Declaration [src] 

gboolean
casilda_compositor_spawn_async (
  CasildaCompositor* compositor,
  const gchar* working_directory,
  gchar** argv,
  gchar** envp,
  GSpawnFlags flags,
  GSpawnChildSetupFunc child_setup,
  gpointer user_data,
  GPid* child_pid,
  GError** error
)

Description [src]

Executes a child program asynchronously with the right environment to automatically connect to this compositor.

See g_spawn_async_with_pipes_and_fds() for a full description; this function simply calls g_spawn_async_with_pipes_and_fds() without any pipes and with WAYLAND_DISPLAY set to CasildaCompositor::socket or a fd already connected to the compositor and set to WAYLAND_SOCKET if its NULL.

Please note GDK_BACKEND, WAYLAND_DISPLAY and WAYLAND_SOCKET are set by this function they are ignored from %envp and DISPLAY is removed to avoid clients try to connect using X11.

Child’s environment, or NULL to inherit parent’s.

The argument can be NULL.
The array must be NULL-terminated.
The data is owned by the caller of the method.
Each element is a platform-native string, using the preferred OS encoding on Unix and UTF-8 on Windows.
flags

Type: GSpawnFlags

The argument can be NULL.
user_data

Type: gpointer
