    input {
        append("Hello, World")
    }
    // check for errors
    check = true
}

// use result
println(result.output)
