Function

GLib-2.0GLibspawn_check_exit_statusDeprecated 2.70Since 2.34

  • An old name for g_spawn_check_wait_status(), deprecated because its name is misleading.

    Despite the name of the function, wait_status must be the wait status as returned by g_spawn_sync(), g_subprocess_get_status(), waitpid(), etc. On Unix platforms, it is incorrect for it to be the exit status as passed to exit() or returned by g_subprocess_get_exit_status() or WEXITSTATUS().

    Parameters

    • Deprecatedwait_status: number

      A status as returned from g_spawn_sync()

    Returns boolean

    true if child exited successfully, false otherwise (and error will be set)

    2.34

    since 2.70: Use g_spawn_check_wait_status() instead, and check whether your code is conflating wait and exit statuses.
