POSIX allows only async-signal-safe functions (see * signal7) * to be called in the child between fork() and exec(), which * drastically limits the usefulness of child setup functions. * * In particular, it is not safe to call any function which may * call malloc(), which includes POSIX functions such as setenv(). * If you need to set up the child environment differently from * the parent, you should use g_get_environ(), g_environ_setenv(), * and g_environ_unsetenv(), and then pass the complete environment * list to the g_spawn... function. */ typedef void (* GSpawnChildSetupFunc) (gpointer user_data); /** * GSpawnFlags: * @G_SPAWN_LEAVE_DESCRIPTORS_OPEN: the parent's 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_DO_NOT_REAP_CHILD: the child will not be automatically reaped; you * must use g_child_watch_add() yourself (or call waitpid() * or handle SIGCHLD yourself), or the child will become a zombie. * @G_SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH: argv[0] need not be an absolute path, * it will be looked for in the user's PATH. * @G_SPAWN_STDOUT_TO_DEV_NULL: the child's standard output will be discarded, * instead of going to the same location as the parent's standard output. * @G_SPAWN_STDERR_TO_DEV_NULL: the child's standard error will be discarded. * @G_SPAWN_CHILD_INHERITS_STDIN: the child will inherit the parent's standard * input (by default, the child's standard input is attached to * /dev/null). * @G_SPAWN_FILE_AND_ARGV_ZERO: the first element of argv is * the file to execute, while the remaining elements are the actual argument * vector to pass to the file.
