+        '''This is the constructor. The command parameter may be a string that
+        includes a command and any arguments to the command. For example::
+
+            child = pexpect.spawn('/usr/bin/ftp')
+            child = pexpect.spawn('/usr/bin/ssh user@example.com')
+            child = pexpect.spawn('ls -latr /tmp')
+
+        You may also construct it with a list of arguments like so::
+
+            child = pexpect.spawn('/usr/bin/ftp', [])
+            child = pexpect.spawn('/usr/bin/ssh', ['user@example.com'])
+            child = pexpect.spawn('ls', ['-latr', '/tmp'])
+
+        After this the child application will be created and will be ready to
+        talk to. For normal use, see expect() and send() and sendline().
+
+        Remember that Pexpect does NOT interpret shell meta characters such as
+        redirect, pipe, or wild cards (``>``, ``|``, or ``*``). This is a
+        common mistake.  If you want to run a command and pipe it through
+        another command then you must also start a shell. For example::
+
+            child = pexpect.spawn('/bin/bash -c "ls -l | grep LOG > logs.txt"')
+            child.expect(pexpect.EOF)
+
+        The second form of spawn (where you pass a list of arguments) is useful
+        in situations where you wish to spawn a command and pass it its own
+        argument list. This can make syntax more clear. For example, the
+        following is equivalent to the previous example::
+
+            shell_cmd = 'ls -l | grep LOG > logs.txt'
+            child = pexpect.spawn('/bin/bash', ['-c', shell_cmd])
+            child.expect(pexpect.EOF)
+
+        The maxread attribute sets the read buffer size. This is maximum number
+        of bytes that Pexpect will try to read from a TTY at one time. Setting
+        the maxread size to 1 will turn off buffering. Setting the maxread
+        value higher may help performance in cases where large amounts of
+        output are read back from the child. This feature is useful in
+        conjunction with searchwindowsize.
+
+        When the keyword argument *searchwindowsize* is None (default), the
+        full buffer is searched at each iteration of receiving incoming data.
+        The default number of bytes scanned at each iteration is very large
+        and may be reduced to collaterally reduce search cost.  After
+        :meth:`~.expect` returns, the full buffer attribute remains up to
+        size *maxread* irrespective of *searchwindowsize* value.
+
+        When the keyword argument ``timeout`` is specified as a number,
+        (default: *30*), then :class:`TIMEOUT` will be raised after the value
+        specified has elapsed, in seconds, for any of the :meth:`~.expect`
+        family of method calls.  When None, TIMEOUT will not be raised, and
+        :meth:`~.expect` may block indefinitely until match.
+
+
+        The logfile member turns on or off logging. All input and output will
+        be copied to the given file object. Set logfile to None to stop
+        logging. This is the default. Set logfile to sys.stdout to echo
+        everything to standard output. The logfile is flushed after each write.
+
+        Example log input and output to a file::
+
+            child = pexpect.spawn('some_command')
+            fout = open('mylog.txt','wb')
+            child.logfile = fout
+
+        Example log to stdout::
+
+            # In Python 2:
+            child = pexpect.spawn('some_command')
+            child.logfile = sys.stdout
+
+            # In Python 3, spawnu should be used to give str to stdout:
+            child = pexpect.spawnu('some_command')
+            child.logfile = sys.stdout
+
+        The logfile_read and logfile_send members can be used to separately log
+        the input from the child and output sent to the child. Sometimes you
+        don't want to see everything you write to the child. You only want to
+        log what the child sends back. For example::
+
+            child = pexpect.spawn('some_command')
+            child.logfile_read = sys.stdout
+
+        You will need to pass an encoding to spawn in the above code if you are
+        using Python 3.
+
+        To separately log output sent to the child use logfile_send::
+
+            child.logfile_send = fout
+
+        If ``ignore_sighup`` is True, the child process will ignore SIGHUP
+        signals. The default is False from Pexpect 4.0, meaning that SIGHUP
+        will be handled normally by the child.
+
+        The delaybeforesend helps overcome a weird behavior that many users
+        were experiencing. The typical problem was that a user would expect() a
+        "Password:" prompt and then immediately call sendline() to send the
+        password. The user would then see that their password was echoed back
+        to them. Passwords don't normally echo. The problem is caused by the
+        fact that most applications print out the "Password" prompt and then
+        turn off stdin echo, but if you send your password before the
+        application turned off echo, then you get your password echoed.
+        Normally this wouldn't be a problem when interacting with a human at a
+        real keyboard. If you introduce a slight delay just before writing then
+        this seems to clear up the problem. This was such a common problem for
+        many users that I decided that the default pexpect behavior should be
+        to sleep just before writing to the child application. 1/20th of a
+        second (50 ms) seems to be enough to clear up the problem. You can set
+        delaybeforesend to 0 to return to the old behavior. Most Linux machines
+        don't like this to be below 0.03. I don't know why.
+
+        Note that spawn is clever about finding commands on your path.
+        It uses the same logic that "which" uses to find executables.
+
+        If you wish to get the exit status of the child you must call the
+        close() method. The exit or signal status of the child will be stored
+        in self.exitstatus or self.signalstatus. If the child exited normally
+        then exitstatus will store the exit return code and signalstatus will
+        be None. If the child was terminated abnormally with a signal then
+        signalstatus will store the signal value and exitstatus will be None.
+        If you need more detail you can also read the self.status member which
+        stores the status returned by os.waitpid. You can interpret this using
+        os.WIFEXITED/os.WEXITSTATUS or os.WIFSIGNALED/os.TERMSIG.
+
+        The echo attribute may be set to False to disable echoing of input.
+        As a pseudo-terminal, all input echoed by the "keyboard" (send()
+        or sendline()) will be repeated to output.  For many cases, it is
+        not desirable to have echo enabled, and it may be later disabled
+        using setecho(False) followed by waitnoecho().  However, for some
+        platforms such as Solaris, this is not possible, and should be
+        disabled immediately on spawn.
+        
+        If preexec_fn is given, it will be called in the child process before
+        launching the given command. This is useful to e.g. reset inherited
+        signal handlers.
+
+        The dimensions attribute specifies the size of the pseudo-terminal as
+        seen by the subprocess, and is specified as a two-entry tuple (rows,
+        columns). If this is unspecified, the defaults in ptyprocess will apply.
