 *
 * Executes a child program asynchronously (your program will not
 * block waiting for the child to exit).
 *
 * The child program is specified by the only argument that must be
 * provided, @argv. @argv should be a %NULL-terminated array of strings,
 * to be passed as the argument vector for the child. The first string
 * in @argv is of course the name of the program to execute. By default,
 * the name of the program must be a full path. If @flags contains the
 * %G_SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH flag, the `PATH` environment variable is used to
 * search for the executable. If @flags contains the
 * %G_SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH_FROM_ENVP flag, the `PATH` variable from @envp
 * is used to search for the executable. If both the
 * %G_SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH and %G_SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH_FROM_ENVP flags are
 * set, the `PATH` variable from @envp takes precedence over the
 * environment variable.
 *
 * If the program name is not a full path and %G_SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH flag
 * is not used, then the program will be run from the current directory
 * (or @working_directory, if specified); this might be unexpected or even
 * dangerous in some cases when the current directory is world-writable.
 *
 * On Windows, note that all the string or string vector arguments to
 * this function and the other `g_spawn*()` functions are in UTF-8, the
 * GLib file name encoding. Unicode characters that are not part of
 * the system codepage passed in these arguments will be correctly
 * available in the spawned program only if it uses wide character API
 * to retrieve its command line. For C programs built with Microsoft's
 * tools it is enough to make the program have a `wmain()` instead of
 * `main()`. `wmain()` has a wide character argument vector as parameter.
 *
 * At least currently, mingw doesn't support `wmain()`, so if you use
 * mingw to develop the spawned program, it should call
 * g_win32_get_command_line() to get arguments in UTF-8.
 *
 * On Windows the low-level child process creation API `CreateProcess()`
 * doesn't use argument vectors, but a command line. The C runtime
 * library's `spawn*()` family of functions (which g_spawn_async_with_pipes()
 * eventually calls) paste the argument vector elements together into
 * a command line, and the C runtime startup code does a corresponding
 * reconstruction of an argument vector from the command line, to be
 * passed to `main()`. Complications arise when you have argument vector
 * elements that contain spaces or double quotes. The `spawn*()` functions
 * don't do any quoting or escaping, but on the other hand the startup
 * code does do unquoting and unescaping in order to enable receiving
 * arguments with embedded spaces or double quotes. To work around this
 * asymmetry, g_spawn_async_with_pipes() will do quoting and escaping on
 * argument vector elements that need it before calling the C runtime
 * `spawn()` function.
 *
 * The returned @child_pid on Windows is a handle to the child
 * process, not its identifier. Process handles and process
 * identifiers are different concepts on Windows.
 *
 * @envp is a %NULL-terminated array of strings, where each string
 * has the form `KEY=VALUE`. This will become the child's environment.
 * If @envp is %NULL, the child inherits its parent's environment.
 *
 * @flags should be the bitwise OR of any flags you want to affect the
 * function's behaviour. The %G_SPAWN_DO_NOT_REAP_CHILD means that the
 * child will not automatically be reaped; you must use a child watch
 * (g_child_watch_add()) to be notified about the death of the child process,
 * otherwise it will stay around as a zombie process until this process exits.
 * Eventually you must call g_spawn_close_pid() on the @child_pid, in order to
 * free resources which may be associated with the child process. (On Unix,
 * using a child watch is equivalent to calling waitpid() or handling
 * the `SIGCHLD` signal manually. On Windows, calling g_spawn_close_pid()
 * is equivalent to calling `CloseHandle()` on the process handle returned
 * in @child_pid). See g_child_watch_add().
 *
 * Open UNIX file descriptors marked as `FD_CLOEXEC` will be automatically
 * closed in the child process. %G_SPAWN_LEAVE_DESCRIPTORS_OPEN means that
 * other open file descriptors will be inherited by the child; otherwise all
 * descriptors except stdin/stdout/stderr will be closed before calling `exec()`
 * in the child. %G_SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH means that @argv[0] need not be an
 * absolute path, it will be looked for in the `PATH` environment
 * variable. %G_SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH_FROM_ENVP means need not be an
 * absolute path, it will be looked for in the `PATH` variable from
 * @envp. If both %G_SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH and %G_SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH_FROM_ENVP
 * are used, the value from @envp takes precedence over the environment.
