FEXECVE(3)                 Linux Programmer's Manual                FEXECVE(3)



 

NAME


       fexecve - execute program specified via file descriptor

 

SYNOPSIS


       #define _GNU_SOURCE
       #include 

       int fexecve(int fd, char *const argv[], char *const envp[]);

 

DESCRIPTION






       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.

 

RETURN VALUE


       A  successful  call to fexecve() never returns.  On error, the function
       returns, with a result value of -1 is returned, and errno is set appro-
       priately.

 

ERRORS


       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.

 

VERSIONS


       fexecve() is implemented since glibc 2.3.2.

 

CONFORMING TO


       This function is Linux-specific.  It is under consideration for  inclu-
       sion in a future version of POSIX.1.
