{ The procedure Pipe starts a process whose name is given by
  ProcessName, with the given parameters (can be Null if no
  parameters) and environment, and create pipes from and/or to the
  process' standard input/output/error. ProcessName is searched for
  in the PATH with FSearchExecutable. Any of ToInputFile,
  FromOutputFile and FromStdErrFile can be Null if the corresponding
  pipe is not wanted. FromOutputFile and FromStdErrFile may be
  identical, in which case standard output and standard error are
  redirected to the same pipe. The behaviour of other pairs of files
  being identical is undefined, and useless, anyway. The files are
  Assigned and Reset or Rewritten as appropriate. Errors are
  returned in IOResult. If Process is not Null, a pointer to a
  record is stored there, from which the PID of the process created
  can be read, and by writing to which the action after all pipes
  have been closed can be changed. (The record is automatically
  Dispose'd of after all pipes have been closed.) If automatic
  waiting is turned off, the caller should get the PID from the
  record before it's Dispose'd of, and wait for the process sometime
  in order to avoid zombies. If no redirections are performed (i.e.,
  all 3 files are Null), the caller should wait for the process with
  WaitPipeProcess. When an error occurs, Process is not assigned to,
  and the state of the files is undefined, so be sure to check
  IOResult before going on.

  ChildProc, if not nil, is called in the child process after
  forking and redirecting I/O, but before executing the new process.
  It can even be called instead of executing a new process
  (ProcessName can be empty then).

  The procedure even works under Dos, but, of course, in a limited
  sense: if ToInputFile is used, the process will not actually be
  started until ToInputFile is closed. Signal, Seconds and Wait of
  TPipeProcess are ignored, and PID and SignalPID do not contain a
  Process ID, but an internal value without any meaning to the
  caller. Result will always be PIDExited. So, Status is the only
  interesting field (but Result should also be checked). Since there
  is no forking under Dos, ChildProc, if not nil, is called in the
  main process before spawning the program. So, to be portable, it
  should not do any things that would influence the process after
  the return of the Pipe function.

  The only portable way to use "pipes" in both directions is to call
  `Pipe', write all the Input data to ToInputFile, close
  ToInputFile, and then read the Output and StdErr data from
  FromOutputFile and FromStdErrFile. However, since the capacity of
  pipes is limited, one should also check for Data from
  FromOutputFile and FromStdErrFile (using CanRead, IOSelect or
  IOSelectRead) while writing the Input data (under Dos, there
  simply won't be any data then, but checking for data doesn't do
  any harm). Please see pipedemo.pas for an example. }

  PExecute_Search  = 4;
  PExecute_Verbose = 8;

{ PExecute: execute a chain of processes.

  Program and Arguments are the arguments to execv/execvp.

  Flags and PExecute_Search is non-zero if $PATH should be searched.
  Flags and PExecute_First is nonzero for the first process in
  chain. Flags and PExecute_Last is nonzero for the last process in
  chain.

  The result is the pid on systems like Unix where we fork/exec and
  on systems like MS-Windows and OS2 where we use spawn. It is up to
  the caller to wait for the child.

  The result is the exit code on systems like MSDOS where we spawn
  and wait for the child here.

  Upon failure, ErrMsg is set to the text of the error message,
  and -1 is returned. `errno' is available to the caller to use.

  PWait: cover function for wait.

  PID is the process id of the task to wait for. Status is the
  `status' argument to wait. Flags is currently unused (allows
  future enhancement without breaking upward compatibility). Pass 0
  for now.

  The result is the process ID of the child reaped, or -1 for
  failure.

  On systems that don't support waiting for a particular child, PID
  is ignored. On systems like MSDOS that don't really multitask
  PWait is just a mechanism to provide a consistent interface for
  the caller. }
