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