Detailed Description
template<typename CharT, typename Traits = std::char_traits<CharT>> class
redi::basic_pstream< CharT, Traits >
Class template for Bidirectional PStreams.
Writing to a pstream opened with pmode pstdin writes to the standard
input of the command. Reading from a pstream opened with pmode pstdout
and/or pstderr reads the command’s standard output and/or standard
error. Any of the process’ stdin, stdout or stderr that is not
connected to the pstream (as specified by the pmode) will be the same
as the process that created the pstream object, unless altered by the
command itself.

template<typename CharT, typename Traits = std::char_traits<CharT>>
redi::basic_pstream< CharT, Traits >::basic_pstream (const std::string
& command, pmode mode = pstdout|pstdin) [inline]
Constructor that initialises the stream by starting a process.
Initialises the stream buffer by calling do_open() with the supplied
arguments.
Parameters:
command a string containing a shell command.
mode the I/O mode to use when opening the pipe.

redi::basic_pstream< CharT, Traits >::basic_pstream (const std::string
& file, const argv_type & argv, pmode mode = pstdout|pstdin) [inline]
Constructor that initialises the stream by starting a process.
Initialises the stream buffer by calling do_open() with the supplied
arguments.
Parameters:
file a string containing the pathname of a program to execute.
argv a vector of argument strings passed to the new program.
mode the I/O mode to use when opening the pipe.
