+/* Execute a command, optionally redirecting any of the three standard file
+   descriptors to /dev/null.  Return its exit code.
+   If it didn't terminate correctly, exit if exit_on_error is true, otherwise
+   return 127.
+   If ignore_sigpipe is true, consider a subprocess termination due to SIGPIPE
+   as equivalent to a success.  This is suitable for processes whose only
+   purpose is to write to standard output.
+   If slave_process is true, the child process will be terminated when its
+   creator receives a catchable fatal signal.
+   If termsigp is not NULL, *termsig will be set to the signal that terminated
+   the subprocess (if supported by the platform: not on native Windows
+   platforms), otherwise 0.
+   It is recommended that no signal is blocked or ignored while execute()
+   is called.  See pipe.h for the reason.  */
