+Spawn, aka execute, an external program. (rpm >= 4.20)
+
+`{command}` is a table consisting of the command and its arguments.
+An optional second table can be used to pass various actions related
+to the command execution, currently supported are:
+
+| Action  | Argument(s) | Description
+|---------|----------------------
+| `stdin` | path        | Redirect standard input to path
+| `stdout`| path        | Redirect standard output to path
+| `stderr`| path        | Redirect standard error to path
+
+Returns the command exit status.

Interesting. The difference comes from executing posix_spawn_file_actions_init(), even if it's empty. And rpm.spawn() always initializes it to keep things simple, under the assumption that an empty set doesn't make any difference, right? :smile: Good spotting, thanks.
