 * @title: GSubprocess Launcher
 * @short_description: Environment options for launching a child process
 * @include: gio/gio.h
 *
 * This class contains a set of options for launching child processes,
 * such as where its standard input and output will be directed, the
 * argument list, the environment, and more.
 *
 * While the #GSubprocess class has high level functions covering
 * popular cases, use of this class allows access to more advanced
 * options.  It can also be used to launch multiple subprocesses with
 * a similar configuration.
 *
 * Since: 2.40
