+def check_output(*popenargs, **kwargs):
+    r"""Run command with arguments and return its output as a byte string.
+
+    If the exit code was non-zero it raises a CalledProcessError.  The
+    CalledProcessError object will have the return code in the returncode
+    attribute and output in the output attribute.
+
+    The arguments are the same as for the Popen constructor.  Example:
+
+    >>> check_output(["ls", "-l", "/dev/null"])  #doctest: +ELLIPSIS
+    'crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel    3...
+
+    The stdout argument is not allowed as it is used internally.
+    To capture standard error in the result, use stderr=STDOUT.
+
+    >>> check_output(["/bin/sh", "-c",
+    ...               "ls -l non_existent_file ; exit 0"],
+    ...              stderr=STDOUT)
+    'ls: non_existent_file: No such file or directory\n'
+
+    Calling check_output without the ignore_404 keyword argument
+    will raise a CalledProcessError if wkhtmltopdf exits with a non-zero code

+    CalledProcessError...
+
+    Calling check_output WITH the ignore_404 keyword will not raise
+    the CalledProcessError, but only if the error == ContentNotFoundError
