spawn.h(0P) POSIX Programmer's Manual spawn.h(0P)PROLOG
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux
implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding
Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
not be implemented on Linux.
NAMEspawn.h — spawn (ADVANCED REALTIME)
SYNOPSIS
#include <spawn.h>
DESCRIPTION
The <spawn.h> header shall define the posix_spawnattr_t and
posix_spawn_file_actions_t types used in performing spawn operations.
The <spawn.h> header shall define the mode_t and pid_t types as
described in <sys/types.h>.
The <spawn.h> header shall define the sigset_t type as described in
<signal.h>.
The tag sched_param shall be declared as naming an incomplete structure
type, the contents of which are described in the <sched.h> header.
The <spawn.h> header shall define the following symbolic constants for
use as the flags that may be set in a posix_spawnattr_t object using
the posix_spawnattr_setflags() function:
POSIX_SPAWN_RESETIDS
POSIX_SPAWN_SETPGROUP
POSIX_SPAWN_SETSCHEDPARAM
POSIX_SPAWN_SETSCHEDULER
POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGDEF
POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGMASK
The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as
macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.
int posix_spawn(pid_t *restrict, const char *restrict,
const posix_spawn_file_actions_t *,
const posix_spawnattr_t *restrict, char *const [restrict],
char *const [restrict]);
int posix_spawn_file_actions_addclose(posix_spawn_file_actions_t *,
int);
int posix_spawn_file_actions_adddup2(posix_spawn_file_actions_t *,
int, int);
int posix_spawn_file_actions_addopen(posix_spawn_file_actions_t *restrict,
int, const char *restrict, int, mode_t);
int posix_spawn_file_actions_destroy(posix_spawn_file_actions_t *);
int posix_spawn_file_actions_init(posix_spawn_file_actions_t *);
int posix_spawnattr_destroy(posix_spawnattr_t *);
int posix_spawnattr_getflags(const posix_spawnattr_t *restrict,
short *restrict);
int posix_spawnattr_getpgroup(const posix_spawnattr_t *restrict,
pid_t *restrict);
int posix_spawnattr_getschedparam(const posix_spawnattr_t *restrict,
struct sched_param *restrict);
int posix_spawnattr_getschedpolicy(const posix_spawnattr_t *restrict,
int *restrict);
int posix_spawnattr_getsigdefault(const posix_spawnattr_t *restrict,
sigset_t *restrict);
int posix_spawnattr_getsigmask(const posix_spawnattr_t *restrict,
sigset_t *restrict);
int posix_spawnattr_init(posix_spawnattr_t *);
int posix_spawnattr_setflags(posix_spawnattr_t *, short);
int posix_spawnattr_setpgroup(posix_spawnattr_t *, pid_t);
int posix_spawnattr_setschedparam(posix_spawnattr_t *restrict,
const struct sched_param *restrict);
int posix_spawnattr_setschedpolicy(posix_spawnattr_t *, int);
int posix_spawnattr_setsigdefault(posix_spawnattr_t *restrict,
const sigset_t *restrict);
int posix_spawnattr_setsigmask(posix_spawnattr_t *restrict,
const sigset_t *restrict);
int posix_spawnp(pid_t *restrict, const char *restrict,
const posix_spawn_file_actions_t *,
const posix_spawnattr_t *restrict,
char *const [restrict], char *const [restrict]);
Inclusion of the <spawn.h> header may make visible symbols defined in
the <sched.h> and <signal.h> headers.
The following sections are informative.
