If the 'pid' * argument is a null pointer, the process ID of the child is not * returned to the caller. * * path - The 'path' argument to posix_spawn() is the absolute path that * identifies the file to execute. The 'path' argument to posix_spawnp() * may also be a relative path and will be used to construct a pathname * that identifies the file to execute. In the case of a relative path, * the path prefix for the file will be obtained by a search of the * directories passed as the environment variable PATH. * * NOTE: NuttX provides only one implementation: If * CONFIG_LIBC_ENVPATH is defined, then only posix_spawnp() behavior * is supported; otherwise, only posix_spawn behavior is supported. * * file_actions - If 'file_actions' is a null pointer, then file * descriptors open in the calling process will remain open in the * child process (unless CONFIG_FDCLONE_STDIO is defined). If * 'file_actions' is not NULL, then the file descriptors open in the * child process will be those open in the calling process as modified * by the spawn file actions object pointed to by file_actions. * * attr - If the value of the 'attr' parameter is NULL, the all default * values for the POSIX spawn attributes will be used. Otherwise, the * attributes will be set according to the spawn flags. The * posix_spawnattr_t spawn attributes object type is defined in spawn.h. * It will contains these attributes, not all of which are supported by * NuttX: * * - POSIX_SPAWN_SETPGROUP: Setting of the new task's process group is * not supported. NuttX does not support process groups. * - POSIX_SPAWN_SETSCHEDPARAM: Set new tasks priority to the sched_param * value. * - POSIX_SPAWN_SETSCHEDULER: Set the new task's scheduler policy to * the sched_policy value. * - POSIX_SPAWN_RESETIDS: Resetting of the effective user ID of the * child process is not supported. NuttX does not support effective * user IDs. * - POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGMASK: Set the new task's signal mask. * - POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGDEF: Resetting signal default actions is not * supported. NuttX does not support default signal actions. * * argv - argv[] is the argument list for the new task. argv[] is an * array of pointers to null-terminated strings. The list is terminated * with a null pointer. * * envp - envp[] is an array of character pointers to null-terminated * strings that provide the environment for the new process image. * * Returned Value: * posix_spawn() and posix_spawnp() will return zero on success. * Otherwise, an error number will be returned as the function return * value to indicate the error: * * - EINVAL: The value specified by 'file_actions' or 'attr' is invalid. * - Any errors that might have been return if vfork() and excec[l|v]() * had been called. * * Assumptions/Limitations: * - NuttX provides only posix_spawn() or posix_spawnp() behavior * depending upon the setting of CONFIG_LIBC_ENVPATH: If * CONFIG_LIBC_ENVPATH is defined, then only posix_spawnp() behavior * is supported; otherwise, only posix_spawn behavior is supported. * - Process groups are not supported (POSIX_SPAWN_SETPGROUP). * - Effective user IDs are not supported (POSIX_SPAWN_RESETIDS). * - Signal default actions cannot be modified in the newly task executed * because NuttX does not support default signal actions * (POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGDEF). * * POSIX Compatibility * - The value of the argv[0] received by the child task is assigned by * NuttX.
