[Chicken-users] Controlling output of processes

[Lasse Kliemann]

How can I start a process and control where it sends its stdout 
or stderr? I know that I can do:

(receive
   (p-stdout p-stdin p-pid p-stderr)
   (process* command args)
   (...))

This gives input and output ports connected to the process. But 
how can I express, e.g.: "everything available on port p-stdout 
should go to (current-output-port)"? Or similar statements 
involving p-stdout and/or p-stderr? I could use a loop that reads 
from those ports and writes to (current-output-port) until it 
sees EOF. But this feels plain wrong. In particular, when 
forwarding both p-stdout and p-stderr, this would not represent 
the order in which the process generated the output (but it would 
first show all its stdout and then all its stderr, or vice 
versa).

Can you give me some suggestions?
