/*
* Using .in, .out, .err:
* - Specify 0 for no redirections (child inherits stdin, stdout,
* stderr from parent).
* - Specify -1 to have a pipe allocated as follows:
* .in: returns the writable pipe end; parent writes to it,
* the readable pipe end becomes child's stdin
* .out, .err: returns the readable pipe end; parent reads from
* it, the writable pipe end becomes child's stdout/stderr
* The caller of start_command() must close the returned FDs
* after it has completed reading from/writing to it!
* - Specify > 0 to set a channel to a particular FD as follows:
* .in: a readable FD, becomes child's stdin
* .out: a writable FD, becomes child's stdout/stderr
* .err > 0 not supported
* The specified FD is closed by start_command(), even in case
* of errors!

Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
