+class Chef
+
+  # == Chef::ShellOut
+  # Provides a simplified interface to shelling out yet still collecting both
+  # standard out and standard error and providing full control over environment,
+  # working directory, uid, gid, etc.
+  # 
+  # No means for passing input to the subprocess is provided, nor is there any
+  # way to inspect the output of the command as it is being read. If you need 
+  # to do that, you have to use popen4 (in Chef::Mixin::Command)
+  #
+  # === Platform Support
+  # Chef::ShellOut uses Kernel.fork() and is therefore unsuitable for Windows
+  # or jruby.
+  class ShellOut
+    READ_WAIT_TIME = 0.01
+    READ_SIZE = 4096
+    DEFAULT_READ_TIMEOUT = 60
+    DEFAULT_ENVIRONMENT = {'LC_ALL' => 'C'}

+    attr_reader :command, :umask, :environment

+    
+    attr_reader :stdout, :stderr, :status
+    
+    attr_reader :stdin_pipe, :stdout_pipe, :stderr_pipe, :process_status_pipe
+    
+    # === Arguments:
+    # Takes a single command, or a list of command fragments. These are used
+    # as arguments to Kernel.exec. See the Kernel.exec documentation for more
+    # explanation of how arguments are evaluated. The last argument can be an
+    # options Hash.
+    # === Options:
+    # If the last argument is a Hash, it is removed from the list of args passed
+    # to exec and used as an options hash. The following options are available:
+    # * +user+: the user the commmand should run as. if an integer is given, it is
+    #   used as a uid. A string is treated as a username and resolved to a uid
+    #   with Etc.getpwnam
+    # * +group+: the group the command should run as. works similarly to +user+
+    # * +cwd+: the directory to chdir to before running the command
+    # * +umask+: a umask to set before running the command. If given as an Integer,
+    #   be sure to use two leading zeros so it's parsed as Octal. A string will
+    #   be treated as an octal integer
+    # * +returns+:  one or more Integer values to use as valid exit codes for the
+    #   subprocess. This only has an effect if you call +error!+ after
+    #   +run_command+.
+    # * +environment+: a Hash of environment variables to set before the command
+    #   is run. By default, the environment will *always* be set to 'LC_ALL' => 'C'
+    #   to prevent issues with multibyte characters in Ruby 1.8. To avoid this,
+    #   use :environment => nil for *no* extra environment settings, or
+    #   :environment => {'LC_ALL'=>nil, ...} to set other environment settings
+    #   without changing the locale.
+    # * +timeout+: a Numeric value for the number of seconds to wait on the
+    #   child process before raising an Exception. This is calculated as the
+    #   total amount of time that ShellOut waited on the child process without
+    #   receiving any output (i.e., IO.select returned nil). Default is 60
+    #   seconds. Note: the stdlib Timeout library is not used.
+    # === Examples:
+    # Invoke find(1) to search for .rb files:
+    #   find = Chef::ShellOut.new("find . -name '*.rb'")
+    #   find.run_command
+    #   # If all went well, the results are on +stdout+
+    #   puts find.stdout
+    #   # find(1) prints diagnostic info to STDERR:
+    #   puts "error messages" + find.stderr
+    #   # Raise an exception if it didn't exit with 0
+    #   find.error!
+    # Run a command as the +www+ user with no extra ENV settings from +/tmp+
+    #   cmd = Chef::ShellOut.new("apachectl", "start", :user => 'www', :env => nil, :cwd => '/tmp')
