STATIC void process_read_lines	(	process_t *	process,
		buf_t *	buffer,
		process_read_callback_t	callback
	)

This function tries to extract complete lines from the given buffer and calls the given callback function whenever it has a complete line. Before calling callback we remove the trailing "\n" or "\r\n" from the line. If we are unable to extract a complete line we leave the data in the buffer for next call.
