426 * Executes a child program asynchronously (your program will not
427 * block waiting for the child to exit). The child program is
428 * specified by the only argument that must be provided, @argv. @argv
429 * should be a %NULL-terminated array of strings, to be passed as the
430 * argument vector for the child. The first string in @argv is of
431 * course the name of the program to execute. By default, the name of
432 * the program must be a full path; the <envar>PATH</envar> shell variable
433 * will only be searched if you pass the %G_SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH flag.
435 * @envp is a %NULL-terminated array of strings, where each string
436 * has the form <literal>KEY=VALUE</literal>. This will become
437 * the child's environment. If @envp is %NULL, the child inherits its
438 * parent's environment.
440 * @flags should be the bitwise OR of any flags you want to affect the
441 * function's behavior. On Unix, the %G_SPAWN_DO_NOT_REAP_CHILD means
442 * that the child will not be automatically reaped; you must call
443 * <function>waitpid()</function> or handle %SIGCHLD yourself, or the
444 * child will become a zombie. On Windows, the flag means that a
445 * handle to the child will be returned @child_pid. You must call
446 * <function>CloseHandle()</function> on it eventually (or exit the
447 * process), or the child processs will continue to take up some table
448 * space even after its death. Quite similar to zombies on Unix,
451 * %G_SPAWN_LEAVE_DESCRIPTORS_OPEN means that the parent's open file
452 * descriptors will be inherited by the child; otherwise all
453 * descriptors except stdin/stdout/stderr will be closed before
454 * calling <function>exec()</function> in the child. %G_SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH
455 * means that <literal>argv[0]</literal> need not be an absolute path, it
456 * will be looked for in the user's <envar>PATH</envar>.
457 * %G_SPAWN_STDOUT_TO_DEV_NULL means that the child's standard output will
458 * be discarded, instead of going to the same location as the parent's
459 * standard output. If you use this flag, @standard_output must be %NULL.
460 * %G_SPAWN_STDERR_TO_DEV_NULL means that the child's standard error
461 * will be discarded, instead of going to the same location as the parent's
462 * standard error. If you use this flag, @standard_error must be %NULL.
463 * %G_SPAWN_CHILD_INHERITS_STDIN means that the child will inherit the parent's
464 * standard input (by default, the child's standard input is attached to
465 * /dev/null). If you use this flag, @standard_input must be %NULL.
466 * %G_SPAWN_FILE_AND_ARGV_ZERO means that the first element of @argv is
467 * the file to execute, while the remaining elements are the
468 * actual argument vector to pass to the file. Normally
469 * g_spawn_async_with_pipes() uses @argv[0] as the file to execute, and
470 * passes all of @argv to the child.
472 * @child_setup and @user_data are a function and user data. On POSIX
473 * platforms, the function is called in the child after GLib has
474 * performed all the setup it plans to perform (including creating
475 * pipes, closing file descriptors, etc.) but before calling
476 * <function>exec()</function>. That is, @child_setup is called just
477 * before calling <function>exec()</function> in the child. Obviously
478 * actions taken in this function will only affect the child, not the
479 * parent. On Windows, there is no separate
480 * <function>fork()</function> and <function>exec()</function>
481 * functionality. Child processes are created and run right away with
482 * one API call, <function>CreateProcess()</function>. @child_setup is
483 * called in the parent process just before creating the child
484 * process. You should carefully consider what you do in @child_setup
485 * if you intend your software to be portable to Windows.
487 * If non-%NULL, @child_pid will on Unix be filled with the child's
488 * process ID. You can use the process ID to send signals to the
489 * child, or to <function>waitpid()</function> if you specified the
490 * %G_SPAWN_DO_NOT_REAP_CHILD flag. On Windows, @child_pid will be
491 * filled with a handle to the child process only if you specified the
492 * %G_SPAWN_DO_NOT_REAP_CHILD flag. You can then access the child
493 * process using the Win32 API, for example wait for its termination
494 * with the <function>WaitFor*()</function> functions, or examine its
495 * exit code with <function>GetExitCodeProcess()</function>. You
496 * should close the handle with <function>CloseHandle()</function>
497 * when you no longer need it.
499 * If non-%NULL, the @standard_input, @standard_output, @standard_error
500 * locations will be filled with file descriptors for writing to the child's
501 * standard input or reading from its standard output or standard error.
502 * The caller of g_spawn_async_with_pipes() must close these file descriptors
503 * when they are no longer in use. If these parameters are %NULL, the corresponding
504 * pipe won't be created.
506 * If @standard_input is NULL, the child's standard input is attached to /dev/null
507 * unless %G_SPAWN_CHILD_INHERITS_STDIN is set.
509 * If @standard_error is NULL, the child's standard error goes to the same location
510 * as the parent's standard error unless %G_SPAWN_STDERR_TO_DEV_NULL is set.
512 * If @standard_output is NULL, the child's standard output goes to the same location
513 * as the parent's standard output unless %G_SPAWN_STDOUT_TO_DEV_NULL is set.
515 * @error can be %NULL to ignore errors, or non-%NULL to report errors.
516 * If an error is set, the function returns %FALSE. Errors
517 * are reported even if they occur in the child (for example if the
518 * executable in <literal>argv[0]</literal> is not found). Typically
519 * the <literal>message</literal> field of returned errors should be displayed
520 * to users. Possible errors are those from the #G_SPAWN_ERROR domain.
522 * If an error occurs, @child_pid, @standard_input, @standard_output,
523 * and @standard_error will not be filled with valid values.
