.. currentmodule:: gi.repository.GLib





.. class:: SpawnFlags
   :no-contents-entry:






Flags passed to :func:`~gi.repository.GLib.spawn_sync`, :func:`~gi.repository.GLib.spawn_async` and :func:`~gi.repository.GLib.spawn_async_with_pipes`.













Fields
------

.. rst-class:: interim-class

.. class:: SpawnFlags
   :no-index:
   

   .. attribute:: CHILD_INHERITS_STDERR

      The child will inherit the parent's standard error.



      .. versionadded:: 2.74





   .. attribute:: CHILD_INHERITS_STDIN

      The child will inherit the parent's standard
      input (by default, the child's standard input is attached to ``/dev/null``).







   .. attribute:: CHILD_INHERITS_STDOUT

      The child will inherit the parent's standard output.



      .. versionadded:: 2.74





   .. attribute:: CLOEXEC_PIPES

      Create all pipes with the ``O_CLOEXEC`` flag set.
      Since: 2.40







   .. attribute:: DEFAULT

      No flags, default behaviour







   .. attribute:: DO_NOT_REAP_CHILD

      The child will not be automatically reaped;
      you must use :func:`~gi.repository.GLib.child_watch_add` yourself (or call waitpid() or handle
      ``SIGCHLD`` yourself), or the child will become a zombie.







   .. attribute:: 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 :func:`~gi.repository.GLib.spawn_async_with_pipes` uses ``argv[0]``
      as the file to execute, and passes all of ``argv`` to the child.







   .. attribute:: LEAVE_DESCRIPTORS_OPEN

      The parent's open file descriptors will
      be inherited by the child; otherwise all descriptors except stdin,
      stdout and stderr will be closed before calling exec() in the child.







   .. attribute:: SEARCH_PATH

      ``argv[0]`` need not be an absolute path, it will be
      looked for in the user's ``PATH``.







   .. attribute:: SEARCH_PATH_FROM_ENVP

      If ``argv[0]`` is not an absolute path,
      it will be looked for in the ``PATH`` from the passed child environment.
      Since: 2.34







   .. attribute:: STDERR_TO_DEV_NULL

      The child's standard error will be discarded.







   .. attribute:: STDIN_FROM_DEV_NULL

      The child's standard input is attached to ``/dev/null``.



      .. versionadded:: 2.74





   .. attribute:: 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.
