/*!
 * \brief Hybrid of popen() and execve() returning a file descriptor
 *
 * This function is a safer altervative to popen(), it is the same to
 * popen() as execve() is to system().
 *
 * Warning: this function is designed to be as simple as possible,
 *          for reliable operation proper checking for transient
 *          error is needed.
 *
 * \param binfile   Executable file to be executed.
 * \param args      NULL-terminated arguments; first shall be the prog name!
 * \param env       NULL-terminated environment variables "key=value"
 * \param drop_cap  Drop capabilities for the subprocess.
 *
 * \retval < 0   Error occured, set to -errno.
 * \return > 0   File descriptor of the pipe reading end.
