/* Wait for a subprocess to finish. Return its exit code.

|
If it didn't terminate correctly, exit if exit_on_error is true, otherwise

|
return 127.
|
|
Arguments:
|
|
- child is the pid of the subprocess.
|
|
- progname is the name of the program executed by the subprocess, used for
|
|
error messages.
|
|
- If ignore_sigpipe is true, consider a subprocess termination due to
|
|
SIGPIPE as equivalent to a success. This is suitable for processes whose
|
|
only purpose is to write to standard output. This flag can be safely set
|
|
to false when the process' standard output is known to go to DEV_NULL.
|
|
- If null_stderr is true, the usual error message to stderr will be omitted.
|
|
This is suitable when the subprocess does not fulfill an important task.
|
|
- slave_process should be set to true if the process has been launched as a
|
|
slave process.
|
|
- If exit_on_error is true, any error will cause the main process to exit
|
|
with an error status. */
