DEFAULT

Default behaviour. Since: 2.74

INHERIT_DESCRIPTORS

If this flag is given, the child process will inherit the parent’s open file descriptors.

INHERIT_STDERR

If this flag is given, the child process will inherit the parent’s stderr. Otherwise, the child’s stderr will not be visible, but it will be captured to allow later tests with test_trap_assert_stderr.

INHERIT_STDIN

If this flag is given, the child process will inherit the parent’s stdin. Otherwise, the child’s stdin is redirected to /dev/null.

INHERIT_STDOUT

If this flag is given, the child process will inherit the parent’s stdout. Otherwise, the child’s stdout will not be visible, but it will be captured to allow later tests with test_trap_assert_stdout.
