flags from #VtePtyFlags
the name of a directory the command should start in, or %NULL to use the current working directory
child's argument vector
a list of environment variables to be added to the environment before starting the process, or %NULL
flags from #GSpawnFlags
an extra child setup function to run in the child just before exec(), or %NULL
user data for @child_setup
a location to store the child PID, or %NULL
a #GCancellable, or %NULL
%TRUE on success, or %FALSE on error with @error filled in
Deprecated: Use vte_terminal_spawn_async() instead.
GException on failure.
Starts the specified command under a newly-allocated controlling pseudo-terminal. The @argv and @envv lists should be %NULL-terminated. The "TERM" environment variable is automatically set to a default value, but can be overridden from @envv. @pty_flags controls logging the session to the specified system log files.
Note that %G_SPAWN_DO_NOT_REAP_CHILD will always be added to @spawn_flags.
Note that all open file descriptors will be closed in the child. If you want to keep some file descriptor open for use in the child process, you need to use a child setup function that unsets the FD_CLOEXEC flag on that file descriptor.
See vte_pty_new(), g_spawn_async() and vte_terminal_watch_child() for more information.
Beginning with 0.52, sets PWD to @working_directory in order to preserve symlink components. The caller should also make sure that symlinks were preserved while constructing the value of @working_directory, e.g. by using vte_terminal_get_current_directory_uri(), g_get_current_dir() or get_current_dir_name().
