+ * Header which provides the io properties. It provides the following properties:

+\xmlonly
+<programlisting>
+namespace boost {
+ namespace process {
+ <emphasis>unspecified</emphasis> <globalname alt="boost::process::close">close</globalname>;
+ <emphasis>unspecified</emphasis> <globalname alt="boost::process::null">null</globalname>;
+ <emphasis>unspecified</emphasis> <globalname alt="boost::process::std_in">std_in</globalname>;
+ <emphasis>unspecified</emphasis> <globalname alt="boost::process::std_out">std_out</globalname>;
+ <emphasis>unspecified</emphasis> <globalname alt="boost::process::std_err">std_err</globalname>;
+ }
+}
+</programlisting>
+\endxmlonly
+
+\par File I/O
+
+The library allows full redirection of streams to files as shown below.
+
+\code{.cpp}
+boost::filesystem::path log = "my_log_file.txt";
+boost::filesystem::path input = "input.txt";
+boost::filesystem::path output = "output.txt";
+system("my_prog", std_out>output, std_in<input, std_err>log);
+\endcode
+
+\par Synchronous Pipe I/O
+
+Another way is to communicate through pipes.
+
+\code{.cpp}
+pstream str;
+child c("my_prog", std_out > str);
+
+int i;
+str >> i;
+\endcode
+
+Note that the pipe may also be used between several processes, like this:
+
+\code{.cpp}
+pipe p;
+child c1("nm", "a.out", std_out>p);
+child c2("c++filt", std_in<p);
+\endcode
+
+\par Asynchronous I/O
+
+Utilizing `boost.asio` asynchronous I/O is provided.
+
+\code
+boost::asio::io_service ios;
+std::future<std::string> output;
+system("ls", std_out > output, ios);
+
+auto res = fut.get();
+\endcode
+
+\note `boost/process/asnyc.hpp` must also be included for this to work.
+
+\par Closing
+
+Stream can be closed, so nothing can be read or written.
+
+\code{.cpp}
+system("foo", std_in.close());
+\endcode
+
+\par Null
+
+Streams can be redirected to null, which means, that written date will be
+discarded and read data will only contain `EOF`.
+
+\code{.cpp}
+system("b2", std_out > null);
+\endcode

+This property allows to set the input stream for the child process.
+
+\section stdin_details Details
+
+\subsection stdin_file File Input
+
+The file I/O simple redirects the stream to a file, for which the possible types are
+
+ - `boost::filesystem::path`
+ - `std::basic_string<char_type>`
+ - `const char_type*`
+ - `FILE*`
+
+with `char_type` being either `char` or `wchar_t`.
+
+FILE* is explicitly added, so the process can easily redirect the output stream
+of the child to another output stream of the process. That is:
+
+\code{.cpp}
+system("ls", std_in < stdin);
+\endcode
+
+\warning If the launching and the child process use the input, this leads to undefined behaviour.
+
+A syntax like `system("ls", std_out > std::cerr)` is not possible, due to the C++
+implementation not providing access to the handle.
+
+The valid expressions for this property are
+
+\code{.cpp}
+std_in < file;
+std_in = file;
+\endcode
+
+\subsection stdin_pipe Pipe Input
+
+As explained in the corresponding section, the boost.process library provides a
+@ref boost::process::async_pipe "async_pipe" class which can be
+used to communicate with child processes.
+
+\note Technically the @ref boost::process::async_pipe "async_pipe"
+works synchronous here, since no asio implementation is used by the library here.
+The async-operation will then however not end if the process is finished, since
+the pipe remains open. You can use the async_close function with on_exit to fix that.
+
+Valid expressions with pipes are these:
+
+\code{.cpp}
+std_in < pipe;
+std_in = pipe;
+\endcode
+
+Where the valid types for `pipe` are the following:
+
+ - `basic_pipe`
+ - `async_pipe`
+ - `basic_opstream`
+ - `basic_pstream`
+
+Note that the pipe may also be used between several processes, like this:
+
+\code{.cpp}
+pipe p;
+child c1("nm", "a.out", std_out>p);
+child c2("c++filt", std_in<p);
+\endcode
+
+\subsection stdin_async_pipe Asynchronous Pipe Input
+
+Asynchronous Pipe I/O classifies communication which has automatically handling
+of the asynchronous operations by the process library. This means, that a pipe will be
+constructed, the async_read/-write will be automatically started, and that the
+end of the child process will also close the pipe.
+
+Valid types for pipe I/O are the following:
+
+ - `boost::asio::const_buffer` \xmlonly <footnote><para> Constructed with <code>boost::asio::buffer</code></para></footnote> \endxmlonly
+ - `boost::asio::mutable_buffer` \xmlonly <footnote><para> Constructed with <code>boost::asio::buffer</code></para></footnote> \endxmlonly
+ - `boost::asio::streambuf`
+
+Valid expressions with pipes are these:
+
+\code{.cpp}
+std_in < buffer;
+std_in = buffer;
+std_out > buffer;
+std_out = buffer;
+std_err > buffer;
+std_err = buffer;
+(std_out & std_err) > buffer;
+(std_out & std_err) = buffer;
+\endcode
+
+\note It is also possible to get a future for std_in, by chaining another `std::future<void>` onto it,
+so you can wait for the input to be completed. It looks like this:
+\code{.cpp}
+std::future<void> fut;
+boost::asio::io_service ios;
+std::string data;
+child c("prog", std_in < buffer(data) > fut, ios);
+fut.get();
+\endcode
+
+
+\note `boost::asio::buffer` is also available in the `boost::process` namespace.
+
+\warning This feature requires `boost/process/async.hpp` to be included and a reference to `boost::asio::io_service` to be passed to the launching function.
+
+
+\subsection stdin_close Close
+
+The input stream can be closed, so it cannot be read from. This will lead to an error when attempted.
+
+This can be achieved by the following syntax.
+
+\code{.cpp}
+std_in < close;
+std_in = close;
+std_in.close();
+\endcode
+
+\subsection stdin_null Null
+
+The input stream can be redirected to read from the null-device, which means that only `EOF` is read.
+
+The syntax to achieve that has the following variants:
+
+\code{.cpp}
+std_in < null;
+std_in = null;
+std_in.null();
+\endcode
+
+*/
+
+constexpr boost::process::detail::std_in_<void> std_in;
+
+/**
+This property allows to set the output stream for the child process.
+
+\note The Semantic is the same as for \xmlonly <globalname alt="boost::process::std_err">std_err</globalname> \endxmlonly
+
+\note `std_err` and `std_out` can be combined into one stream, with the `operator &`, i.e. `std_out & std_err`.
+
+\section stdout_details Details
+
+\subsection stdout_file File Input
+
+The file I/O simple redirects the stream to a file, for which the possible types are
+
+ - `boost::filesystem::path`
+ - `std::basic_string<char_type>`
+ - `const char_type*`
+ - `FILE*`
+
+with `char_type` being either `char` or `wchar_t`.
+
+FILE* is explicitly added, so the process can easily redirect the output stream
+of the child to another output stream of the process. That is:

+\subsection stdout_pipe Pipe Output

+As explained in the corresponding section, the boost.process library provides a

+ - `async_pipe`
+ - `basic_ipstream`

+\warning This feature requires `boost/process/async.hpp` to be included and a reference to `boost::asio::io_service` to be passed to the launching function.
+
+
+\subsection stdout_close Close
+
+The out stream can be closed, so it cannot be write from.
+This will lead to an error when attempted.
+
+This can be achieved by the following syntax.
+
+\code{.cpp}
