+   - If ignore_sigpipe is true, consider a subprocess termination due to

+     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.
+   - If termsigp is not NULL: *termsig will be set to the signal that
