posix_spawn_file_actions_init(3)

NAME

posix_spawn_file_actions_init, posix_spawn_file_actions_destroy — create and destroy posix_spawn file actions objects

SYNOPSIS

#include <spawn.h>

int
posix_spawn_file_actions_init(posix_spawn_file_actions_t *file_actions);

int
posix_spawn_file_actions_destroy(posix_spawn_file_actions_t *file_actions);

DESCRIPTION

File actions objects can be initialized by posix_spawn_file_actions_init() and destroyed by posix_spawn_file_actions_destroy().

Multiple initialization of the same object is undefined behavior and will lead to memory leaks.

Similarly, objects should be passed to posix_spawn_file_actions_destroy() to reclaim memory. The object should not be re-used after destruction. It can however be initialized again with posix_spawn_file_actions_init().

RETURN VALUES

These function return 0 on successful completion. They may return ENOMEM when running out of memory.

SEE ALSO

posix_spawn(3), posix_spawn_file_actions_addopen(3)

STANDARDS

Both functions conform to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (“POSIX.1”).
