The first reads from stdin and sends the info to  the  master  device.\nThe  next process reads from the master device and sends stuff to stdout.  The last processes\nis the rest of the command line arguments exec'd.  By doing all this, the exec'd  process  is\nfooled into flushing each line of output as it occurs.\n",
