+This API provides rudimentary process management. It is used mainly by the `io` module to provide individual standard input and output to individual programs.
+
+- `process.load(path:string[, env:table[, init:function[, name:string]]]):coroutine`  
+  Loads a Lua script from the specified *absolute* path and sets it up as a process.  
+  It will be loaded with a custom environment, to avoid cluttering the callers/global environment. This environment will have access to anything in the specified environment, or the default (top level) environment if none is given.  
+  If an `init` function is specified, that method is called the first time the resulting coroutine is executed, and run before the actual program is started. This allows fine-tuning of the programs environment.  
+  If a `name` is specified, that is the name the process will specify in `process.running`. It will be `nil` otherwise.
+- `process.running([level: number]): string, table, string`  
+  Returns the path to the currently running program (i.e. the last process created via `process.load`). The level can optionally be provided to get parent processes. It defaults to 1, the current program. 2 is the current program's parent (the one that called `process.load` to start the current program) and so on.  
+  The second returned value is the environment of the process, i.e. the table created for it to use as one.  
+  The third returned value is the 'name' of the process, i.e. the fourth parameter to `process.load`. For programs started via the shell this will ususally be the original command. E.g. for `ls -l`, the first returned value will be `ls`, while this value will be `ls -l`.
