         Reworked (again) handles sanitizing as having unstable results under Windows 8.
         Removed `STD_*_HANDLE_DEFAULT_ADDRESS` and all related code (`_rearrange_std_handles`), Windows 8 does not utilize them anymore as was by default in the Windows 7.
         Removed `_resync_crt_std_handles` as having unstable results. Standard handles having too random nature under Windows 8 and, for example, two standard handles can has swapped addresses between 2 processes in inheritance chain (better completely detach CRT standard handles before (re)attach or (re)allocate console).

* fixed: Utilities/src/callf: almost all manual tests pass, except `31-test--01-elevate--02-user_input.bat` (ENABLE_PROCESSED_OUTPUT flag is removed from console mode flags by the system on handle duplication/creation) and `51-test--01-cui--01-print_help.bat` (resync function not completely resyncs Win32 handles into CRT, stderr and stdout can point the same handle)

* new: Utilities/src/callf: The `/?` flag automatically implies `/allow-gui-autoattach-to-parent-console` flag in case of `callfg.exe` implementation to be able to print help. Can call now `callfg.exe /create-console /pause-on-exit /?` to print help.

2021.07.30:
* fixed: Utilities/src/callf:
         Reworked handles sanitizing to correctly reopen handles through the `_freopen` instead of `CreateFile` to finally fix CRT handles desync with the Win32 API descriptor table.
         Now an invalid or broken Win32 handle is closed through the CRT (`fclose` + `_close`) at first before reopen it through the CRT (that is, otherwise the `freopen` won't deallocate the previously allocated handle and instead allocate the new one).
         Removed the `_fileno` function usage in case of update a target CRT standard handle and is replaced by constants (`STDIN_FILENO`/`STDOUT_FILENO`/`STDERR_FILENO`) because of incorrect results while been using it (the same issue, `freopen` does not reuse the previous CRT descriptor, it allocates the new one, so the `_fileno` will point a descriptor greater than `2`).
* refactor: Utilities/src/callf: code refactor

2021.07.29:
* fixed: Utilities/src/callf: reset console mode on reopened handles in case if they are closed (null) upon `callf` utility start (started by `callfg.exe` utility), otherwise line return prints as character(s)

2021.07.29:
* new: Utilities/tests: more manual tests for `callfg` utility

2021.07.28:
* fixed: Utilities/src/callf: missed to close duplicated handle after check on registration in the CRT descriptor table even if it is registered (in that case the CRT owns it and responsible to close it)
* fixed: Utilities/src/callf: missed to sanitize standrad handles in case if they are closed (null) upon `callf` utility start (started by `callfg.exe` utility)
* fixed: Utilities/src/callf: close stdout handle only if it is not a character device handle, otherwise another process in process inheritance tree may lose the handle buffer to continue interact with it
* fixed: Utilities/src/callf: call `DisconnectNamedPipe` only if opened as named pipe

2021.07.28:
* new: Utilities/tests: added manual tests to test start of `callf.exe` by `callfg.exe` utility

2021.07.27:

* new: Utilities/bin/contools: binaries update

2021.07.21:
* fixed: Utilities/src/callf: missed to check a handle on registered state in the CRT (`_set_crt_std_handle` function), otherwise the CRT `_dup` function would attempt to close the handle before it's duplication (random invalid handle errors)
* fixed: Utilities/src/callf: missed to check `ConnectNamedPipe` on `ERROR_PIPE_CONNECTED` error which means connection is accomplished before the function call
* fixed: Utilities/src/callf: all tests pass

* fixed: Utilities/src/callf: missed standard handles reread after change
* changed: Utilities: todo update

2021.07.14:
* fixed: Utilities/src/callf: Better standard handles sanitizing after process elevation (sometimes `GetFileType` returns `FILE_TYPE_UNKNOWN` on either stdout or stderr, have to correctly reopen them from `CONIN$` and `CONOUT$` pseudo files).
* fixed: Utilities/src/callf: Application abort after `std::runtime_error` exception in the `std::locale(".65001")` call (C++11 standard does not support unicode code page locale). Fixed by switching from absolute file path compare (`GetFullPathName` + `tolower`) to opened file handles compare (`GetFileInformationByHandle` + `GetFileInformationByHandleEx`)
* fixed: Utilities/src/callf: Error message `could not set std* handle information: ...`. A default standard handle can not be changed for inheritance, we can change for inheritance only reopened standard handles.
* fixed: Utilities/src/callf: missed to pass internal "no inherit" flag to `CreateProcess` function
* changed: Utilities/src/callf: Rewrote the check of the same file usage. Instead of use the absolute file path compare (`GetFullPathName` + `tolower`), do use the opened file handles compare (`GetFileInformationByHandle`/`GetFileInformationByHandleEx`). As an addition, file hard links now compares correctly.

