StartExecutable

Utilities

Start executable as an external process on the host computer. The function returns immediately, and the outputs are available by calling the function WaitExecutable.

When the option OP_EXEC_FILE_OUTPUT_STDERR is setted, the stderr outputs are separated of the stdout outputs. See WaitExecutable for more information.

When the option OP_EXEC_FILE_DETACHED is setted, the outputs are lost.
