 * @section DESCRIPTION
 * 
 * Synopsis:
 *   sys.start_process(list command, string mode [, map options])
 * 
 * Options:
 *   "keep_stdout":"true" - Start the program with the same stdout as the NCD process.
 *     Must not be present if the process is being opened for reading.
 *   "keep_stderr":"true" - Start the program with the same stderr as the NCD process.
 *   "do_setsid":"true" - Call setsid() in the child before exec. This is needed to
 *     start the 'agetty' program.
 *   "username":username_string - Start the process under the permissions of the
 *     specified user. 
 *   "term_on_deinit":"false" - do not send SIGTERM to the process when this statement
 *     is requested to terminate
 *   "deinit_kill_time":milliseconds - how long to wait for the process to terminate
 *     after this statement is requested to terminate until we send SIGKILL. If this option
 *     is not present or is "never", SIGKILL will not be sent. If this option is empty, the
 *     process will be sent SIGKILL immediately when the statement is requested to terminate.
 * 
 * Variables:
 *   is_error - "true" if there was an error starting the process, "false" if the process
 *              has been started successfully
 * 
 * Synopsis:
 *   sys.start_process::wait()
 * 
 * Variables:
 *   exit_status - the exit code if the process terminated normally, -1 if it terminated
 *                 with a signal
 * 
 * Synopsis:
 *   sys.start_process::terminate()
 *   sys.start_process::kill()
 * 
 * Synopsis:
 *   sys.start_process::read_pipe()
 * 
 * Description:
 *   Creates a read interface to the process's standard output. Data is read using the
 *   read() method on this object. Read errors are reported implicitly by this statement
 *   going down and the 'is_error' variable changing to "true".
 *   When read_pipe() is initialized for a process, it takes ownership of the read pipe
 *   to the process. When read_pipe() is requested to terminate, it will close the pipe.
 *   Attempting to initialize read_pipe() on a process which was not started with 'r'
 *   in the mode argument, or where another read_pipe() object has already taken ownership
 *   of the read pipe, will result in throwing an error to the interpreter.
 * 
 * Variables:
 *   string is_error - "true" if there was a read error, "false" if not
 * 
 * Synopsis:
 *   sys.start_process::read_pipe::read()
 * 
 * Description:
 *   Reads some data. If a read error occurs, it is reported implicitly via the
 *   read_pipe() object going down. If end of file is reached, this and any future read()
 *   operations will indicate that via the 'not_eof' variable. It is guaranteed that after
 *   EOF is reached, the read_pipe() object will not go down to report any errors.
 *   WARNING: if a read() is requested to terminate before it has completed, the
 *            read_pipe() will become unusable and any read() invocation after that will
 *            throw an error to the interpreter.
 * 
 * Variables:
 *   string (empty) - data that was read, or an empty string on EOF
 *   string not_eof - "true" is EOF was not reached, "false" if it was
 * 
 * Synopsis:
 *   sys.start_process::write_pipe()
 * 
 * Description:
 *   Creates a write interface to the process's standard input. Data is written using the
 *   write() method on this object. Write errors are reported implicitly by this statement
 *   going down and the ''is_error variable changing to "true".
 *   When write_pipe() is initialized for a process, it takes ownership of the write pipe
 *   to the process. When write_pipe() is requested to terminate, it will close the pipe
 *   (unless the close() has been used).
 *   Attempting to initialize write_pipe() on a process which was not started with 'w'
 *   in the mode argument, or where another write_pipe() object has already taken ownership
 *   of the write pope, will result in throwing an error to the interpreter.
 * 
 * Variables:
 *   string is_error - "true" if there was a write error, "false" if not
 * 
 * Synopsis:
 *   sys.start_process::write_pipe::write(string data)
 * 
 * Description:
 *   Writes the given data. If a write error occurs, it is reported implicitly via the
 *   write_pipe() object going down.
 *   WARNING: if a write() is requested to terminate before it has completed, the
 *            write_pipe() will become unusable and any write() or close() invocation after
 *            that will throw an error to the interpreter.
 * 
 * Synopsis:
 *   sys.start_process::write_pipe::close(string data)
 * 
 * Description:
 *   Closes the write pipe. This will make whatever is reading the other end of the pipe
 *   encounter EOF after it has read any pending data. It is guaranteed that after the
 *   pipe is closed, the write_pipe() object will not go down to report any errors.
 *   After close() is performed, any further write() or close() calls are disallowed and
 *   will throw errors to the interpreter.
