NAME
spawn.h - spawn (ADVANCED REALTIME)
SYNOPSIS
#include <spawn.h>
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
POSIX_SPAWN_SETSCHEDPARAM
POSIX_SPAWN_SETSCHEDULER
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,

int posix_spawnattr_getsigmask(const posix_spawnattr_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);
int posix_spawnattr_setschedparam(posix_spawnattr_t *restrict,
const struct sched_param *restrict);
int posix_spawnattr_setschedpolicy(posix_spawnattr_t *, int);
int posix_spawnattr_setsigmask(posix_spawnattr_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.
The following sections are informative.
