A grandchild process will be started through the //! `fork()`-and-`posix_spawn()` pattern where supported, and //! double-`fork()`-and-`execv()` pattern elsewhere. This allows the grandchild //! to fully disassociate from the parent. The grandchild will not be a member //! of the parent’s process group or session and will not have a controlling //! terminal, providing isolation from signals not intended for it. The //! grandchild’s parent process, in terms of the process tree hierarchy, will be //! the process with process ID 1, relieving any other process of the //! responsibility to reap it via `waitpid()`. Aside from the three file //! descriptors associated with the standard input/output streams and any file //! descriptor passed in \a preserve_fd, the grandchild will not inherit any //! file descriptors from the parent process. //! //! \param[in] argv The argument vector to start the grandchild process with. //! `argv[0]` is used as the path to the executable. //! \param[in] envp A vector of environment variables of the form `var=value` to //! be passed to the spawned process. If this value is `nullptr`, the //! current environment is used. //! \param[in] preserve_fd A file descriptor to be inherited by the grandchild //! process. This file descriptor is inherited in addition to the three file //! descriptors associated with the standard input/output streams. Use `-1` //! if no additional file descriptors are to be inherited. //! \param[in] use_path Whether to consult the `PATH` environment variable when //! requested to start an executable at a non-absolute path. //! \param[in] child_function If not `nullptr`, this function will be called in //! the intermediate child process. Take note that this function will run in //! the context of a forked process, and must be safe for that purpose. //! //! \return `true` on success, and `false` on failure with a message logged. //! Only failures that occur in the parent process that indicate a definite //! failure to start the the grandchild are reported in the return value. //! Failures in the intermediate child or grandchild processes cannot be //! reported in the return value, and are addressed by logging a message and //! terminating. The caller assumes the responsibility for detecting such //! failures, for example, by observing a failure to perform a successful //! handshake with the grandchild process. bool SpawnSubprocess(const std::vector& argv, const std::vector* envp, int preserve_fd, bool use_path, void (*child_function)()); } // namespace crashpad #endif // CRASHPAD_UTIL_POSIX_SPAWN_SUBPROCESS_H_
