Implement piping #14

Closed Arcterus closed 6 years ago

Arcterus commented 6 years ago

The relevant sections are mostly in src/posix/sh/command.rs. ~We can't just use ChildStdin/ChildStdout/ChildStderr because we need to support other file descriptors as well, so we need to create the pipes manually using nix.~

EDIT: dunno why I wrote the above, but ChildStdout should be passed into the next command as its stdin.

This requires some sort of method to spawn commands without waiting for them to finish (as they need to be started at the same time).
