+/* Return a `FILE' pointer FP for the standard input of the first
+   program in the pipeline; FP is opened for writing.  You must have
+   passed `PEX_USE_PIPES' to the `pex_init' call that returned OBJ.
+   You must close FP yourself with `fclose' to indicate that the
+   pipeline's input is complete.
+
+   The file descriptor underlying FP is marked not to be inherited by
+   child processes.
+
+   This call is not supported on systems which do not support pipes;
+   it returns with an error.  (We could implement it by writing a
+   temporary file, but then you would need to write all your data and
+   close FP before your first call to `pex_run' -- and that wouldn't
+   work on systems that do support pipes: the pipe would fill up, and
+   you would block.  So there isn't any easy way to conceal the
+   differences between the two types of systems.)
+
+   If you call both `pex_write_input' and `pex_read_output', be
+   careful to avoid 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 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.  */
