Hi all!I'd like to run something similar to shell-command-to-string, but that runs "asynchronously" in a "subprocess" in the "background". I've searched for all those things without finding anything suitable.async-shell-command-to-string or whatever it would be called would take a callback for the string output when the subprocess is done.Is there anything like that already?If not, any hints on how to implement it? The async part of shell-command looks promising to nick.
Look in the Emacs manual: (info "(elisp) Processes")
