- =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. The WTRFH will have autoflush turned on.
-
- If WTRFH begins with "E<lt>&", then WTRFH will be closed in the parent, and
- the child will read from it directly. If RDRFH or ERRFH begins with
- "E<gt>&", 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.
-
- If you try to read from the child's stdout writer and their stderr
- writer, you'll have problems with blocking, which means you'll
- want to use select(), which means you'll have to use sysread() instead
- of normal stuff.
-
- open3() returns the process ID of the child process. It doesn't return on
- failure: it just raises an exception matching C</^open3:/>.
-
- =head1 WARNING
-
- It will not create these file handles for you. You have to do this
- yourself. So don't pass it empty variables expecting them to get filled
- in for you.
-
- Additionally, this is very dangerous as you may block forever. It
- assumes it's going to talk to something like B<bc>, both writing to it
- and reading from it. This is presumably safe because you "know" that
- commands like B<bc> will read a line at a time and output a line at a
- time. Programs like B<sort> that read their entire input stream first,
- however, are quite apt to cause deadlock.
-
- The big problem with this approach is that if you don't have control
- over source code being run in the child process, you can't control
- what it does with pipe buffering. Thus you can't just open a pipe to
- C<cat -v> and continually read and write a line from it.

- # 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 dies 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
- # a system call fails
