(subp PROGRAM &rest OPTIONS)

Run PROGRAM synchronously with OPTIONS. PROGRAM is a string or a list of form (PROGRAM ARGS…). If PROGRAM contains spaces, it will be split on spaces to supply program args. OPTIONS is a may be any of the key value pairs:

• stdout: `buffer` to return a buffer, other values return a string.
• stderr: same as above.
• stdin: File path for program input. @=TODO=: region/buffer as stdin.
• lisp-error: If non-nil, signal Lisp errors, else return Lisp error object.
• namespace: A symbol or string prefixed for anaphoric `subp-with' bindings.

The following keywords apply to asynchronous sub processes:

• async: When non-nil, execute PROGRAM asynchronously.
• callback: A function called with at least one arg. Implies :async t.
• cb-args: Additional args to pass to the :callback function
• stop: When non-nil, return a stopped process object.

Return a list of form (EXIT STDOUT STDERR :=PROPS=…) for synchrous processses. Return a process object for asynchronous processes.
