66OS2::Process - exports constants for system() call on OS2.
67
68=head1 SYNOPSIS
69
70 use OS2::Process;
71 $pid = system(P_PM+P_BACKGROUND, "epm.exe");
72
73=head1 DESCRIPTION
74
75the builtin function system() under OS/2 allows an optional first
76argument which denotes the mode of the process. Note that this argument is
77recognized only if it is strictly numerical.
78
79You can use either one of the process modes:
80
81 P_WAIT (0) = wait until child terminates (default)
82 P_NOWAIT = do not wait until child terminates
83 P_SESSION = new session
84 P_DETACH = detached
85 P_PM = PM program
86
87and optionally add PM and session option bits:
88
89 P_DEFAULT (0) = default
90 P_MINIMIZE = minimized
91 P_MAXIMIZE = maximized
92 P_FULLSCREEN = fullscreen (session only)
93 P_WINDOWED = windowed (session only)
94
95 P_FOREGROUND = foreground (if running in foreground)
96 P_BACKGROUND = background
97
98 P_NOCLOSE = don't close window on exit (session only)
99
100 P_QUOTE = quote all arguments
101 P_TILDE = MKS argument passing convention
102 P_UNRELATED = do not kill child when father terminates
