CRTL, execvp
*Conan The Librarian
|
Passes the name of an image to be activated in a child process.
This function is nonreentrant.
Format
#include <unistd.h>
int execvp (const char *file_name, char *argv[]);
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 environment name VAXC$PATH.
argv
An array of pointers to null-terminated character strings.
These strings constitute the argument list available to the new
process. By convention, argv[0] must point to a string that is
the same as the new process filename (or its last component).
argv is terminated by a NULL pointer.
See execl for a description of how the exec functions operate.
-1 Indicates failure.
