Hi,

Is there a way start a child process (like in start-process) with an
arbitrary set of file-descriptors attached to Emacs buffers?

What I am trying to achieve is an OTR "filter" for erc.el. The way I see
it four file descriptors to send and receive messages.


a) sending: "keyboard" -1-> otr filter -2-> erc -> network (direct or gnutls)
                            
b) receiving: network -> erc -3-> otr filter -4-> "screen"

Do you have any suggestions on this idea?

The process-filter can do whatever it needs to do, including
communicating with other process objects.
