NAME¶
explain_execve_or_die - execute program and report errors
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <libexplain/execve.h>
void explain_execve_or_die(const char *pathname, const char *const *argv, const
char *const *envp);
DESCRIPTION¶
The
explain_execve_or_die function is used to call the
execve(2)
system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to
stderr,
obtained from
explain_execve(3), and then the process terminates by
calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).
This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following
example:
explain_execve_or_die(pathname, argv, envp);
- pathname
- The pathname, exactly as to be passed to the
execve(2) system call.
- argv
- The argv, exactly as to be passed to the execve(2)
system call.
- envp
- The envp, exactly as to be passed to the execve(2)
system call.
- Returns:
- This function only returns on success. On failure, prints
an explanation and exits.
