If {\it sync} is FALSE (the default), flow of control immediately returns.
If TRUE, the current application waits until the other program has terminated.
-The return value is the process id, not the exit code of invoked program (for
-this you should use wxProcess). A zero value indicates that the command could
-not be executed.
+In the case of synchronous execution, the return value is trhe exit code of
+the process (which terminates by the moment the function returns) and will be
+$-1$ if the process couldn't be started and typically 0 if the process
+terminated successfully.
+
+For asynchronous execution, however, the return value is the process id and
+zero value indicates that the command could not be executed.
If callback isn't NULL and if execution is asynchronous (note that callback
parameter can not be non NULL for synchronous execution),
