This program can be used as a workaround for some problems in WineHQ when runing a Linux command-line program with input/output redirection.

Due to a flaw in WineHQ (see bug#18335), a Windows process cannot detect whether a child Linux process is terminated.

Due to a bug in WineHQ (see https://stackoverflow.com/a/45545068/1300170), it incorrectly closes the inherited handle when its original is closed.

Usage examples:

  runio -n /bin/bash -c "echo test; sleep 1" && echo child is finished

  echo echo wating a second; sleep 1; echo finished | runio /bin/bash
