@deftypefn {Built-in Function} {[@var{in}, @var{out}, @var{pid}] =} popen2 (@var{command}, @var{args})\n\
Start a subprocess with two-way communication.  The name of the process\n\
is given by @var{command}, and @var{args} is an array of strings\n\
containing options for the command.  The file identifiers for the input\n\
and output streams of the subprocess are returned in @var{in} and\n\
@var{out}.  If execution of the command is successful, @var{pid}\n\
contains the process ID of the subprocess.  Otherwise, @var{pid} is\n\
@minus{}1.\n\
\n\
For example:\n\
\n\
@example\n\
[in, out, pid] = popen2 (\"sort\", \"-r\");\n\
fputs (in, \"these\\nare\\nsome\\nstrings\\n\");\n\
