+
+The name of the input file is chosen according to the same rules

+
+Return a stream @var{fp} for a pipe connected to the standard input of

+You must have passed @code{PEX_USE_PIPES} to the @code{pex_init} call
+that returned @var{obj}.
+
+You must close @var{fp} using @code{fclose} yourself when you have
+finished writing data to the pipeline.
+
+The file descriptor underlying @var{fp} is marked not to be inherited
+by child processes.
+
+On systems that do not support pipes, this function returns
+@code{NULL}, and sets @code{errno} to @code{EINVAL}. If you would
+like to write code that is portable to all systems the @code{pex}
+functions support, consider using @code{pex_input_file} instead.
+
+There are two opportunities for deadlock using
+@code{pex_input_pipe}:
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item
+Most systems' pipes can buffer only a fixed amount of data; a process
+that writes to a full pipe blocks. Thus, if you write to @file{fp}
+before starting the first process, you run the risk of blocking when
+there is no child process yet to read the data and allow you to
+continue. @code{pex_input_pipe} makes no promises about the
+size of the pipe's buffer, so if you need to write any data at all
+before starting the first process in the pipeline, consider using
+@code{pex_input_file} instead.
+
+@item
+Using @code{pex_input_pipe} and @code{pex_read_output} together
+may also cause 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 @var{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.

+@var{flags} is a bitwise combination of the following:
+
+@table @code
+
+@vindex PEX_LAST
+@item PEX_LAST
+This must be set on the last program in the pipeline. In particular,
+it should be set when executing a single program. The standard output
+of the program will be sent to @var{outname}, or, if @var{outname} is
+@code{NULL}, to the standard output of the calling program. Do @emph{not}
+set this bit if you want to call @code{pex_read_output}
+(described below). After a call to @code{pex_run} with this bit set,
+@var{pex_run} may no longer be called with the same @var{obj}.
+
+@vindex PEX_SEARCH
+@item PEX_SEARCH
+Search for the program using the user's executable search path.
+
+@vindex PEX_SUFFIX
+@item PEX_SUFFIX
+@var{outname} is a suffix. See the description of @var{outname},

+@vindex PEX_BINARY_OUTPUT
+@vindex PEX_BINARY_ERROR
+@item PEX_BINARY_INPUT
+@itemx PEX_BINARY_OUTPUT
+@itemx PEX_BINARY_ERROR
+The standard input (output or error) of the program should be read (written) in
+binary mode rather than text mode. These flags are ignored on systems
+which do not distinguish binary mode and text mode, such as Unix. For
+proper behavior these flags should match appropriately---a call to
+@code{pex_run} using @code{PEX_BINARY_OUTPUT} should be followed by a
+call using @code{PEX_BINARY_INPUT}.
+
+@vindex PEX_STDERR_TO_PIPE
+@item PEX_STDERR_TO_PIPE
+Send the program's standard error to a pipe, if possible. This flag
+cannot be specified together with @code{PEX_STDERR_TO_STDOUT}. This
+flag can be specified only on the last program in pipeline.
+
+@end table
+
+@var{executable} is the program to execute. @var{argv} is the set of
+arguments to pass to the program; normally @code{@var{argv}[0]} will
+be a copy of @var{executable}.
+
+@var{outname} is used to set the name of the file to use for standard
+output. There are two cases in which no output file will be used:
+
+@enumerate
+@item
+if @code{PEX_LAST} is not set in @var{flags}, and @code{PEX_USE_PIPES}
+was set in the call to @code{pex_init}, and the system supports pipes
+
+@item
+if @code{PEX_LAST} is set in @var{flags}, and @var{outname} is
+@code{NULL}
+@end enumerate
+
+@noindent
+Otherwise the code will use a file to hold standard
+output. If @code{PEX_LAST} is not set, this file is considered to be
+a temporary file, and it will be removed when no longer needed, unless
+@code{PEX_SAVE_TEMPS} was set in the call to @code{pex_init}.
+
+There are two cases to consider when setting the name of the file to
+hold standard output.
+
+@enumerate
+@item
+@code{PEX_SUFFIX} is set in @var{flags}. In this case
+@var{outname} may not be @code{NULL}. If the @var{tempbase} parameter
+to @code{pex_init} was not @code{NULL}, then the output file name is
+the concatenation of @var{tempbase} and @var{outname}. If
+@var{tempbase} was @code{NULL}, then the output file name is a random
+file name ending in @var{outname}.
+
+@item
+@code{PEX_SUFFIX} was not set in @var{flags}. In this
+case, if @var{outname} is not @code{NULL}, it is used as the output
+file name. If @var{outname} is @code{NULL}, and @var{tempbase} was
+not NULL, the output file name is randomly chosen using
+@var{tempbase}. Otherwise the output file name is chosen completely
+at random.
+@end enumerate
+
+@var{errname} is the file name to use for standard error output. If
+it is @code{NULL}, standard error is the same as the caller's.
+Otherwise, standard error is written to the named file.
+
+On an error return, the code sets @code{*@var{err}} to an @code{errno}
+value, or to 0 if there is no relevant @code{errno}.

+The @code{strverscmp} function compares the string @var{s1} against

+value follows the same conventions as found in the @code{strverscmp}
+function. In fact, if @var{s1} and @var{s2} contain no digits,
+@code{strverscmp} behaves like @code{strcmp}.
+
+Basically, we compare strings normally (character by character), until
+we find a digit in each string - then we enter a special comparison
+mode, where each sequence of digits is taken as a whole. If we reach the
+end of these two parts without noticing a difference, we return to the
+standard comparison mode. There are two types of numeric parts:
+"integral" and "fractional" (those begin with a '0'). The types
+of the numeric parts affect the way we sort them:
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item
+integral/integral: we compare values as you would expect.
+
+@item
+fractional/integral: the fractional part is less than the integral one.
+Again, no surprise.
+
+@item
+fractional/fractional: the things become a bit more complex.
+If the common prefix contains only leading zeroes, the longest part is less
+than the other one; else the comparison behaves normally.
