Creates a standalone pipe whose read- and write-side channels are returned as a 2-element list, the first element being the read side and the second the write side. Can be useful e.g. to redirect -separately stderr and stdout from a subprocess. To do this, spawn with "2>@" or +separately \fBstderr\fR and \fBstdout\fR from a subprocess. To do +this, spawn with "2>@" or ">@" redirection operators onto the write side of a pipe, and then immediately close it in the parent. This is necessary to get an EOF on the read side once the child has exited or otherwise closed its output. |