 *
 * %G_SPAWN_CHILD_INHERITS_STDIN means that the child will inherit the parent's
 * standard input (by default, the child's standard input is attached to
 * `/dev/null`). %G_SPAWN_STDIN_FROM_DEV_NULL explicitly imposes the default
 * behavior. Both flags cannot be enabled at the same time and, in both cases,
 * the @stdin_pipe_out argument is ignored.
 *
 * %G_SPAWN_STDOUT_TO_DEV_NULL means that the child's standard output
 * will be discarded (by default, it goes to the same location as the parent's
 * standard output). %G_SPAWN_CHILD_INHERITS_STDOUT explicitly imposes the
 * default behavior. Both flags cannot be enabled at the same time and, in
 * both cases, the @stdout_pipe_out argument is ignored.
 *
 * %G_SPAWN_STDERR_TO_DEV_NULL means that the child's standard error
 * will be discarded (by default, it goes to the same location as the parent's
 * standard error). %G_SPAWN_CHILD_INHERITS_STDERR explicitly imposes the
 * default behavior. Both flags cannot be enabled at the same time and, in
 * both cases, the @stderr_pipe_out argument is ignored.
 *
 * It is valid to pass the same FD in multiple parameters (e.g. you can pass
 * a single FD for both @stdout_fd and @stderr_fd, and include it in
 * @source_fds too).
 *
 * @source_fds and @target_fds allow zero or more FDs from this process to be
 * remapped to different FDs in the spawned process. If @n_fds is greater than
 * zero, @source_fds and @target_fds must both be non-%NULL and the same length.
 * Each FD in @source_fds is remapped to the FD number at the same index in
 * @target_fds. The source and target FD may be equal to simply propagate an FD
 * to the spawned process. FD remappings are processed after standard FDs, so
 * any target FDs which equal @stdin_fd, @stdout_fd or @stderr_fd will overwrite
 * them in the spawned process.
 *
 * @source_fds is supported on Windows since 2.72.
 *
 * %G_SPAWN_FILE_AND_ARGV_ZERO means that the first element of @argv is
 * the file to execute, while the remaining elements are the actual
 * argument vector to pass to the file. Normally g_spawn_async_with_pipes()
 * uses @argv[0] as the file to execute, and passes all of @argv to the child.
 *
 * @child_setup and @user_data are a function and user data. On POSIX
 * platforms, the function is called in the child after GLib has
 * performed all the setup it plans to perform (including creating
 * pipes, closing file descriptors, etc.) but before calling `exec()`.
 * That is, @child_setup is called just before calling `exec()` in the
 * child. Obviously actions taken in this function will only affect
 * the child, not the parent.
 *
 * On Windows, there is no separate `fork()` and `exec()` functionality.
 * Child processes are created and run with a single API call,
 * `CreateProcess()`. There is no sensible thing @child_setup
 * could be used for on Windows so it is ignored and not called.
 *
 * If non-%NULL, @child_pid will on Unix be filled with the child's
 * process ID. You can use the process ID to send signals to the child,
 * or to use g_child_watch_add() (or `waitpid()`) if you specified the
 * %G_SPAWN_DO_NOT_REAP_CHILD flag. On Windows, @child_pid will be
 * filled with a handle to the child process only if you specified the
 * %G_SPAWN_DO_NOT_REAP_CHILD flag. You can then access the child
 * process using the Win32 API, for example wait for its termination
 * with the `WaitFor*()` functions, or examine its exit code with
 * `GetExitCodeProcess()`. You should close the handle with `CloseHandle()`
 * or g_spawn_close_pid() when you no longer need it.
 *
 * If non-%NULL, the @stdin_pipe_out, @stdout_pipe_out, @stderr_pipe_out
 * locations will be filled with file descriptors for writing to the child's
 * standard input or reading from its standard output or standard error.
 * The caller of g_spawn_async_with_pipes() must close these file descriptors
 * when they are no longer in use. If these parameters are %NULL, the
 * corresponding pipe won't be created.
 *
 * If @stdin_pipe_out is %NULL, the child's standard input is attached to
 * `/dev/null` unless %G_SPAWN_CHILD_INHERITS_STDIN is set.
 *
 * If @stderr_pipe_out is NULL, the child's standard error goes to the same
 * location as the parent's standard error unless %G_SPAWN_STDERR_TO_DEV_NULL
 * is set.
