Passes the name of an image to be activated in a child process.
This function is nonreentrant.
Format
#include <unistd.h>
int execlp (const char *file_name, const char *arg0, . . . ,
(char *)0); (ISO POSIX-1)
int execlp (char *file_name, . . . ); (Compatibility)
file_name
The filename of a new image to be activated in the child process.
The device and directory specification for the file is obtained
by searching the VAXC$PATH environment name.
argn
A sequence of pointers to null-terminated character strings. By
convention, at least one argument must be present and must point
to a string that is the same as the new process filename (or its
last component).
. . .
A sequence of pointers to strings. At least one pointer must
exist to terminate the list. This pointer must be the NULL
pointer.
See execl for a description of how the exec functions operate.
