<var>Pipe_in</var>.

<p>
This call is overloaded. The in and out pipe can take three forms:
an typed or untyped file, a text file or a file descriptor.
</p>
<p>
If a text file is passed then reading and writing from/to the pipe
can be done through the usual <var>Readln(Pipe_in,...)</var> and
<var>Writeln(Pipe_out,...)</var> procedures.

The function returns <var>True</var> if everything went succesfully,
<var>False</var> otherwise.

input, one for output,(and one for standard error) the other ends of these 
pipes are connected to standard input and output (and standard error) of 
<var>Prog</var>. <var>Prog</var> is the name of a program (including path) with options,
 which will be executed.

What is written to <var>StreamOut</var>, will go to the standard input of
<var>Prog</var>. Whatever is written by <var>Prog</var> to it's standard output 
can be read from <var>StreamIn</var>. 
Whatever is written by <var>Prog</var> to it's standard error read from

<p>
Reading and writing happens through the usual <var>Readln(StreamIn,...)</var> and

<remark>
You should <em> not</em> use <var>Reset</var> or <var>Rewrite</var> on a 
file opened with <var>POpen</var>. This will close the file before re-opening 
it again, thereby closing the connection with the program.

When the child process is created, it starts executing the function
<var>Func</var>, and passes it <var>Args</var>. The return value of <var>Func</var> is 
either the explicit return value of the function, or the exit code of
the child process.

The <var>sp</var> pointer points to the memory reserved as stack space for the
child process. This address should be the top of the memory block to be used
as stack.

The <var>Flags</var> determine the behaviour of the <var>Clone</var> call. The low
byte of the Flags contains the number of the signal that will be  sent to 
the parent when  the child dies.

<dd> Parent and child share the same memory space, including
memory (un)mapped with subsequent <var>mmap</var> calls.</dd>
<dt>CLONE_FS</dt>

Clone returns the process ID in the parent process, and -1 if an error

</p>
<p>
<var>readfds, writefds</var> and <var>exceptfds</var> are pointers to arrays of 256
bits. If you want a file descriptor to be checked, you set the
corresponding element in the array to 1. The other elements in the array
must be set to zero. Three arrays are passed : The entries in <var>readfds</var>
are checked to see if characters become available for reading. The entries
in <var>writefds</var> are checked to see if it is OK to write to them, while
entries in <var>exceptfds</var> are cheked to see if an exception occorred on
them.
</p>
<p>
You can use the functions <link id="FD_ZERO"/>
<link id="FD_Clr"/>,
<link id="FD_Set"/> or
<link id="FD_IsSet"/> to manipulate the individual elements of a set.
</p>
<p>
The pointers can be <var>Nil</var>.
</p>
<p>
<var>N</var> is the largest index of a nonzero entry plus 1. (= the largest
file-descriptor + 1).

<p>
<var>TimeOut</var> can be used to set a time limit.
If <var>TimeOut</var> can be two types :
</p>
<ol>
<li><var>TimeOut</var> is of type <var>PTime</var> and contains a
zero time, the call returns immediately. If <var>TimeOut</var> is <var>Nil</var>, the
kernel will wait forever, or until a status changed. </li>
<li><var>TimeOut</var> is of type <var>Longint</var>. If it is -1, this has the same
effect as a <var>Timeout</var> of type  <var>PTime</var> which is <var>Nil</var>.
Otherwise, <var>TimeOut</var> contains a time in milliseconds.</li>
</ol>
<p>
When the TimeOut is reached, or one of the file descriptors has changed,
the <var>Select</var> call returns. On return, it will have modified the entries
in the array which have actually changed, and it returns the number of
entries that have been changed. If the timout was reached, and no decsriptor
changed, zero is returned; The arrays of indexes are undefined after that.
On error, -1 is returned.
