Commandline objects help handling command lines specifying processes to execute. The class can be used to define a command line as nested elements or as a helper to define a command line by an application.

<someelement>
  <acommandline executable="/executable/to/run">
    <argument value="argument 1" />
    <argument line="argument_1 argument_2 argument_3" />
    <argument value="argument 4" />
  </acommandline>
</someelement>
The element someelement must provide a method createAcommandline which returns an instance of this class.
