Description
Boost Jam's -p option is not documented and its results do not seem to be consistently defined on both unix (see execunix.c) & Windows (see execnt.c).
It seems this option has something to do with how Boost Jam is supposed to handle standard and error output read from the actions in triggers. It also seems that in some places (output.c & execunix.c) it is expected to be used as a bit flag while in others (execnt.c) it is expected to be used as a tag value.
