35/// Although this looks similar to `anon_pipe` in the Unix module it's actually
36/// subtly different. Here we'll return two pipes in the `Pipes` return value,
37/// but one is intended for "us" where as the other is intended for "someone
38/// else".
39///
40/// Currently the only use case for this function is pipes for stdio on
41/// processes in the standard library, so "ours" is the one that'll stay in our
42/// process whereas "theirs" will be inherited to a child.
43///
44/// The ours/theirs pipes are *not* specifically readable or writable. Each
45/// one only supports a read or a write, but which is which depends on the
46/// boolean flag given. If `ours_readable` is `true`, then `ours` is readable and
47/// `theirs` is writable. Conversely, if `ours_readable` is `false`, then `ours`
48/// is writable and `theirs` is readable.
49///
50/// Also note that the `ours` pipe is always a handle opened up in overlapped
51/// mode. This means that technically speaking it should only ever be used
52/// with `OVERLAPPED` instances, but also works out ok if it's only ever used
53/// once at a time (which we do indeed guarantee).
