NAME

7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <libexplain/execve.h>
10       void  explain_execve_or_die(const  char  *pathname,  const  char *const
11       *argv, const char *const *envp);
12

DESCRIPTION

14       The explain_execve_or_die function is used to call the execve(2) system
15       call.   On  failure  an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained
16       from explain_execve(3), and then  the  process  terminates  by  calling
17       exit(EXIT_FAILURE).
18
19       This  function  is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the fol‐
20       lowing example:
21              explain_execve_or_die(pathname, argv, envp);
22
23       pathname
24               The pathname, exactly as to be passed to the  execve(2)  system
25               call.
26
27       argv    The argv, exactly as to be passed to the execve(2) system call.
28
29       envp    The envp, exactly as to be passed to the execve(2) system call.
30
31       Returns:
32               This  function  only returns on success.  On failure, prints an
33               explanation and exits.
