+.. tip::
+
+    .. versionadded:: 3.3
+        The ability to define commands as arrays of arguments was introduced in
+        Symfony 3.3.
+
+    Using array of arguments is the recommended way to define commands. This
+    saves you from any escaping and allows sending signals seamlessly
+    (e.g. to stop processes before completion.)::
+
+        $process = new Process(array('/path/command', '--flag', 'arg 1', 'etc.'));
+
+    If you need use stream redirections, conditional execution, or any other
+    features provided by the shell of your operating system, you can also define
+    commands as strings.
+
+    Please note that each OS provides a different syntax for their command-lines
+    so that it becomes your responsibility to deal with escaping and portability.
+
+    To provide any variable arguments to command-line string, pass them as
+    environment variables using the second argument of the ``run()``,
+    ``mustRun()`` or ``start()`` methods. Referencing them is also OS-dependent::
+
+        // On Unix-like OSes (Linux, macOS)
+        $process = new Process('echo "$MESSAGE"');
+
+        // On Windows
+        $process = new Process('echo "!MESSAGE!"');
+
+        // On both Unix-like and Windows
+        $process->run(null, array('MESSAGE' => 'Something to output'));
