## Introduction
Manage interactive jobs in Hilbish via Lua.
Jobs are the name of background tasks/commands. A job can be started via
interactive usage or with the functions defined below for use in external runners.
## Object properties
- `cmd`: The user entered command string for the job.
- `running`: Whether the job is running or not.
- `id`: The ID of the job in the job table
- `pid`: The Process ID
- `exitCode`: The last exit code of the job.
- `stdout`: The standard output of the job. This just means the normal logs of the process.
- `stderr`: The standard error stream of the process. This (usually) includes error messages of the job.
## Functions
### background()
Puts a job in the background. This acts the same as initially running a job.
### foreground()
Puts a job in the foreground. This will cause it to run like it was
executed normally and wait for it to complete.
### start()
Starts running the job.
### stop()
Stops the job from running.
### add(cmdstr, args, execPath)
Adds a new job to the job table. Note that this does not immediately run it.
### all()
Returns a table of all job objects.
### disown(id)
Disowns a job. This deletes it from the job table.
### get(id)
Get a job object via its ID.
### last() -> Job
Returns the last added job from the table.
