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

- * This describes the arguments, redirections, and environment of a

- * The caller:
- *
- * 1. allocates and clears (using child_process_init() or
- *    CHILD_PROCESS_INIT) a struct child_process variable;
- * 2. initializes the members;
- * 3. calls start_command();
- * 4. processes the data;
- * 5. closes file descriptors (if necessary; see below);
- * 6. calls finish_command().
- *
- * Special forms of redirection are available by setting these members
- * to 1:
- *
- *  .no_stdin, .no_stdout, .no_stderr: The respective channel is
- *		redirected to /dev/null.
- *
- *	.stdout_to_stderr: stdout of the child is redirected to its
- *		stderr. This happens after stderr is itself redirected.
- *		So stdout will follow stderr to wherever it is
- *		redirected.
