Where can I find the concept behind the template parameters Arguments and Context in
template<typename Arguments, typename Context> child create_child(const std::string & executable, Arguments args, Context ctx);
it should be possible to use any container for Arguments as long as its elements are std::strings. The flexibility regarding Context is more theoretical (you basically have to copy boost::process::context and can't leave anything out). In early versions of the library one of the goals was to support multiple string types. In practice nothing but std::string ever worked. There were once also multiple context classes when the library shipped platform-specific classes for POSIX and Windows. As of today create_child() heavily depends on boost::process::context though.
