#pragma once

// This code exists to perform the shuffling of file descriptors which is
// commonly needed when forking subprocesses. The naive approve is very simple,
// just call dup2 to setup the desired descriptors, but wrong. It's tough to
// handle the edge cases (like mapping 0 -> 1, 1 -> 0) correctly.
//
// In order to unittest this code, it's broken into the abstract action (an
// injective multimap) and the concrete code for dealing with file descriptors.
// Users should use the code like this:
//   base::InjectiveMultimap file_descriptor_map;
//   file_descriptor_map.push_back(base::InjectionArc(devnull, 0, true));
//   file_descriptor_map.push_back(base::InjectionArc(devnull, 2, true));
//   file_descriptor_map.push_back(base::InjectionArc(pipe[1], 1, true));
//   base::ShuffleFileDescriptors(file_descriptor_map);
//
// and trust the the Right Thing will get done.
