GLib.spawn_command_line_async (original) (raw)
Function
GLibspawn_command_line_async
Declaration [src]
gboolean
g_spawn_command_line_async (
const gchar* command_line,
GError** error
)
Description [src]
A simple version of g_spawn_async() that parses a command line withg_shell_parse_argv() and passes it to g_spawn_async().
Runs a command line in the background. Unlike g_spawn_async(), theG_SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH flag is enabled, other flags are not. Note that G_SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH can have security implications, so consider using g_spawn_async() directly if appropriate. Possible errors are those from g_shell_parse_argv() and g_spawn_async().
The same concerns on Windows apply as for g_spawn_command_line_sync().
Parameters
command_line
Type: const gchar*
A command line.
| The data is owned by the caller of the function. |
|---|
| The value is a platform-native string, using the preferred OS encoding on Unix and UTF-8 on Windows. |
error
Type: GError **
The return location for a recoverable error.
| The argument can be NULL. |
|---|
| If the return location is not NULL, then you must initialize it to a NULL GError*. |
| The argument will be left initialized to NULL by the function if there are no errors. |
| In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated GError; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it. |
Return value
Type: gboolean
TRUE on success, FALSE if error is set.
