  pipestatus - source file for POSIX shell that allows
  to obtain an exit status of every program in a pipe.

                          MOTIVATION

  When we program in shell we often run pipes like this

      prog1 args1 | prog2 args2 | ... | progN argsN

  POSIX says that exit status of pipe is the exit status of LAST program
  in it, i.e.  progN in our example. That is, exit status of all other
  programs in pipe is silently ignored.  But in many situations exit
  status of all programs in pipe should be checked to make program
  robust. Some shells like BASH and ZSH have special extensions for
  doing this but POSIX shell unfortunately doesn't provide an EASY way
  for doing this.

  In order to solve the problem, described above pipestatus was written.
