NAME

spawn.h - spawn (ADVANCED REALTIME)

SYNOPSIS

[SPN] [Option Start] #include <spawn.h> [Option End]

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 flags that may be set in a posix_spawnattr_t object using the posix_spawnattr_setflags() function:


POSIX_SPAWN_RESETIDS
POSIX_SPAWN_SETPGROUP
[PS] [Option Start]
POSIX_SPAWN_SETSCHEDPARAM
POSIX_SPAWN_SETSCHEDULER
[Option End]
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_getsigdefault(const posix_spawnattr_t *restrict,
          sigset_t *restrict);
int   posix_spawnattr_getflags(const posix_spawnattr_t *restrict,
          short *restrict);
int   posix_spawnattr_getpgroup(const posix_spawnattr_t *restrict,
          pid_t *restrict);
[PS][Option Start]
int   posix_spawnattr_getschedparam(const posix_spawnattr_t *restrict,
          struct sched_param *restrict);
int   posix_spawnattr_getschedpolicy(const posix_spawnattr_t *restrict,
          int *restrict);
[Option End]
int   posix_spawnattr_getsigmask(const posix_spawnattr_t *restrict,
          sigset_t *restrict);
int   posix_spawnattr_init(posix_spawnattr_t *);
int   posix_spawnattr_setsigdefault(posix_spawnattr_t *restrict,
          const sigset_t *restrict);
int   posix_spawnattr_setflags(posix_spawnattr_t *, short);
int   posix_spawnattr_setpgroup(posix_spawnattr_t *, pid_t);

[PS][Option Start] int posix_spawnattr_setschedparam(posix_spawnattr_t *restrict, const struct sched_param *restrict); int posix_spawnattr_setschedpolicy(posix_spawnattr_t *, int); [Option End] 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>, <signal.h>, and <sys/types.h> headers.

CHANGE HISTORY

First released in Issue 6. Included for alignment with IEEE Std 1003.1d-1999.

The restrict keyword is added to the prototypes for posix_spawn(), posix_spawn_file_actions_addopen(), posix_spawnattr_getsigdefault(), posix_spawnattr_getflags(), posix_spawnattr_getpgroup(), posix_spawnattr_getschedparam(), posix_spawnattr_getschedpolicy(), posix_spawnattr_getsigmask(), posix_spawnattr_setsigdefault(), posix_spawnattr_setschedparam(), posix_spawnattr_setsigmask(), and posix_spawnp().
