16 * Using .in, .out, .err:
17 * - Specify 0 for no redirections (child inherits stdin, stdout,
18 * stderr from parent).
19 * - Specify -1 to have a pipe allocated as follows:
20 * .in: returns the writable pipe end; parent writes to it,
21 * the readable pipe end becomes child's stdin
22 * .out, .err: returns the readable pipe end; parent reads from
23 * it, the writable pipe end becomes child's stdout/stderr
24 * The caller of start_command() must close the returned FDs
25 * after it has completed reading from/writing to it!
26 * - Specify > 0 to set a channel to a particular FD as follows:
27 * .in: a readable FD, becomes child's stdin
28 * .out: a writable FD, becomes child's stdout/stderr
29 * .err: a writable FD, becomes child's stderr
30 * The specified FD is closed by start_command(), even in case
31 * of errors!

100 * can run in a thread without interfering with the caller.
