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

() never returns. On error, the
function returns, with a result value of −1 is
returned, and errno
is set
appropriately.
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.
