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