public interface Haltable
A hook for requesting that a running process be halted.
A process which this hook refers to can only be run once per instance of
this interface; once a process is stopped, it cannot magically
restart. This implies that repeated calls to halt() will
have the same effect on the [running] process as a single call will.

Requests that a running process be aborted. |
halt
void halt()
- Requests that a running process be aborted.
halt() does
not block; it returns quickly; it is likely that halt()
will return before an underlying running process exits.
If halt() is called before an underlying process is started,
that underlying process should abort immediately if it is ever started.
If an underlying process has been started and has finished executing
before halt() is called, halt() will have no
effect.
