Sorry, doesn't exist.

If it were Unix then there are techniques involving multiple shell levels
and 'nohup' -- or better yet, POSIX extensions such as setsid()
and O_NOCTTY when opening devices. But those are OS (or at least POSIX)
specific, not part of C, and I have idea what the Windows paradigm would be.
