 In the closure-based API, output streams are delivered as an `SubprocessOutputSequence` — an asynchronous sequence of `Buffer` values. Each `Buffer` provides access to its bytes via `withUnsafeBytes(_:)` or the `bytes` property (a `RawSpan`).
 
-The preferred way to convert `Buffer` to `String` is to read output line by line using `.lines()`. You can optionally specify an encoding and buffering policy:
