Name
external_start() - start an external command
Synopsis
int external_start( int which, string args, mixed read_cb,
mixed write_cb, mixed close_cb );
Description
`which' specifies which of the 5 external commands specified in the config file to run. `args' are the arguments to pass to the command. The driver then starts up the specified command, and sets up an LPC socket to communicate with the input and output of the command. The file descriptor of the LPC socket is returned.
