+/* NAME
+/* spawn_command 3
+/* SUMMARY
+/* run external command
+/* SYNOPSIS
+/* #include <spawn_command.h>
+/*
+/* WAIT_STATUS_T spawn_command(key, value, ...)
+/* int key;
+/* DESCRIPTION
+/* spawn_command() runs a command in a child process and returns
+/* the command exit status.
+/*
+/* Arguments:
+/* .IP key
+/* spawn_command() takes a list of macros with arguments,
+/* terminated by CA_SPAWN_CMD_END which has no arguments. The
+/* following is a listing of macros and expected argument
+/* types.
+/* .RS
+/* .IP "CA_SPAWN_CMD_COMMAND(const char *)"
+/* Specifies the command to execute as a string. The string is
+/* passed to the shell when it contains shell meta characters
+/* or when it appears to be a shell built-in command, otherwise
+/* the command is executed without invoking a shell.
+/* One of CA_SPAWN_CMD_COMMAND or CA_SPAWN_CMD_ARGV must be specified.
+/* See also the SPAWN_CMD_SHELL attribute below.
+/* .IP "CA_SPAWN_CMD_ARGV(char **)"
+/* The command is specified as an argument vector. This vector is
+/* passed without further inspection to the \fIexecvp\fR() routine.
+/* One of CA_SPAWN_CMD_COMMAND or CA_SPAWN_CMD_ARGV must be specified.
+/* .IP "CA_SPAWN_CMD_ENV(char **)"
+/* Additional environment information, in the form of a null-terminated
+/* list of name, value, name, value, ... elements. By default only the
+/* command search path is initialized to _PATH_DEFPATH.
+/* .IP "CA_SPAWN_CMD_EXPORT(char **)"
+/* Null-terminated array of names of environment parameters that can
+/* be exported. By default, everything is exported.
+/* .IP "CA_SPAWN_CMD_STDIN(int)"
+/* .IP "CA_SPAWN_CMD_STDOUT(int)"
+/* .IP "CA_SPAWN_CMD_STDERR(int)"
+/* Each of these specifies I/O redirection of one of the standard file
+/* descriptors for the command.
+/* .IP "CA_SPAWN_CMD_UID(uid_t)"
+/* The user ID to execute the command as. The value -1 is reserved
+/* and cannot be specified.
+/* .IP "CA_SPAWN_CMD_GID(gid_t)"
+/* The group ID to execute the command as. The value -1 is reserved
+/* and cannot be specified.
+/* .IP "CA_SPAWN_CMD_TIME_LIMIT(int)"
+/* The amount of time in seconds the command is allowed to run before
+/* it is terminated with SIGKILL. The default is no time limit.
+/* .IP "CA_SPAWN_CMD_SHELL(const char *)"
+/* The shell to use when executing the command specified with
+/* CA_SPAWN_CMD_COMMAND. This shell is invoked regardless of the
+/* command content.
+/* .RE
+/* DIAGNOSTICS
+/* Panic: interface violations (for example, a missing command).
+/*
+/* Fatal error: fork() failure, other system call failures.
+/*
+/* spawn_command() returns the exit status as defined by wait(2).
