 Replying to [comment:2 lutter]:

 It isn't the input, it's the output to an fd from Augeas.

 int aug_srun(augeas *aug, FILE *out, const char *text);

 So aug_srun does take a string, *text, for the commands but sends the
 results back to *out.  The only way I could see of handling it in Ruby
 itself was to use a temp file and pass the fd through.

 Having thought about it again, we could just use something similar to
 Augeas's __aug_init_memstream internal functions to make a string
 available to Ruby callers with the results.
