# usage: $pid = open3('wtr', 'rdr', 'err' 'some cmd and args', 'optarg', ...);
#
# spawn the given $cmd and connect rdr for
# reading, wtr for writing, and err for errors.
# if err is '', or the same as rdr, then stdout and
# stderr of the child are on the same fh. returns pid
# of child, or 0 on failure.
# if wtr begins with '>&', then wtr will be closed in the parent, and
# the child will read from it directly. if rdr or err begins with
# '>&', then the child will send output directly to that fd. In both
# cases, there will be a dup() instead of a pipe() made.
# WARNING: this is dangerous, as you may block forever
# unless you are very careful.
#
# $wtr is left unbuffered.
#
# abort program if
# rdr or wtr are null
# pipe or fork or exec fails
