There are a number of nice things this class brings: 0) Has a race-free termination API on all platforms (on UNIX, calls to kill() and waitpid() are coordinated as not to cause problems). 1) Operates in terms of G{Input,Output}Stream, not file descriptors 2) Standard GIO-style async API for wait() with cancellation 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> https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=672102
