 * (output redirect to a file) is present in the command.  The error file
 * descriptor variable, if greater than or equal to 0, is where the error
 * stream (ie: stderr) will be sent, also closed on android_logcat_destroy.
 * The error file descriptor can be set to equal to the output file descriptor,
 * which will mix output and error stream content, and will defer closure of
 * the file descriptor on -f flag redirection.  Negative values for the file
