the priority of the idle source. Typically this will be in the range between #G_PRIORITY_DEFAULT_IDLE and #G_PRIORITY_HIGH_IDLE.
process to watch. On POSIX the positive pid of a child process. On Windows a handle for a process (which doesn't have to be a child).

the ID (greater than 0) of the event source.
2.4
Sets a function to be called when the child indicated by @pid exits, at the priority @priority.
If you obtain @pid from g_spawn_async() or g_spawn_async_with_pipes() you will need to pass #G_SPAWN_DO_NOT_REAP_CHILD as flag to the spawn function for the child watching to work.
In many programs, you will want to call g_spawn_check_exit_status() in the callback to determine whether or not the child exited successfully.
Also, note that on platforms where #GPid must be explicitly closed (see g_spawn_close_pid()) @pid must not be closed while the source is still active. Typically, you should invoke g_spawn_close_pid() in the callback function for the source.
GLib supports only a single callback per process id. On POSIX platforms, the same restrictions mentioned for g_child_watch_source_new() apply to this function.
This internally creates a main loop source using g_child_watch_source_new() and attaches it to the main loop context using g_source_attach(). You can do these steps manually if you need greater control.
