+//! \brief Closes `stdin` and `stdout` by opening `/dev/null` over them.

[Robert Sesek, 2014/12/19 18:12:05]

It may be advisable to mention that is is only safe when single-threaded, or
when you have guarantees over the other threads in the process.

+//!
+//! It is normally inadvisable to `close()` the three standard input/output
+//! streams, because they occupy special file descriptors. Closing them outright
+//! could result in their file descriptors being reused. This causes problems
+//! for library code (including the standard library) that expects these file
+//! descriptors to have special meaning.
+//!
+//! This function discards the standard input and standard output streams by
+//! opening `/dev/null` and assigning it to their file descriptors, closing
+//! whatever had been at those file descriptors previously.
+//!
+//! `stderr`, the standard error stream, is not closed. It is often useful to
+//! retain the ability to send diagnostic messages to the standard error stream.
