# getAsBytes

abstract fun getAsBytes(): Provider<Array<Byte>>(source)

Gets a provider for the standard stream's content that returns it as a byte array.

The external process is executed only once and only when the value is requested for the first time.

If starting the process results in exception then the ensuing exception is permanently propagated to callers of get, getOrElse, getOrNull and isPresent.
