fexecve − execute program specified via file descriptor
#include <sys/time.h>
int fexecve(int fd, char *const argv[], char *const envp[]);
fexecve() performs the same task as execve(2), with the difference that the file to be executed is specified via a file descriptor, fd, rather than via a pathname.
A successful call to fexecve() never returns. On error, the function returns, with a result value of −1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.
Errors are as for execve(2), with the following additions:
EINVAL |
fd is not a valid file descriptor, or argv is NULL, or envp is NULL. | ||
ENOSYS |
The /proc file system could not be accessed. |
fexecve() is implemented since glibc 2.3.2.
This function is Linux specific. It is under consideration for inclusion in a future version of POSIX.1.
