                       in which case use those file descriptors.
                       (Not available on all systems.)

        @param childFDs: A dictionary mapping file descriptors in the new child
                         process to an integer or to the string 'r' or 'w'.

                         If the value is an integer, it specifies a file
                         descriptor in the parent process which will be mapped
                         to a file descriptor (specified by the key) in the
                         child process.  This is useful for things like inetd
                         and shell-like file redirection.

                         If it is the string 'r', a pipe will be created and
                         attached to the child at that file descriptor: the
                         child will be able to write to that file descriptor
                         and the parent will receive read notification via the
                         L{IProcessProtocol.childDataReceived} callback.  This
                         is useful for the child's stdout and stderr.

                         If it is the string 'w', similar setup to the previous
                         case will occur, with the pipe being readable by the
                         child instead of writeable.  The parent process can
                         write to that file descriptor using
                         L{IProcessTransport.writeToChild}.  This is useful for
                         the child's stdin.

                         If childFDs is not passed, the default behaviour is to
                         use a mapping that opens the usual stdin/stdout/stderr
                         pipes.