2021.07.06:
* fixed: Utilities/src/callf: missed to close all anonymous or client named pipe handles prepared for a child process if them is not inheritable or a child process is not executed (parent process waiting for read from an anonymous pipe when a child process is already exited)
* fixed: Utilities/src/callf: missed to disconnect server named pipe before wait a thread with servere named pipe connect (process hangs on elevation dialog cancel)
* fixed: Utilities/src/callf: avoid start of any pipe stream thread if a child process is not executed (excluding idle execution)
* fixed: Utilities/src/callf: cancel all named pipe connection threads before read pipe stream threads errors
* fixed: Utilities/src/callf: `error: (null)` error message after elevation dialog cancel (incomplete or incorrect code around `_vsnwprintf`, `vsnwprintf`, `_snwprintf`, `_snprintf` functions)
* new: Utilities/src/callf: more example in the help

* changed: Utilities/src/callf: Changed behaviour for the `/create-[in|out]bound-*` options, now them only create server part of a named pipe end instead of both. All `/create-[in|out]bound-pipe-*` options renamed into `/create-[in|out]bound-server-pipe-*`.
* refactor: Utilities/src/callf: code refactor

2021.07.04:

* new: Utilities/src/callf: `/tee-std[in|out|err]-as-[server|client]-pipe <pipe>`, `/tee-std[in|out|err]-pipe-flush` options to duplicate output to stdin/stdout/stderr into a named pipe
* new: Utilities/src/callf: `/create-inbound-pipe-to-std[out|err] <pipe>`, `/create-outbound-pipe-from-stdin <pipe>` options to create a named pipe instead of anonymous pipe to read/write from/to child process stdin/stdout/stderr.
* new: Utilities/src/callf: `/tee-std[in|out|err]-flush` flag to flush both a tee file and a tee named pipe
* new: Utilities/src/callf: Use `.` string as `ApplicationNameFormatString` in a command line to avoid child process creation (idle execution). Useful to test a server named pipe connection await or just redirect output from an inbound named pipe to the console window.
* new: Utilities/src/callf: `/no-std-inherit` flag to prevent standard handles inheritance into child process
* new: Utilities/src/callf: `/pipe-stdin-to-stdout` flag to explicitly pipe stdin to stdout (applies the `/no-std-inherit` flag)

2021.06.23:
* fixed: Utilities/src/callf: use `STDIN_FILENO`/`STDOUT_FILENO`/`STDERR_FILENO` instead of `_fileno(stdin)`/`_fileno(stdout)`/`_fileno(stderr)` in call to `_dup2`, otherwise sequenced call to `_close` would close input parameter handle w/o a duplication
* fixed: Utilities/src/callf: missed stdout flush (and disconnection if a server named pipe end) before close

2021.06.20:
* changed: readme update

2021.06.16:
* changed: Utilities/src/callf: now only the main thread prints info/errors to stdout/stderr, all worker threads only postpone info/errors to the main thread (excluding traffic between stdin and stdout/stderr)

2021.06.11:
* new: Utilities/src/callf: Now by default if the process console window is not owned and the process is going to close by an error before execute a child process, then the output does duplicate into a parent process console. To disable that behaviour the `/disable-conout-duplicate-to-parent-console-on-error` flag is added.

2021.06.10:
* fixed: Utilities/src/callf: minor fixup

* refactor: Utilities/src/callf: code refactor

2021.05.31:
* fixed: Utilities/src/callf: missed to check the parent console window handle on equality with the current process console window handle to detect console window inheritance from the parent process
* new: Utilities/src/callf: `/create-console-title`, `/own-console-title` options to change console title
* changed: Utilities/src/callf: `/detach-console` flag is replaced by `/create-console` flag because a console detachment creates a standalone instance of console window, `/create-console` flag now has priority over the `/attach-parent-console` flag
* changed: Utilities/src/callf: `/use-parent-console` flag is removed, `/create-child-console` is used as an opposite replacement
* changed: Utilities/src/callf: `/create-console` and `/attach-parent-console` flags now always applies at very beginning of the application start, before parse of all other flags and output to the stdout or stderr
* refactor: Utilities/src/callf: code refactor

2021.05.30:
* fixed: Utilities/src/callf: missed `tee-std[in|out|err]-dup <fileno>` option check on not opened `<fileno>`

* new: Utilities/src/callf: `/output-flush`, `/inout-flush`, `/tee-std[in|out|err]-file-flush`, `/tee-output-flush`, `/tee-inout-flush` flags for more addressed flush
* changed: Utilities/src/callf: All std and tee files now opens by default with the append instead of the overwrite option, all `*-append` flags replaced by `*-truncate`. This will avoid an excessive usage of append option and accidental overwrite a log file in nested callf.exe calls.

2021.05.30:
* new: Utilities/bin/contools: binaries update

2021.05.30:

* fixed: Utilities/src/callf: `/showas 0` accident ignore
* fixed: Utilities/src/callf: lock on stdin pipe read while the output handle is closed or broken (pipe)
