⍝ This library contains APL wrapper functions the system function ⎕FIO
⍝
⍝ The purpose is to give functions for file I/O meaningful names instead
⍝ of difficult-to-remember numbers. The function name is normally the name
⍝ of the C-function that is called by the native function.
⍝
⍝  Legend: d - table of dirent structs
⍝          e - error code
⍝          i - integer
⍝          h - file handle (integer)
⍝          n - names (nested vector of strings)
⍝          s - string
⍝          A1, A2, ...  nested vector with elements A1, A2, ...

∇

∇Z ← FIO∆execve Bs
⍝⍝ start program Bs with opening a connection between GNU APL and the new
⍝⍝ program. The return value of FIO∆execve Bs is a handle (a file descriptor)
⍝⍝ that can be used with FIO∆fread and FIO∆fwrite for receiving data from and
⍝⍝ for sending data to the new program. The other end of the communition link
⍝⍝ (in the new program) is file descriptor 3 (STERR + 1). The new program has
⍝⍝ stdin closed (so that the program cannot steal keyboard input) but stdout
⍝⍝ left open. It is possible (although asking for trouble) for the new program
⍝⍝ to write to its stdout or stderr.
 ⍝⍝
⍝⍝ FIO∆execve is quite similar to FIO∆popen. The difference is that FIO∆popen
⍝⍝ connects to either stdin or to stdout of the new program, but not both,
⍝⍝ while FIO∆execve uses only one file descriptor (3) and the communication
⍝⍝ over that file descriptor is bidirectional.
 ⍝⍝
⍝⍝ The GNU APL end of the connection is supposed to use FIO∆fread and
⍝⍝ and FIO∆fwrite, but not FIO∆read or FIO∆write (otherwise bad things will
⍝⍝ happen).
