+ libpipeline is a C library for setting up and running pipelines of
+ processes, without needing to involve shell command-line parsing which is
+ often error-prone and insecure.  This alleviates programmers of the need to
+ laboriously construct pipelines using lower-level primitives such as fork(2)
+ and execve(2)."
