/* In this article, I will explain how to spawn a console application
 * and redirect its standard input/output using anonymous pipes. An
 * anonymous pipe is a pipe that goes only in one direction (read
 * pipe, write pipe, etc.). Maybe you are asking, "why would I ever
 * need to do this sort of thing?" One example would be a Windows
 * telnet server, where you spawn a shell and listen on a port and
 * send and receive data between the shell and the socket
 * client. (Windows does not really have a built-in remote
 * shell). First, we should talk about pipes. A pipe in Windows is
 * simply a method of communication, often between process. The SDK
 * defines a pipe as "a communication conduit with two ends;
 a process
 * with a handle to one end can communicate with a process having a
 * handle to the other end." In our case, we are using "anonymous"
 * pipes, one-way pipes that "transfer data between a parent process
 * and a child process or between two child processes of the same
 * parent process." It's easiest to imagine a pipe as its namesake. An
 * actual pipe running between processes that can carry data. We are
 * using anonymous pipes because the console app we are spawning is a
 * child process. We use the CreatePipe function which will create an
 * anonymous pipe and return a read handle and a write handle. We will
 * create two pipes, on for stdin and one for stdout. We will then
 * monitor the read end of the stdout pipe to check for display on our
 * child process. Every time there is something availabe for reading,
 * we will display it in our app. Consequently, we check for input in
 * our app and send it off to the write end of the stdin pipe. */

/*
 * Wrapper for fclose() to use for popen* files, so we can retrieve the
 * exit code for the child process and return as a result of the close.
 *
 * This function uses the _PyPopenProcs dictionary in order to map the
 * input file pointer to information about the process that was
 * originally created by the popen* call that created the file pointer.
 * The dictionary uses the file pointer as a key (with one entry
 * inserted for each file returned by the original popen* call) and a
 * single list object as the value for all files from a single call.
 * The list object contains the Win32 process handle at [0], and a file
 * count at [1], which is initialized to the total number of file
 * handles using that list.
 *
 * This function closes whichever handle it is passed, and decrements
 * the file count in the dictionary for the process handle pointed to
 * by this file.  On the last close (when the file count reaches zero),
 * this function will wait for the child process and then return its
 * exit code as the result of the close() operation.  This permits the
 * files to be closed in any order - it is always the close() of the
 * final handle that will return the exit code.
