A simple version of g_spawn_sync() with little-used parameters
removed, taking a command line instead of an argument vector. See
g_spawn_sync() for full details. @command_line will be parsed by
g_shell_parse_argv(). Unlike g_spawn_sync(), the %G_SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH flag
is enabled. Note that %G_SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH can have security
implications, so consider using g_spawn_sync() directly if
appropriate. Possible errors are those from g_spawn_sync() and those
from g_shell_parse_argv().
If @exit_status is non-%NULL, the platform-specific exit status of
the child is stored there; see the documentation of
g_spawn_check_exit_status() for how to use and interpret this.
On Windows, please note the implications of g_shell_parse_argv()
parsing @command_line. Parsing is done according to Unix shell rules, not
Windows command interpreter rules.
Space is a separator, and backslashes are
special. Thus you cannot simply pass a @command_line containing
canonical Windows paths, like "c:\\program files\\app\\app.exe", as
the backslashes will be eaten, and the space will act as a
separator. You need to enclose such paths with single quotes, like
"'c:\\program files\\app\\app.exe' 'e:\\folder\\argument.txt'".
