+There are two opportunities for deadlock using

+
+@itemize @bullet

+Most systems' pipes can buffer only a fixed amount of data; a process
+that writes to a full pipe blocks. Thus, if you write to @file{fp}
+before starting the first process, you run the risk of blocking when
+there is no child process yet to read the data and allow you to
+continue. @code{pex_input_pipe} makes no promises about the
+size of the pipe's buffer, so if you need to write any data at all
+before starting the first process in the pipeline, consider using
+@code{pex_input_file} instead.
+
+@item
+Using @code{pex_input_pipe} and @code{pex_read_output} together
+may also cause deadlock. If the output pipe fills up, so that each
+program in the pipeline is waiting for the next to read more data, and
+you fill the input pipe by writing more data to @var{fp}, then there
+is no way to make progress: the only process that could read data from
+the output pipe is you, but you are blocked on the input pipe.

+@c strverscmp.c:25
+@deftypefun int strverscmp (const char *@var{s1}, const char *@var{s2})
+The @code{strverscmp} function compares the string @var{s1} against
+@var{s2}, considering them as holding indices/version numbers. Return
+value follows the same conventions as found in the @code{strverscmp}
+function. In fact, if @var{s1} and @var{s2} contain no digits,
+@code{strverscmp} behaves like @code{strcmp}.
+
+Basically, we compare strings normally (character by character), until
+we find a digit in each string - then we enter a special comparison
+mode, where each sequence of digits is taken as a whole. If we reach the
+end of these two parts without noticing a difference, we return to the
+standard comparison mode. There are two types of numeric parts:
+"integral" and "fractional" (those begin with a '0'). The types
+of the numeric parts affect the way we sort them:
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item
+integral/integral: we compare values as you would expect.
+
+@item
+fractional/integral: the fractional part is less than the integral one.
+Again, no surprise.
+
+@item
+fractional/fractional: the things become a bit more complex.
+If the common prefix contains only leading zeroes, the longest part is less
+than the other one; else the comparison behaves normally.

+
+This function is especially useful when dealing with filename sorting,
+because filenames frequently hold indices/version numbers.
