Opinionated utilities to provide common capabilities and create rich configuration webUI experiences for Homebridge plugins.

/**
 * FFmpeg process management and capability introspection.
 *
 * This module defines the `FfmpegProcess` class, which abstracts the spawning, monitoring, and logging of FFmpeg subprocesses. It manages process state, handles
 * command-line argument composition, processes standard streams (stdin, stdout, stderr), and robustly reports process errors and exit conditions.
 *
 * Designed for use in Homebridge plugins, this module enables safe and flexible execution of FFmpeg commands, making it easier to integrate video/audio processing
 * pipelines with realtime control and diagnostics.
 *
 * Key features:
 *
 * - Comprehensive FFmpeg subprocess management (start, monitor, stop, cleanup).
 * - Streamlined error handling and logging, with pluggable loggers.
 * - Access to process I/O streams for data injection and consumption.
 * - Flexible callback and event-based architecture for streaming scenarios.
 *
 * Intended for developers needing direct, reliable control over FFmpeg process lifecycles with detailed runtime insights, especially in plugin or media automation
 * contexts.

/**
 * Base class providing FFmpeg process management and capability introspection.
 *
 * This class encapsulates spawning, managing, and logging of FFmpeg processes, as well as handling process I/O and errors. It is designed as a reusable foundation for
 * advanced FFmpeg process control in Homebridge plugins or similar environments. Originally inspired by the Homebridge and homebridge-camera-ffmpeg source code.
 *
 * @example
 *
 * ```ts
 * // Create and start an FFmpeg process.
 * const process = new FfmpegProcess(options, ["-i", "input.mp4", "-f", "null", "-"]);
 * process.start();
 *
 * // Access process streams if needed.
 * const stdin = process.stdin;
 * const stdout = process.stdout;
 * const stderr = process.stderr;
 *
 * // Stop the FFmpeg process when done.
 * process.stop();
 * ```
