I'm not sure exactly the implementation. But if you're asking
to run bash and then print its output, wouldn't it have to
block because the output won't be complete until the program
has finished running? And since bash will run until you exit
the program will block for ever.
From what I understood in the documentation, I didnt think it
should block. I understood it's meant to run the child process in
the background and you communicate with it via the
stdin/stdout/stderr pipes. But, from experimentation I can see
that running /bin/bash does appear to block.
Ill have to do some more digging when I have the time...
