Boost C++ Libraries

Description

When an io_context is passed, the on_exit property can be used, to be notified when the child process exits.

The following syntax is valid

on_exit=function;
on_exit(function);

with function being a callable object with the signature (int, const std::error_code&) or an std::future<int>.

Example. 

io_context ios;

child c("ls", on_exit=[](int exit, const std::error_code& ec_in){});

std::future<int> exit_code;
chlid c2("ls", on_exit=exit_code);

	Note
	The handler is not invoked when the launch fails.

	Warning
	When used ignore_error it might get invoked on error. All on_exit use one signal(SIGCHLD) on posix, which is only guaranteed to work when all use the same io_context.
