If CONFIG_BINFMT_LOADABLE is defined, this function will * schedule to unload the module when task exits. * * This non-standard, NuttX function is similar to execv() and * posix_spawn() but differs in the following ways; * * - Unlike execv() and posix_spawn() this function accepts symbol table * information as input parameters. This means that the symbol table * used to link the application prior to execution is provided by the * caller, not by the system. * - Unlike execv(), this function always returns. * * This non-standard interface is included as a official NuttX API only * because it is needed in certain build modes: exec() is probably the * only way to load programs in the PROTECTED mode. Other file execution * APIs rely on a symbol table provided by the OS. In the PROTECTED build * mode, the OS cannot provide any meaningful symbolic information for * execution of code in the user-space blob so that is the exec() function * is really needed in that build case * * The interface is available in the FLAT build mode although it is not * really necessary in that case. It is currently used by some example * code under the apps/ that that generate their own symbol tables for * linking test programs. So although it is not necessary, it can still * be useful. * * The interface would be completely useless and will not be supported in * in the KERNEL build mode where the contrary is true: An application * process cannot provide any meaningful symbolic information for use in * linking a different process. * * NOTE: This function is flawed and useless without CONFIG_BINFMT_LOADABLE * because without that features there is then no mechanism to unload the * module once it exits. * * Input Parameters: * filename - The path to the program to be executed. If * CONFIG_LIBC_ENVPATH is defined in the configuration, then * this may be a relative path from the current working * directory. Otherwise, path must be the absolute path to the * program. * argv - A pointer to an array of string arguments. The end of the * array is indicated with a NULL entry. * exports - The address of the start of the caller-provided symbol * table. This symbol table contains the addresses of symbols * exported by the caller and made available for linking the * module into the system. * nexports - The number of symbols in the exports table. * * Returned Value: * This is an end-user function, so it follows the normal convention: * It returns the PID of the exec'ed module. On failure, it returns * -1 (ERROR) and sets errno appropriately. * ****************************************************************************/ int exec(FAR const char *filename, FAR char * const *argv, FAR const struct symtab_s *exports, int nexports) { int ret; ret = exec_spawn(filename, argv, exports, nexports, NULL); if (ret < 0) { set_errno(-ret); ret = ERROR; } return ret; } #endif /* !CONFIG_BINFMT_DISABLE */
