<!-- ##### MACRO G_SPAWN_ERROR ##### -->
<para>
Error domain for spawning processes. Errors in this domain will
be from the #GSpawnError enumeration. See #GError for information on
error domains.
</para>



<!-- ##### ENUM GSpawnFlags ##### -->
<para>
Flags passed to g_spawn_sync(), g_spawn_async() and g_spawn_async_with_pipes().
</para>

@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 <literal>SIGCHLD</literal> yourself), or the child will become a zombie.
@G_SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH: <literal>argv[0]</literal> need not be an absolute path, 
  it will be looked for in the user's <envar>PATH</envar>.
@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 
  <filename>/dev/null</filename>).
@G_SPAWN_FILE_AND_ARGV_ZERO: the first element of <literal>argv</literal> 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 
  <literal>argv[0]</literal> as the file to execute, and passes all of 
  <literal>argv</literal> to the child.

<!-- ##### USER_FUNCTION GSpawnChildSetupFunc ##### -->
<para>
Specifies the type of the setup function passed to g_spawn_async(),
g_spawn_sync() and g_spawn_async_with_pipes(). On POSIX platforms it
is called in the child after GLib has performed all the setup it plans
to perform but before calling exec(). On POSIX actions taken in this 
function will thus only affect the child, not the parent.
</para>

<para>
Note that POSIX allows only async-signal-safe functions (see signal(7)) 
to be called in the child between fork() and exec(), which drastically 
limits the usefulness of child setup functions.  
</para>

<para>
Also note that modifying the environment from the child setup function
may not have the intended effect, since it will get overridden by
a non-%NULL @env argument to the <literal>g_spawn...</literal> functions.
</para>

<para>
On Windows the function is called in the parent. Its usefulness on
Windows is thus questionable. In many cases executing the child setup
function in the parent can have ill effects, and you should be very
careful when porting software to Windows that uses child setup
functions.
</para>

@user_data: user data to pass to the function.
