* GSpawnChildSetupFunc:
* @user_data: (closure): user data to pass to the function.
*
* Specifies the type of the setup function passed to g_spawn_async(),
* g_spawn_sync() and g_spawn_async_with_pipes(), which can, in very
* limited ways, be used to affect the child's execution.
*
* On POSIX platforms, the function is called in the child after GLib
* has performed all the setup it plans to perform, but before calling
* exec(). Actions taken in this function will only affect the child,
* not the parent.
*
* On Windows, the function is called in the parent. Its usefulness on
* Windows is thus questionable. In many cases executing the child setup
* function in the parent can have ill effects, and you should be very
* careful when porting software to Windows that uses child setup
* functions.
*
* However, even on POSIX, you are extremely limited in what you can
* safely do from a #GSpawnChildSetupFunc, because any mutexes that were
* held by other threads in the parent process at the time of the fork()
* will still be locked in the child process, and they will never be
* unlocked (since the threads that held them don't exist in the child).
* POSIX allows only async-signal-safe functions (see signal(7)) to be
* called in the child between fork() and exec(), which drastically limits
* the usefulness of child setup functions.
*
* In particular, it is not safe to call any function which may
* call malloc(), which includes POSIX functions such as setenv().
* If you need to set up the child environment differently from
* the parent, you should use g_get_environ(), g_environ_setenv(),
* and g_environ_unsetenv(), and then pass the complete environment
* list to the `g_spawn...` function.

* @G_SPAWN_LEAVE_DESCRIPTORS_OPEN: the parent's open file descriptors will

* stdout and stderr will be closed before calling exec() in the child.
* @G_SPAWN_DO_NOT_REAP_CHILD: the child will not be automatically reaped;
* you must use g_child_watch_add() yourself (or call waitpid() or handle
* `SIGCHLD` yourself), or the child will become a zombie.
* @G_SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH: `argv[0]` need not be an absolute path, it will be
* looked for in the user's `PATH`.
* @G_SPAWN_STDOUT_TO_DEV_NULL: the child's standard output will be discarded,
* instead of going to the same location as the parent's standard output.
* @G_SPAWN_STDERR_TO_DEV_NULL: the child's standard error will be discarded.
* @G_SPAWN_CHILD_INHERITS_STDIN: the child will inherit the parent's standard
* input (by default, the child's standard input is attached to `/dev/null`).
* @G_SPAWN_FILE_AND_ARGV_ZERO: the first element of `argv` is the file to
* execute, while the remaining elements are the actual argument vector
* to pass to the file. Normally g_spawn_async_with_pipes() uses `argv[0]`
* as the file to execute, and passes all of `argv` to the child.

* it will be looked for in the `PATH` from the passed child environment.

* @G_SPAWN_CLOEXEC_PIPES: create all pipes with the `O_CLOEXEC` flag set.
