/**
* Formatted pipe stream to or from a process
* @param type A popen() type, "r" or "w", can also include "e" for @c O_CLOEXEC.
* @param fmt Formatted string to be composed into a shell command line.
*
* This function is an extension to popen(), lessening the burden of
* first having to compose the filename from parts in a seprate buffer.
*
* @returns Upon successful completion, popenf() returns a FILE pointer.
* Otherwise, @c NULL is returned and @a errno is set to indicate the
* error.
