/* A function to execute a child program and feed the input line-by-line back
 * to the calling program. The function mst be called with a callback function
 * that will receive each line as it is read in, a program to execute and the
 * command line arguments for that program.
 *
 * There are two versions of this function: one that takes the command line
 * arguments as variadic parameters delimited with a NULL pointer and one that
 * takes an array of parameters with a length specified for the array.

/* ********************************************************************
 * An even more comprehensive command-line parsing mechanism. This method
 * allows the program to have long options (--name=value) short options
 * (-n value or -nvalue or -abcnvalue) mixed with non-options (arguments
 * without a '-' or '--'.

 * A more robust command-line handling function than I normally use.
 * There are only two functions, so this is suitable for copying and
 * pasting into the file containing main().
