/**
* @file runcmd.h
* @brief runcmd library function declarations
*
* A simple interface to executing programs from other programs, using an
* optimized and safer popen()-like implementation. It is considered safer in
* that no shell needs to be spawned for simple commands, and the environment
* passed to the execve()'d program is essentially empty.
*
* This code is based on popen.c, which in turn was taken from
* "Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment" by W. Richard Stevens.
*
* Care has been taken to make sure the functions are async-safe. The exception
* is runcmd_init() which multithreaded applications or plugins must call in a
* non-reentrant manner before calling any other runcmd function.
*
* @note This is inherited from the nagiosplugins project, although
* it might need refactoring for performance later.
