/**
 * The run-command API offers a versatile tool to run sub-processes with
 * redirected input and output as well as with a modified environment
 * and an alternate current directory.
 *
 * A similar API offers the capability to run a function asynchronously,
 * which is primarily used to capture the output that the function
 * produces in the caller in order to process it.
 */


/**
 * This describes the arguments, redirections, and environment of a
 * command to run in a sub-process.
 *
 * The caller:
 *
 * 1. allocates and clears (using child_process_init() or
 *    CHILD_PROCESS_INIT) a struct child_process variable;
 * 2. initializes the members;
 * 3. calls start_command();
 * 4. processes the data;
 * 5. closes file descriptors (if necessary; see below);
 * 6. calls finish_command().
 *
 * Special forms of redirection are available by setting these members
 * to 1:
 *
 *  .no_stdin, .no_stdout, .no_stderr: The respective channel is
 *              redirected to /dev/null.
 *
 *      .stdout_to_stderr: stdout of the child is redirected to its
 *              stderr. This happens after stderr is itself redirected.
 *              So stdout will follow stderr to wherever it is
 *              redirected.
