> The `ProcessBuilder.pipelineStart()` implementation does not close all of the > file descriptors it uses to create the pipeline of processes. > > The process calling `pipelineStart()` is creating the pipes between the > stages. > As each process is launched, the file descriptor is inherited by the child > process and > the child process `dup`s them to the respective stdin/stdout/stderr fd. > These copies of inherited file descriptors are handled correctly. > > Between the launching of each Process, the file descriptor for the read-side > of the pipe for the output of the previous process is kept open (in the > parent process invoking `pipelineStart`).
