Johannes Sixt	5f38ff014e	Split PATH into parts in advance, and pass the result to the new spawnvppe_pipe.	2007-01-19 16:34:59 +01:00
Johannes Sixt	23960ed3c3	Enable the spawn workhorse function to spawn shell scripts. ... For this purpose the path lookup is done manually, and the found file is inspected for the interpreter. If one is found, the script is spawned under the interpreter; otherwise, the program is spawned normally.	2007-01-19 16:32:23 +01:00
Johannes Sixt	09653a29cf	Move script detection into a helper function that returns the interpreter. ... This will be needed later in the spawn helper functions, too, where we want to start a shell or perl script from an exe.	2007-01-19 16:32:23 +01:00
Johannes Sixt	2bd27c7c97	Report failure when a process cannot be spawned (MinGW only).	2007-01-19 16:32:23 +01:00
Johannes Sixt	0400c502c3	Factor fork()/exec() work into a spawn() like function. ... Windows does not have fork(), but something called spawn() that is roughly equivalent to a fork()/exec() pair, factor out the Unix style code into a function that does it more similarly to spawn(). Now the Windows style spawn() can more easily be employed to achieve the same that the Unix style code does.	2007-01-19 16:32:23 +01:00
