You must close FP yourself with `fclose' to indicate that the

This call is not supported on systems which do not support pipes;
|

it returns with an error. (We could implement it by writing a
|
||||
temporary file, but then you would need to write all your data and
|
||||
close FP before your first call to `pex_run' -- and that wouldn't
|
||||
work on systems that do support pipes: the pipe would fill up, and
|
||||
you would block. So there isn't any easy way to conceal the
|
||||
differences between the two types of systems.)
|

|
||||
If you call both `pex_write_input' and `pex_read_output', be
|
||||
careful to avoid deadlock. If the output pipe fills up, so that
|
||||
each program in the pipeline is waiting for the next to read more
|
||||
data, and you fill the input pipe by writing more data to FP, then
|
||||
there is no way to make progress: the only process that could read
|
||||
data from the output pipe is you, but you are blocked on the input
|

pipe. */
