Detailed Description

   template<typename CharT, typename Traits = std::char_traits<CharT>>
       class redi::basic_ipstream< CharT, Traits >" Class template for Input PStreams.

       Reading from an ipstream reads the command's standard output and/or standard error
       (depending on how the ipstream is opened) and the command's standard input is the same as
       that of the process that created the object, unless altered by the command itself.

       [explicit]
       Constructor that initialises the stream by starting a process. Initialises the stream
       buffer by calling do_open() with the supplied arguments.

       Parameters
           cmd a string containing a shell command.
           mode the I/O mode to use when opening the pipe.

       buffer by calling do_open() with the supplied arguments.

       Parameters
           file a string containing the pathname of a program to execute.
           argv a vector of argument strings passed to the new program.

       [explicit]
       Constructor that initialises the stream by starting a process. Initialises the stream
       buffer by calling do_open(argv[0],argv,mode|pstdout)

       Parameters
           argv a vector of argument strings passed to the new program.
