The arguments are interpreted as a hash of options, specifying how to handle the in and output of the program to execute. Returns the pid of the child process (unless the wait_child option was given). Any error will cause the function to exit with one of the Dpkg::ErrorHandling functions. Options: =over 4 =item exec Can be either a scalar, i.e. the name of the program to be executed, or an array reference, i.e. the name of the program plus additional arguments. Note that the program will never be executed via the shell, so you can't specify additional arguments in the scalar string and you can't use any shell facilities like globbing. Mandatory Option. =item from_file, to_file, error_to_file Filename as scalar. Standard input/output/error of the child process will be redirected to the file specified. =item from_handle, to_handle, error_to_handle Filehandle. Standard input/output/error of the child process will be dup'ed from the handle. =item from_pipe, to_pipe, error_to_pipe Scalar reference or object based on IO::Handle. A pipe will be opened for each of the two options and either the reading (C and C) or the writing end (C) will be returned in the referenced scalar. Standard input/output/error of the child process will be dup'ed to the other ends of the pipes. =item from_string, to_string, error_to_string Scalar reference. Standard input/output/error of the child process will be redirected to the string given as reference. Note that it wouldn't be strictly necessary to use a scalar reference for C, as the string is not modified in any way. This was chosen only for reasons of symmetry with C and C. C and C imply the C option. =item wait_child Scalar. If containing a true value, wait_child() will be called before returning. The return value of spawn() will be a true value, not the pid. =item nocheck Scalar. Option of the wait_child() call. =item timeout Scalar. Option of the wait_child() call. =item chdir Scalar. The child process will chdir in the indicated directory before calling exec. =item env Hash reference. The child process will populate %ENV with the items of the hash before calling exec. This allows exporting environment variables. =item delete_env Array reference. The child process will remove all environment variables listed in the array before calling exec. =item sig Hash reference. The child process will populate %SIG with the items of the hash before calling exec. This allows setting signal dispositions. =item delete_sig Array reference. The child process will reset all signals listed in the array to their default dispositions before calling exec. =back =cut sub _sanity_check_opts { my (%opts) = @_; croak 'exec parameter is mandatory in spawn()' unless $opts{exec}; my $to = my $error_to = my $from = 0; foreach my $thing (qw(file handle string pipe)) { $to++ if $opts{"to_$thing"}; $error_to++ if $opts{"error_to_$thing"}; $from++ if $opts{"from_$thing"}; } croak 'not more than one of to_* parameters is allowed' if $to > 1; croak 'not more than one of error_to_* parameters is allowed' if $error_to > 1; croak 'not more than one of from_* parameters is allowed' if $from > 1; foreach my $param (qw(to_string error_to_string from_string)) { if (exists $opts{$param} and (not ref $opts{$param} or ref $opts{$param} ne 'SCALAR')) { croak "parameter $param must be a scalar reference"; } } foreach my $param (qw(to_pipe error_to_pipe from_pipe)) { if (exists $opts{$param} and (not ref $opts{$param} or (ref $opts{$param} ne 'SCALAR' and not $opts{$param}->isa('IO::Handle')))) { croak "parameter $param must be a scalar reference or " .
