18 * Using .in, .out, .err:
19 * - Specify 0 for no redirections (child inherits stdin, stdout,
20 * stderr from parent).
21 * - Specify -1 to have a pipe allocated as follows:
22 * .in: returns the writable pipe end; parent writes to it,
23 * the readable pipe end becomes child's stdin
24 * .out, .err: returns the readable pipe end; parent reads from
25 * it, the writable pipe end becomes child's stdout/stderr
26 * The caller of start_command() must close the returned FDs
27 * after it has completed reading from/writing to it!
28 * - Specify > 0 to set a channel to a particular FD as follows:
29 * .in: a readable FD, becomes child's stdin
30 * .out: a writable FD, becomes child's stdout/stderr
31 * .err > 0 not supported
32 * The specified FD is closed by start_command(), even in case
33 * of errors!

68 * the caller and the feed function is necessary so that the function
69 * can run in a thread without interfering with the caller.
