---Process management.
---
---This module provides utilities to spawn processes and capture their output.
---@class ProcessModule
local process_module = {}
---Spawn a process with an optional callback for its stdout, stderr, and exit information.
---
---`callback` has the following parameters:
---
--- - `stdout` - The process's stdout printed this line.
--- - `stderr` - The process's stderr printed this line.
--- - `exit_code` - The process exited with this code.
--- - `exit_msg` - The process exited with this message.
---@param command string|string[] The command as one whole string or a table of each of its arguments
---@param callback fun(stdout: string|nil, stderr: string|nil, exit_code: integer|nil, exit_msg: string|nil)? A callback to do something whenever the process's stdout or stderr print a line, or when the process exits.

---Spawn a process only if it isn't already running, with an optional callback for its stdout, stderr, and exit information.
---
---`callback` has the following parameters:
---
--- - `stdout`: The process's stdout printed this line.
--- - `stderr`: The process's stderr printed this line.
--- - `exit_code`: The process exited with this code.
--- - `exit_msg`: The process exited with this message.
---
---`spawn_once` checks for the process using `pgrep`. If your system doesn't have `pgrep`, this won't work properly.
---@param command string|string[] The command as one whole string or a table of each of its arguments
---@param callback fun(stdout: string|nil, stderr: string|nil, exit_code: integer|nil, exit_msg: string|nil)? A callback to do something whenever the process's stdout or stderr print a line, or when the process exits.

---Set an environment variable for Pinnacle. All future processes spawned will have this env set.
---
---Note that this will only set the variable for Pinnacle the compositor, not the running Lua config process.
---If you need to set an environment variable for this config, place them in the `metaconfig.toml` file instead.

---### Example
---```lua
---process.set_env("MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND", "1")
---```
---@param key string
---@param value string
function process_module.set_env(key, value)
SendMsg({
SetEnv = {

value = value,
