    "Run program specified by COMMAND,
either a list of strings specifying a program and list of arguments,
or a string specifying a shell command (/bin/sh on Unix, CMD.EXE on Windows).

Always call a shell (rather than directly execute the command when possible)
Signal a continuable SUBPROCESS-ERROR if the process wasn't successful (exit-code 0),
unless IGNORE-ERROR-STATUS is specified.

If OUTPUT is a pathname, a string designating a pathname, or NIL designating the null device,
the file at that path is used as output.
If it's :INTERACTIVE, output is inherited from the current process;
beware that this may be different from your *STANDARD-OUTPUT*,
and under SLIME will be on your *inferior-lisp* buffer.
If it's T, output goes to your current *STANDARD-OUTPUT* stream.
Otherwise, OUTPUT should be a value that is a suitable first argument to
SLURP-INPUT-STREAM (qv.), or a list of such a value and keyword arguments.
In this case, RUN-PROGRAM will create a temporary stream for the program output;
the program output, in that stream, will be processed by a call to SLURP-INPUT-STREAM,
using OUTPUT as the first argument (or the first element of OUTPUT, and the rest as keywords).
The primary value resulting from that call (or NIL if no call was needed)
will be the first value returned by RUN-PROGRAM.
E.g., using :OUTPUT :STRING will have it return the entire output stream as a string.
And using :OUTPUT '(:STRING :STRIPPED T) will have it return the same string
stripped of any ending newline.

ERROR-OUTPUT is similar to OUTPUT, except that the resulting value is returned
as the second value of RUN-PROGRAM. T designates the *ERROR-OUTPUT*.
Also :OUTPUT means redirecting the error output to the output stream,
in which case NIL is returned.

INPUT is similar to OUTPUT, except that VOMIT-OUTPUT-STREAM is used,
no value is returned, and T designates the *STANDARD-INPUT*.

Use ELEMENT-TYPE and EXTERNAL-FORMAT are passed on
to your Lisp implementation, when applicable, for creation of the output stream.

One and only one of the stream slurping or vomiting may or may not happen
in parallel in parallel with the subprocess,
depending on options and implementation,
and with priority being given to output processing.
Other streams are completely produced or consumed
before or after the subprocess is spawned, using temporary files.

RUN-PROGRAM returns 3 values:
0- the result of the OUTPUT slurping if any, or NIL
1- the result of the ERROR-OUTPUT slurping if any, or NIL
2- either 0 if the subprocess exited with success status,
or an indication of failure via the EXIT-CODE of the process"
