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.