 *
 * If @stdout_pipe_out is NULL, the child's standard output goes to the same
 * location as the parent's standard output unless %G_SPAWN_STDOUT_TO_DEV_NULL
 * is set.
 *
 * @error can be %NULL to ignore errors, or non-%NULL to report errors.
 * If an error is set, the function returns %FALSE. Errors are reported
 * even if they occur in the child (for example if the executable in
 * `@argv[0]` is not found). Typically the `message` field of returned
 * errors should be displayed to users. Possible errors are those from
 * the %G_SPAWN_ERROR domain.
 *
 * If an error occurs, @child_pid, @stdin_pipe_out, @stdout_pipe_out,
 * and @stderr_pipe_out will not be filled with valid values.
 *
 * If @child_pid is not %NULL and an error does not occur then the returned
 * process reference must be closed using g_spawn_close_pid().
 *
 * On modern UNIX platforms, GLib can use an efficient process launching
 * codepath driven internally by `posix_spawn()`. This has the advantage of
 * avoiding the fork-time performance costs of cloning the parent process
 * address space, and avoiding associated memory overcommit checks that are
 * not relevant in the context of immediately executing a distinct process.
 * This optimized codepath will be used provided that the following conditions
 * are met:
 *
 * 1. %G_SPAWN_DO_NOT_REAP_CHILD is set
 * 2. %G_SPAWN_LEAVE_DESCRIPTORS_OPEN is set
 * 3. %G_SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH_FROM_ENVP is not set
 * 4. @working_directory is %NULL
 * 5. @child_setup is %NULL
 * 6. The program is of a recognised binary format, or has a shebang.
 *    Otherwise, GLib will have to execute the program through the
 *    shell, which is not done using the optimized codepath.
 *
 * If you are writing a GTK application, and the program you are spawning is a
 * graphical application too, then to ensure that the spawned program opens its
 * windows on the right screen, you may want to use #GdkAppLaunchContext,
 * #GAppLaunchContext, or set the `DISPLAY` environment variable.
 *
 * Returns: %TRUE on success, %FALSE if an error was set
 *

/**
 * g_spawn_check_wait_status:
 * @wait_status: A platform-specific wait status as returned from g_spawn_sync()
 * @error: a #GError
 *
 * Set @error if @wait_status indicates the child exited abnormally
 * (e.g. with a nonzero exit code, or via a fatal signal).
 *
 * The g_spawn_sync() and g_child_watch_add() family of APIs return the
 * status of subprocesses encoded in a platform-specific way.
 * On Unix, this is guaranteed to be in the same format waitpid() returns,
 * and on Windows it is guaranteed to be the result of GetExitCodeProcess().
 *
 * Prior to the introduction of this function in GLib 2.34, interpreting
 * @wait_status required use of platform-specific APIs, which is problematic
 * for software using GLib as a cross-platform layer.
 *
 * Additionally, many programs simply want to determine whether or not
 * the child exited successfully, and either propagate a #GError or
 * print a message to standard error. In that common case, this function
 * can be used. Note that the error message in @error will contain
 * human-readable information about the wait status.
 *
 * The @domain and @code of @error have special semantics in the case
 * where the process has an "exit code", as opposed to being killed by
 * a signal. On Unix, this happens if WIFEXITED() would be true of
 * @wait_status. On Windows, it is always the case.
 *
 * The special semantics are that the actual exit code will be the
 * code set in @error, and the domain will be %G_SPAWN_EXIT_ERROR.
 * This allows you to differentiate between different exit codes.
 *
 * If the process was terminated by some means other than an exit
 * status (for example if it was killed by a signal), the domain will be
 * %G_SPAWN_ERROR and the code will be %G_SPAWN_ERROR_FAILED.
 *
 * This function just offers convenience; you can of course also check
 * the available platform via a macro such as %G_OS_UNIX, and use
 * WIFEXITED() and WEXITSTATUS() on @wait_status directly. Do not attempt
 * to scan or parse the error message string; it may be translated and/or
 * change in future versions of GLib.
 *
 * Prior to version 2.70, g_spawn_check_exit_status() provides the same
 * functionality, although under a misleading name.
 *
 * Returns: %TRUE if child exited successfully, %FALSE otherwise (and
 *   @error will be set)
