Other parameters:
- * *stdin*: either a file-like object representing a pipe to be
- connected to the subprocess's standard input stream using
- :meth:`~loop.connect_write_pipe`, or the
- :const:`subprocess.PIPE` constant (default). By default a new
- pipe will be created and connected.
-
- * *stdout*: either a file-like object representing the pipe to be
- connected to the subprocess's standard output stream using
- :meth:`~loop.connect_read_pipe`, or the
- :const:`subprocess.PIPE` constant (default). By default a new pipe
- will be created and connected.
-
- * *stderr*: either a file-like object representing the pipe to be
- connected to the subprocess's standard error stream using
- :meth:`~loop.connect_read_pipe`, or one of
- :const:`subprocess.PIPE` (default) or :const:`subprocess.STDOUT`
- constants.
-
- By default a new pipe will be created and connected. When
- :const:`subprocess.STDOUT` is specified, the subprocess' standard
- error stream will be connected to the same pipe as the standard
- output stream.
+ * *stdin* can be any of these:
+
+ * a file-like object representing a pipe to be connected to the
+ subprocess's standard input stream using
+ :meth:`~loop.connect_write_pipe`
+ * the :const:`subprocess.PIPE` constant (default) which will create a new
+ pipe and connect it,
+ * the value ``None`` which will make the subprocess inherit the file
+ descriptor from this process
+ * the :const:`subprocess.DEVNULL` constant which indicates that the
+ special :data:`os.devnull` file will be used
+
+ * *stdout* can be any of these:
+
+ * a file-like object representing a pipe to be connected to the
+ subprocess's standard output stream using
+ :meth:`~loop.connect_write_pipe`
+ * the :const:`subprocess.PIPE` constant (default) which will create a new

* All other keyword arguments are passed to :class:`subprocess.Popen`
- without interpretation, except for *bufsize*, *universal_newlines*
- and *shell*, which should not be specified at all.
