[glib/wip/gsubprocess-2.36: 4/4] GSubprocess: New class for spawning child processes



commit 10a851b591eaccecdcf84a53562d78bdd1cb3541
Author: Colin Walters <walters verbum org>
Date:   Thu May 17 14:37:17 2012 -0400

    GSubprocess: New class for spawning child processes
    
    There are a number of nice things this class brings:
    
    0) On Unix, if WNOWAIT is available, has race-free termination API (we
       don't reap the child until the GSubprocess is finalized, so the
       GPid is always valid)
    1) Operates in terms of G{Input,Output}Stream, not file descriptors
    2) Async API instead of GSource
    3) Makes some simple cases easy, like synchronously spawning a
       process with an argument list
    4) Makes hard cases possible, like asynchronously running a process
       with stdout/stderr merged, output directly to a file path
    
    Much rewriting and code review from Ryan Lortie <desrt desrt ca>

+ *
+ * One major advantage that GIO brings over the core GLib library is

+ * significantly more powerful and flexible than equivalent APIs in
+ * some other languages such as the <literal>subprocess.py</literal>
+ * included with Python.  For example, using #GSubprocess one could
+ * create two child processes, reading standard output from the first,
+ * processing it, and writing to the input stream of the second, all
+ * without blocking the main loop.
