A simple version of spawn_sync with little-used parameters removed, taking a command line instead of an argument vector.
See spawn_sync for full details.
The command_line argument will be parsed by parse_argv.
Unlike spawn_sync, the g_spawn_search_path flag is enabled. Note that g_spawn_search_path can have security implications, so consider using spawn_sync directly if appropriate.
Possible errors are those from spawn_sync and those from parse_argv.
If wait_status is non-null, the platform-specific status of the child is stored there; see
the documentation of check_wait_status for how to use and interpret
this. On Unix platforms, note that it is usually not equal to the integer passed to `exit()` or returned from `main()`.
On Windows, please note the implications of parse_argv parsing command_line
. Parsing is done according to Unix shell rules, not Windows command interpreter rules. Space is a separator, and backslashes are
special. Thus you cannot simply pass a command_line containing canonical Windows paths, like "c:\\program
files\\app\\app.exe", as the backslashes will be eaten, and the space will act as a separator. You need to enclose such paths with single
quotes, like "'c:\\program files\\app\\app.exe' 'e:\\folder\\argument.txt'".
