+# = open3.rb: Popen, but with stderr, too
+#
+# Author:: Yukihiro Matsumoto
+# Documentation:: Konrad Meyer
+#
+# Open3 gives you access to stdin, stdout, and stderr when running other
+# programs.
+#
+
+#
+# Open3 grants you access to stdin, stdout, stderr and a thread to wait the
+# child process when running another program.
+#
+# Example:
+#
+# require "open3"
+# include Open3
+#
+# stdin, stdout, stderr, wait_thr = popen3('nroff -man')
+#
+# Open3.popen3 can also take a block which will receive stdin, stdout,
+# stderr and wait_thr as parameters.
+# This ensures stdin, stdout and stderr are closed and
+# the process is terminated once the block exits.
+#
+# Example:
+#
+# require "open3"
+#
+# Open3.popen3('nroff -man') { |stdin, stdout, stderr, wait_thr| ... }
+#
+
+module Open3
+ #
+ # Open stdin, stdout, and stderr streams and start external executable.
+ # In addition, a thread for waiting the started process is noticed.
+ # The thread has a thread variable :pid which is the pid of the started
+ # process.
+ #
+ # Non-block form:
+ #
+ # stdin, stdout, stderr, wait_thr = Open3.popen3(cmd)
+ # pid = wait_thr[:pid] # pid of the started process.
+ # ...
+ # stdin.close # stdin, stdout and stderr should be closed in this form.
+ # stdout.close
+ # stderr.close
+ # exit_status = wait_thr.value # Process::Status object returned.
+ #
+ # Block form:
+ #
+ # Open3.popen3(cmd) { |stdin, stdout, stderr, wait_thr| ... }
+ #
+ # The parameter +cmd+ is passed directly to Kernel#spawn.
+ #
+ # wait_thr.value waits the termination of the process.
+ # The block form also waits the process when it returns.
+ #
+ # Closing stdin, stdout and stderr does not wait the process.
