/** 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, @a argv.
 * The first string in @a argv is of
 * course the name of the program to execute. By default, the name of
 * the program must be a full path; the PATH shell variable
 * will only be searched if you pass the SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH flag.
 *
 * On Windows, note that all the string or string vector arguments to
 * this function and the other 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 will have to call the
 * undocumented function __wgetmainargs() to get the wide character
 * argument vector and environment. See gspawn-win32-helper.c in the
 * GLib sources or init.c in the mingw runtime sources for a prototype
 * for that function. Alternatively, you can retrieve the Win32 system
 * level wide character command line passed to the spawned program
 * using the GetCommandLineW() function.
 *
 * 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
 * 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,
 * spawn_async_with_pipes() will do quoting and escaping on argument
 * vector elements that need it before calling the C runtime
 * spawn() function.
 *
 * @a envp is a lists of strings, where each string
 * has the form KEY=VALUE. This will become
 * the child's environment.
 *
 * @a flags should be the bitwise OR of any flags you want to affect the
 * function's behaviour. The SPAWN_DO_NOT_REAP_CHILD flags means that
 * the child will not automatically be reaped; you must use a
 * ChildWatch source to be notified about the death of the child
 * process. Eventually you must call spawn_close_pid() on the
 * @a child_pid, in order to free resources which may be associated
 * with the child process. (On Unix, using a ChildWatch source is
 * equivalent to calling waitpid() or handling the SIGCHLD signal
 * manually. On Windows, calling spawn_close_pid() is equivalent
 * to calling CloseHandle() on the process handle returned in
 * @a child_pid).
 *
 * PAWN_LEAVE_DESCRIPTORS_OPEN means that 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. SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH
 * means that argv[0] need not be an absolute path, it
 * will be looked for in the user's PATH.
 * 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, @a standard_output must be NULL.
 * 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, @a standard_error must be NULL.
 * 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, @a standard_input must be NULL.
 * G_SPAWN_FILE_AND_ARGV_ZERO means that the first element of @a argv is
 * the file to execute, while the remaining elements are the
 * actual argument vector to pass to the file. Normally
 * spawn_async_with_pipes() uses argv[0] as the file to execute, and
 * passes all of @a argv to the child.
 *
 * @a child_setup is a callback slot. 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, @a 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(). @a child_setup is
 * called in the parent process just before creating the child
 * process. You should carefully consider what you do in @a child_setup
 * if you intend your software to be portable to Windows.
 *
 * If non-NULL, @a 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 child_watch_add() (or waitpid()) if you specified the
 * SPAWN_DO_NOT_REAP_CHILD flag. On Windows, @a child_pid will be
 * filled with a handle to the child process only if you specified the
 * 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 spawn_close_pid() when you no longer need it.
 *
 * If non-NULL, the @a standard_input, @a standard_output, @a 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 pawn_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 @a standard_input is NULL, the child's standard input is attached to
 * /dev/null unless SPAWN_CHILD_INHERITS_STDIN is set.
 *
 * If @a standard_error is NULL, the child's standard error goes to the same
 * location as the parent's standard error unless SPAWN_STDERR_TO_DEV_NULL
 * is set.
 *
 * If @a standard_output is NULL, the child's standard output goes to the same
 * location as the parent's standard output unless SPAWN_STDOUT_TO_DEV_NULL
 * is set.
 *
 * If @a child_pid is not NULL and an error does not occur then the returned
 * pid must be closed using spawn_close_pid().
 *
 * @note
 * If you are writing a gtkmm application, and the program you
 * are spawning is a graphical application, too, then you may
 * want to use spawn_on_screen_with_pipes() instead to ensure that
 * the spawned program opens its windows on the right screen.
 *
 * @param working_directory Child's current working directory, or an empty string to inherit the parent's, in the GLib file name encoding.
 * @param argv Child's argument vector.
 * @param envp Child's environment.

 * @param child_setup Slot to run in the child just before exec().
