- =head1 NAME
-
- IPC::Open3, open3 - open a process for reading, writing, and error handling
-
- =head1 SYNOPSIS
-
- $pid = open3('WTRFH', 'RDRFH', 'ERRFH'
- 'some cmd and args', 'optarg', ...);
-
- =head1 DESCRIPTION
-
- Extremely similar to open2(), open3() spawns the given $cmd and
- connects RDRFH for reading, WTRFH for writing, and ERRFH for errors. If
- ERRFH is '', or the same as RDRFH, then STDOUT and STDERR of the child are
- on the same file handle.
-
- If WTRFH begins with ">&", then WTRFH will be closed in the parent, and
- the child will read from it directly. if RDRFH or ERRFH begins with
- ">&", then the child will send output directly to that file handle. In both
- cases, there will be a dup(2) instead of a pipe(2) made.
-
- All caveats from open2() continue to apply. See L<open2> for details.

- # usage: $pid = open3('wtr', 'rdr', 'err' 'some cmd and args', 'optarg', ...);
- #
- # spawn the given $cmd and connect rdr for
- # reading, wtr for writing, and err for errors.
- # if err is '', or the same as rdr, then stdout and
- # stderr of the child are on the same fh. returns pid
- # of child, or 0 on failure.
-
-
- # if wtr begins with '>&', then wtr will be closed in the parent, and
- # the child will read from it directly. if rdr or err begins with
- # '>&', then the child will send output directly to that fd. In both
- # cases, there will be a dup() instead of a pipe() made.
-
-
- # WARNING: this is dangerous, as you may block forever
- # unless you are very careful.
- #
- # $wtr is left unbuffered.
- #
- # abort program if
- # rdr or wtr are null
- # pipe or fork or exec fails
-
- $fh = 'FHOPEN000'; # package static in case called more than once
