Short Arguments:
-i Replace stdin (default)
-o Replace stdout (default)
-e Replace stderr (default with feature REPLACE_STDERR)
-I No replace stdin
-O No replace stderr
-E No replace stderr (default without feature REPLACE_STDERR)
Examples:
$ sink -ioe cat # sink steam in,out,err
$ sink -iOE cat # sink stream in. keep stream out and err
$ sink -O cat # sink default streams, but keep out
$ sink -E cat # sink default streams and err
Redundant examples:
$ sink -iI cat # sink default streams and in (I comes after the redundant i)
$ sink -Ii cat # sink default streams except in (i comes after the redundant I)

# Argument passing format
Argument parsing can be done with short `-<chars...>` and/or long `--arg[{=, }<value>]` (with or without value, `=` optional.
Short arguments can be chained together: `-abc` is equal to `-a -b -c`. There can be multiple of these: `-ie -O` is equal to `-i -e -O`.
# **TODO** Long arguments
* **TODO** User-set sink file path (e.g `--path /path/to/sink`) which overrides the default `/dev/null`.
# Short Arguments
* `-i` Replace `stdin` (**default**)
* `-o` Replace `stdout` (**default**)
* `-e` Replace `stderr` (*default with feature* `REPLACE_STDERR`)
* `-I` No replace `stdin`
* `-O` No replace `stderr`
* `-E` No replace `stderr` (**default** *without feature* `REPLACE_STDERR`)
# **TODO** Other options
* **TODO** Specific fd passthrough (*probably long arg, could also possibly be short args for std{in,out,err} streams specifically*)
* **TOTO** CLOEXEC control (*short arg*)
* **TOTO** add specific fds / open specific files (optionally also at specific fds) to passthrough (*probably long arg*)
