Initializes the process handle and starts the process. If the process is

negative error code corresponding to the reason it couldn't spawn is

returned. Note that either way-success or failure--you must eventually call
:c:func:`uv_close` to close the handle again before freeing the memory of
the handle, unlike other the other init functions in libuv.
Possible reasons for failing to spawn would include (but not be limited to)
the file to execute not existing, not having permissions to use the setuid or
setgid specified, or not having enough memory to allocate for the new
process.
Whether the call succeeds or fails, you must call :c:func:`uv_close` before
freeing the memory of handle (unlike other init function in libuv).
.. warning::
On unix, if the process has not yet exited when you call `uv_close`,
you will create a zombie that libuv cannot reap. You are responsible
