 * @standard_error: return location for file descriptor to read child's stderr, or NULL
 * @error: return location for error
 *
 * Executes a child program asynchronously (your program will not
 * block waiting for the child to exit). The child program is
 * specified by the only argument that must be provided, @argv. @argv
 * should be a NULL-terminated array of strings, to be passed as the
 * argument vector for the child. The first string in @argv is of
 * course the name of the program to execute. By default, the name of
 * the program must be a full path; the PATH shell variable will only
 * be searched if you pass the %G_SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH flag.
 *
 * @envp is a NULL-terminated array of strings, where each string
 * has the form <literal>KEY=VALUE</literal>. This will become
 * the child's environment. If @envp is NULL, the child inherits its
 * parent's environment.
 *
 * @flags should be the bitwise OR of any flags you want to affect the
 * function's behavior. The %G_SPAWN_DO_NOT_REAP_CHILD means that the
 * child will not be automatically reaped; you must call waitpid() or
 * handle SIGCHLD yourself, or the child will become a zombie.
 * %G_SPAWN_LEAVE_DESCRIPTORS_OPEN means that the parent's open file
 * descriptors will be inherited by the child; otherwise all
 * descriptors except stdin/stdout/stderr will be closed before
 * calling exec() in the child. %G_SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH means that
 * <literal>argv[0]</literal> need not be an absolute path, it
 * will be looked for in the user's PATH. %G_SPAWN_STDOUT_TO_DEV_NULL
 * means that the child's standad output will be discarded, instead
 * of going to the same location as the parent's standard output.
 * %G_SPAWN_STDERR_TO_DEV_NULL means that the child's standard error
 * will be discarded. %G_SPAWN_CHILD_INHERITS_STDIN means that
 * the child will inherit the parent's standard input (by default,
 * the child's standard input is attached to /dev/null).
 *
 * @child_setup and @user_data are a function and user data to be
 * called in the child after GLib has performed all the setup it plans
 * to perform (including creating pipes, closing file descriptors,
 * etc.) but before calling exec(). That is, @child_setup is called
 * just before calling exec() in the child. Obviously actions taken in
 * this function will only affect the child, not the parent. 
 *
 * If non-NULL, @child_pid will be filled with the child's process
 * ID. You can use the process ID to send signals to the child, or
 * to waitpid() if you specified the %G_SPAWN_DO_NOT_REAP_CHILD flag.
 *
 * If non-NULL, the @standard_input, @standard_output, @standard_error
 * locations will be filled with file descriptors for writing to the child's
 * standard input or reading from its standard output or standard error.
 * The caller of g_spawn_async_with_pipes() must close these file descriptors
 * when they are no longer in use. If these parameters are NULL, the
 * corresponding pipe won't be created.
 *
 * @error can be NULL to ignore errors, or non-NULL to report errors.
 * If an error is set, the function returns FALSE. Errors
 * are reported even if they occur in the child (for example if the
 * executable in <literal>argv[0]</literal> is not found). Typically
 * the <literal>message</literal> field of returned errors should be displayed
 * to users. Possible errors are those from the #G_SPAWN_ERROR domain.
 *
 * If an error occurs, @child_pid, @standard_input, @standard_output,
 * and @standard_error will not be filled with valid values.
 * 
 * Return value: TRUE on success, FALSE if an error was set
