Zig 0.17.0-dev (Split by item)

This is an example of documentation generated by ZigDoc, an alternative to Zig's built-in Auto Doc feature. See also examples in other modes/formats. The project being documented here (as the example) is the Zig library itself.

spawn

Creates a child process.

argv[0] is the name of the program to execute. If it is not already a file path (i.e. it contains '/'), it is resolved into a file path based on PATH from the parent environment.

pub fn spawn(io: Io, options: SpawnOptions) SpawnError!Child

File

lib/std/process.zig:451

pub fn spawn(io: Io, options: SpawnOptions) SpawnError!Child {
    return io.vtable.processSpawn(io.userdata, options);
