Historically,
-.Nm popen
+.Fn popen
was implemented with a unidirectional pipe;
hence many implementations of
-.Nm popen
+.Fn popen
only allow the
.Fa type
argument to specify reading or writing, not both.
Since
-.Nm popen
+.Fn popen
is now implemented using sockets, the
.Fa type
may request a bidirectional data flow.
