spawnProcessDetached

Spawns a new process, optionally assigning it an arbitrary set of standard input, output, and error streams.

The function returns immediately, leaving the spawned process to execute in parallel with its parent.

The spawned process is detached from its parent, so you should not wait on the returned pid.

void spawnProcessDetached(in char[][] args, File stdin = std.stdio.stdin, File stdout = std.stdio.stdout, File stderr = std.stdio.stderr, const string[string] env = null, Config config = Config.none, in char[] workingDirectory = null, ulong* pid = null)
