19 * @title: GSubprocess Launcher
20 * @short_description: Environment options for launching a child process
21 * @include: gio/gio.h
23 * This class contains a set of options for launching child processes,
24 * such as where its standard input and output will be directed, the
25 * argument list, the environment, and more.
27 * While the #GSubprocess class has high level functions covering
28 * popular cases, use of this class allows access to more advanced
29 * options. It can also be used to launch multiple subprocesses with
30 * a similar configuration.
32 * Since: 2.40
