=head1 NAME

Proc::Background::Win32 - Windows-specific implementation of process create/wait/kill

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module does not have a public interface.  Use L<Proc::Background>.

=head1 IMPLEMENTATION

=head2 Perl Fork Limitations

When Perl is built as a native Win32 application, the C<fork> and C<exec> are
a broken approximation of their Unix counterparts.  Calling C<fork> creates a
I<thread> instead of a process, and there is no way to exit the thread without
running Perl cleanup code, which could damage the parent in unpredictable
ways, like closing file handles.  Calling C<POSIX::_exit> will kill both
parent and child (the whole process), and even calling C<exec> in the child
still runs global destruction.  File handles are shared between parent and
child, so any file handle redirection you perform in the forked child will
affect the parent and vice versa.

In short, B<never> call C<fork> or C<exec> on native Win32 Perl.

=head2 Command Line

This module implements background processes using L<Win32::Process>, which
uses the Windows API's concepts of C<CreateProcess>, C<TerminateProces>,
C<WaitForSingleObject>, C<GetExitCode>, and so on.

Windows CreateProcess expects an executable name and a command line; breaking
the command line into an argument list is left to each individual application,
most of which use the library function L<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/shellapi/nf-shellapi-commandlinetoargvw|CommandLineToArgvW>.  This module
uses L<Win32::ShellQuote> to parse and format Windows command lines.

If you supply a single-string command line, and don't specify the executable
with the C<exe> option, this module parses the first argument from the
command line to be the 'exe' option.  It then looks for the 'exe' in
C<< $ENV{PATH} >>, and tries again with a suffix of C<< .exe >> if it didn't
find one.  If you specify the option as C<< { exe => undef } >>, this module
skips that step and passes NULL to Win32 C<CreateProcess>, which causes
Windows to parse the first argument and find the executable on its own.
(Letting Windows search for the executable is probably a better idea anyway,
and this might become the default in the future.  It only works with
Win32::Process 0.17 or later)

If you supply an array of arguments as the command, this module combines them
into a command line using C<Win32::ShellQuote/quote_native>.  The first
argument is used as the executable (unless you specified the C<'exe'> option,
like above).

=head2 Initial File Handles

When B<no handle options> are specified, the new process does B<not inherit any file handles>
of the current process.  This differs from the Unix implementation where they are all
inherited by default, but I'm leaving it this way for backward compatibility.
In other words, yes, they ought to be inherited by default, but changing that now
is more likely to break things than fix things.

If you specify B<any> of C<stdin>, C<stdout>, or C<stderr>, any handle not
specified B<will be inherited> as-is.  In other words, by indicating you are
interested in passing file handles, the default Unix behavior occurs.
If you wish to redirect a handle to NUL, set the option to C<undef>:

  stdin  => undef,     # stdin will read from NUL device
  stdout => $some_fh,  # stdout will write to a file handle
  stderr => \*STDERR,  # stderr will go to the same STDERR of the current process

You may set a file handle to a pipe, but beware, Windows does not support
non-blocking reads or writes to pipes.
