31 To avoid deadlocks, let the child process decide when it wants to read
32 or to write, and let the parent behave accordingly. The parent uses
33 select() to know whether it must write or read. On platforms without
34 select(), we use non-blocking I/O. (This means the parent is busy
35 looping while waiting for the child. Not good. But hardly any platform
36 lacks select() nowadays.) */
