<hr><a name="_details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
A structure for the spawn api.
<p>
This may be used to integrate auto spawned daemons into your application. For more information see <a class="el" href="context_8h.html#983ce13d45c5f4b0db8e1a34e21f9fce" title="Connect the context to the specified server.">pa_context_connect()</a>. When spawning a new child process the waitpid() is used on the child's PID. The spawn routine will not block or ignore SIGCHLD signals, since this cannot be done in a thread compatible way. You might have to do this in prefork/postfork. <hr><h2>Field Documentation</h2>
