### Function

# GLibspawn_async_with_fds

since: 2.58

#### Declaration [src]

    gboolean
    g_spawn_async_with_fds (
      const gchar* working_directory,
      gchar** argv,
      gchar** envp,
      GSpawnFlags flags,
      GSpawnChildSetupFunc child_setup,
      gpointer user_data,
      GPid* child_pid,
      gint stdin_fd,
      gint stdout_fd,
      gint stderr_fd,
      GError** error
    )

#### Description [src]

Executes a child program asynchronously.

Identical to `g_spawn_async_with_pipes_and_fds()` but with `n_fds` set to zero, so no FD assignments are used.

Available since: 2.58

#### Parameters

`working_directory`

  Type: `const gchar*`

  Child’s current working directory, or `NULL` to inherit parent’s, in the GLib file name encoding.

  The argument can be `NULL`.
  The data is owned by the caller of the function.
  The value is a platform-native string, using the preferred OS encoding on Unix and UTF-8 on Windows.

`argv`

  Type: An array of `gchar*`

  Child’s argument vector, in the GLib file name encoding; it must be non-empty and `NULL`-terminated.

  The array must be `NULL`-terminated.
  The data is owned by the caller of the function.
  Each element is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.

`envp`

  Type: An array of `gchar*`

  Child’s environment, or `NULL` to inherit parent’s, in the GLib file name encoding.

  The argument can be `NULL`.
  The array must be `NULL`-terminated.
  The data is owned by the caller of the function.
  Each element is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.

`flags`

  Type: `GSpawnFlags`

  Flags from `GSpawnFlags`.

`child_setup`

  Type: `GSpawnChildSetupFunc`

  Function to run in the child just before `exec()`.

  The argument can be `NULL`.

`user_data`

  Type: `gpointer`

  User data for `child_setup`.

  The argument can be `NULL`.
  The data is owned by the caller of the function.

`child_pid`

  Type: `GPid`

  Return location for child process ID, or `NULL`.

  The argument will be set by the function.
  The argument can be `NULL`.
  The caller of the function takes ownership of the returned data, and is responsible for freeing it.

`stdin_fd`

  Type: `gint`

  File descriptor to use for child’s stdin, or `-1`.

`stdout_fd`

  Type: `gint`

  File descriptor to use for child’s stdout, or `-1`.

`stderr_fd`

  Type: `gint`

  File descriptor to use for child’s stderr, or `-1`.

`error`

  Type: `GError **`

  The return location for a recoverable error.

  The argument can be `NULL`.
  If the return location is not `NULL`, then you must initialize it to a `NULL` `GError*`.
  The argument will be left initialized to `NULL` by the function if there are no errors.
  In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated `GError`; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.

#### Return value

Type: `gboolean`

`TRUE` on success, `FALSE` if an error was set.
