The NSFileHandle that you pass to setStandardOutput: doesn't have to
represent a file; it can also represent a pipe. There's an example of
this in the Cocoa Developer docs. It's under "File, Resource and Process
Management > interacting with the Operating System."
If you have the developer docs installed in the default location, this
URL should do it:
<URL:
file://localhost/Developer/Documentation/Cocoa/TasksAndConcepts/ProgrammingTopics/
OperatingSystem/index.html#//apple_ref/10000058i>
