- Due to the design of POSIX, it is possible to temporarily overload the
- file descriptors corresponding to stdout and stderr to point to an
- arbitrary pipe. It is, however, tricky to get right. This module gets
- it right, as far as such a terrible hack can be made right. It can be
- used to make misbehaving third-party C libraries stop spewing to
- standard output. Warning: the module author has concluded that due to
- lack of portability, this module should not be used in any serious
- sytem. But, for those who like living dangerously...
