/**
 * SECTION:spawn
 * @Short_description: process launching
 * @Title: Spawning Processes
 *
 * GLib supports spawning of processes with an API that is more
 * convenient than the bare UNIX fork() and exec().
 *
 * The g_spawn family of functions has synchronous (g_spawn_sync())
 * and asynchronous variants (g_spawn_async(), g_spawn_async_with_pipes()),
 * as well as convenience variants that take a complete shell-like
 * commandline (g_spawn_command_line_sync(), g_spawn_command_line_async()).
 *
 * See #GSubprocess in GIO for a higher-level API that provides
 * stream interfaces for communication with child processes.
 *
 * An example of using g_spawn_async_with_pipes():
 * |[<!-- language="C" -->
 * const gchar * const argv[] = { "my-favourite-program", "--args", NULL };
 * gint child_stdout, child_stderr;
 * GPid child_pid;
 * g_autoptr(GError) error = NULL;
 *
 * // Spawn child process.
 * g_spawn_async_with_pipes (NULL, argv, NULL, G_SPAWN_DO_NOT_REAP_CHILD, NULL,
 *                           NULL, &child_pid, NULL, &child_stdout,
 *                           &child_stderr, &error);
 * if (error != NULL)
 *   {
 *     g_error ("Spawning child failed: %s", error->message);
 *     return;
 *   }
 *
 * // Add a child watch function which will be called when the child process
 * // exits.
 * g_child_watch_add (child_pid, child_watch_cb, NULL);
 *
 * // You could watch for output on @child_stdout and @child_stderr using
 * // #GUnixInputStream or #GIOChannel here.
 *
 * static void
 * child_watch_cb (GPid     pid,
 *                 gint     status,
 *                 gpointer user_data)
 * {
 *   g_message ("Child %" G_PID_FORMAT " exited %s", pid,
 *              g_spawn_check_exit_status (status, NULL) ? "normally" : "abnormally");
 *
 *   // Free any resources associated with the child here, such as I/O channels
 *   // on its stdout and stderr FDs. If you have no code to put in the
 *   // child_watch_cb() callback, you can remove it and the g_child_watch_add()
 *   // call, but you must also remove the G_SPAWN_DO_NOT_REAP_CHILD flag,
 *   // otherwise the child process will stay around as a zombie until this
 *   // process exits.
 *
 *   g_spawn_close_pid (pid);
 * }

 *
 * 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 of 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_STDOUT_TO_DEV_NULL means that the child's standard output
 * will be discarded, instead of going to the same location as the parent's 
 * standard output. If you use this flag, @standard_output must be %NULL.
 * %G_SPAWN_STDERR_TO_DEV_NULL means that the child's standard error
 * will be discarded, instead of going to the same location as the parent's
 * standard error. If you use this flag, @standard_error must be %NULL.
 * %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`). If you use this flag, @standard_input must be %NULL.
 * %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 @standard_input, @standard_output, @standard_error
 * 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 @standard_input is %NULL, the child's standard input is attached to
 * `/dev/null` unless %G_SPAWN_CHILD_INHERITS_STDIN is set.
 *
 * If @standard_error 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 @standard_output 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, @standard_input, @standard_output,
 * and @standard_error 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_shell_parse_argv(). Unlike g_spawn_sync(), the %G_SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH flag
 * is enabled. Note that %G_SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH can have security

 * If @exit_status is non-%NULL, the platform-specific exit status of
 * the child is stored there; see the documentation of
 * g_spawn_check_exit_status() for how to use and interpret this.
 * 
 * On Windows, please note the implications of g_shell_parse_argv()
 * parsing @command_line. Parsing is done according to Unix shell rules, not 
 * Windows command interpreter rules.
 * Space is a separator, and backslashes are
 * special. Thus you cannot simply pass a @command_line containing
 * canonical Windows paths, like "c:\\program files\\app\\app.exe", as
 * the backslashes will be eaten, and the space will act as a
 * separator. You need to enclose such paths with single quotes, like
 * "'c:\\program files\\app\\app.exe' 'e:\\folder\\argument.txt'".
 *
 * Returns: %TRUE on success, %FALSE if an error was set

/**
 * g_spawn_check_exit_status:
 * @exit_status: An exit code as returned from g_spawn_sync()
 * @error: a #GError
 *
 * Set @error if @exit_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 an
 * exit status for 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
 * @exit_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 exit 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
 * @exit_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, 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 @exit_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.
 *
 * Returns: %TRUE if child exited successfully, %FALSE otherwise (and
 *     @error will be set)
 *
 * Since: 2.34
