No process is asynchronous in std.process.
If you don't want to block your program then wrap it in a
thread that checks periodically for termination.
Either you are wrong or the docks are wrong:

pipeProcess also spawns a child process which runs in
**parallel** with its parent. However, instead of taking
arbitrary streams, it automatically creates a set of pipes that
allow the parent to communicate with the child through the
child's standard input, output, and/or error streams. This
function corresponds roughly to C's popen function.
