    Cmd(cmd::Cmd; ignorestatus, detach, windows_verbatim, windows_hide, env, dir)

Construct a new `Cmd` object, representing an external program and arguments, from `cmd`,
while changing the settings of the optional keyword arguments:

* `ignorestatus::Bool`: If `true` (defaults to `false`), then the `Cmd` will not throw an
  error if the return code is nonzero.
* `detach::Bool`: If `true` (defaults to `false`), then the `Cmd` will be run in a new
  process group, allowing it to outlive the `julia` process and not have Ctrl-C passed to
  it.
* `windows_verbatim::Bool`: If `true` (defaults to `false`), then on Windows the `Cmd` will
  send a command-line string to the process with no quoting or escaping of arguments, even
  arguments containing spaces. (On Windows, arguments are sent to a program as a single
  "command-line" string, and programs are responsible for parsing it into arguments. By
  default, empty arguments and arguments with spaces or tabs are quoted with double quotes
  `"` in the command line, and `\\` or `"` are preceded by backslashes.
  `windows_verbatim=true` is useful for launching programs that parse their command line in
  nonstandard ways.) Has no effect on non-Windows systems.
* `windows_hide::Bool`: If `true` (defaults to `false`), then on Windows no new console
  window is displayed when the `Cmd` is executed. This has no effect if a console is
  already open or on non-Windows systems.
* `env`: Set environment variables to use when running the `Cmd`. `env` is either a
  dictionary mapping strings to strings, an array of strings of the form `"var=val"`, an
  array or tuple of `"var"=>val` pairs, or `nothing`. In order to modify (rather than
  replace) the existing environment, create `env` by `copy(ENV)` and then set
  `env["var"]=val` as desired.
* `dir::AbstractString`: Specify a working directory for the command (instead
  of the current directory).

For any keywords that are not specified, the current settings from `cmd` are used. Normally,
to create a `Cmd` object in the first place, one uses backticks, e.g.

    Cmd(`echo "Hello world"`, ignorestatus=true, detach=false)

Redirect I/O to or from the given `command`. Keyword arguments specify which of the

`pipeline(from, to)` is equivalent to `pipeline(from, stdout=to)` when `from` is a command,
and to `pipeline(to, stdin=from)` when `from` is another kind of data source.

    pipeline(from, to, ...)

Create a pipeline from a data source to a destination. The source and destination can be
commands, I/O streams, strings, or results of other `pipeline` calls. At least one argument
must be a command. Strings refer to filenames. When called with more than two arguments,
they are chained together from left to right. For example `pipeline(a,b,c)` is equivalent to
`pipeline(pipeline(a,b),c)`. This provides a more concise way to specify multi-stage
pipelines.

**Examples**:

```julia
run(pipeline(`ls`, `grep xyz`))
run(pipeline(`ls`, "out.txt"))
run(pipeline("out.txt", `grep xyz`))
