From df7428eca46ec25df5ef14bc7e90120bdc267328 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florian Achleitner Date: Wed, 19 Sep 2012 17:21:18 +0200 Subject: Add argv_array_detach and argv_array_free_detached Allow detaching of ownership of the argv_array's contents and add a function to free those detached argv_arrays later. This makes it possible to use argv_array efficiently with the exiting struct child_process which only contains a member char **argv. Add to documentation.
