<%GLibSpawnFlags>

Description

Flags passed to g_spawn_sync(), g_spawn_async() and g_spawn_async_with_pipes().

Members

default

alias G_SPAWN_DEFAULT

no flags, default behaviour

leave-descriptors-open

alias G_SPAWN_LEAVE_DESCRIPTORS_OPEN

the parent's open file descriptors will be inherited by the child; otherwise all descriptors except stdin, stdout and stderr will be closed before calling exec() in the child.

do-not-reap-child

alias 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.

search-path

alias G_SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH

argv[0] need not be an absolute path, it will be looked for in the user's PATH.

stdout-to-dev-null

alias 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.

stderr-to-dev-null

alias G_SPAWN_STDERR_TO_DEV_NULL

the child's standard error will be discarded.

child-inherits-stdin

alias 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).

file-and-argv-zero

alias 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. Normally g_spawn_async_with_pipes() uses argv[0] as the file to execute, and passes all of argv to the child.

search-path-from-envp

alias G_SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH_FROM_ENVP

if argv[0] is not an absolute path, it will be looked for in the PATH from the passed child environment. Since: 2.34

cloexec-pipes

alias G_SPAWN_CLOEXEC_PIPES

create all pipes with the O_CLOEXEC flag set. Since: 2.40
