9 | * The run-command API offers a versatile tool to run sub-processes with | |
10 | * redirected input and output as well as with a modified environment | |
11 | * and an alternate current directory. | |
12 | * | |
13 | * A similar API offers the capability to run a function asynchronously, | |
14 | * which is primarily used to capture the output that the function | |
15 | * produces in the caller in order to process it. | |

20 | * This describes the arguments, redirections, and environment of a | |
21 | * command to run in a sub-process. | |
22 | * | |
23 | * The caller: | |
24 | * | |
25 | * 1. allocates and clears (using child_process_init() or | |
26 | * CHILD_PROCESS_INIT) a struct child_process variable; | |
27 | * 2. initializes the members; | |
28 | * 3. calls start_command(); | |
29 | * 4. processes the data; | |
30 | * 5. closes file descriptors (if necessary; see below); | |
31 | * 6. calls finish_command(). | |
32 | * | |
33 | * Special forms of redirection are available by setting these members | |
34 | * to 1: | |
35 | * | |
36 | * .no_stdin, .no_stdout, .no_stderr: The respective channel is | |
37 | * redirected to /dev/null. | |
38 | * | |
39 | * .stdout_to_stderr: stdout of the child is redirected to its | |
40 | * stderr. This happens after stderr is itself redirected. | |
41 | * So stdout will follow stderr to wherever it is | |
42 | * redirected. | |
