Function

GLibspawn_check_exit_status

Declaration

gboolean
g_spawn_check_exit_status (
  gint wait_status,
  GError** error
)

Description

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().

Available since:	2.34
Deprecated since:	2.70
Use `g_spawn_check_wait_status()` instead, and check whether your code is conflating wait and exit statuses.

Parameters

`wait_status`	`gint`
	A status as returned from `g_spawn_sync()`
`error`	`GError **`
	The return location for a `GError*`, or `NULL`.

Return value

Returns:	`gboolean`
	`TRUE` if child exited successfully, `FALSE` otherwise (and `error` will be set)
