| VteReaperVteReaper — A singleton object which catches  | 
            VteReaper;
VteReaper*  vte_reaper_get                  (void);
int         vte_reaper_add_child            (GPid pid);
"child-exited" void user_function (VteReaper *vtereaper, gint arg1, gint arg2, gpointer user_data);
Because an application may need to be notified when child processes
exit, and because there is only one SIGCHLD handler, the VteTerminal
widget relies on a VteReaper to watch for SIGCHLD notifications and
retrieve the exit status of child processes which have exited.  When
glib provides child_watch functionality, the VteReaper merely acts as
a proxy for glib's own functionality.
VteReaper* vte_reaper_get (void);
Finds the address of the global VteReaper object, creating the object if necessary.
| Returns : | the global VteReaper object, which should not be unreffed. | 
int vte_reaper_add_child (GPid pid);
Ensures that child-exited signals will be emitted when pid exits.  This is
necessary for correct operation when running with glib versions >= 2.4.
| pid: | the ID of a child process which will be monitored | 
| Returns : | the new source ID Since 0.11.11 | 
void user_function (VteReaper *vtereaper, gint arg1, gint arg2, gpointer user_data);
Emitted when the VteReaper object detects that a child of the current process has exited.
| vtereaper: | the object which received the signal. | 
| arg1: | the process ID of the exited child. | 
| arg2: | the status of the exited child, as returned by waitpid(). | 
| user_data: | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |
