With |--headless| this opens stdin and stdout as a |channel|. May be called only once. See |channel-stdio|. stderr is not handled by this function, see |v:stderr|. Close the stdio handles with |chanclose()|. Use |chansend()| to send data to stdout, and |rpcrequest()| and |rpcnotify()| to communicate over RPC. {opts} is a dictionary with these keys: |on_stdin| : callback invoked when stdin is written to. on_print : callback invoked when Nvim needs to print a message, with the message (whose type is string) as sole argument. stdin_buffered : read stdin in |channel-buffered| mode. rpc : If set, |msgpack-rpc| will be used to communicate over stdio Returns:

• |channel-id| on success (value is always 1)
• 0 on invalid arguments
