posix_spawnattr_setflags3
Get and set the spawn-flags attribute of a spawn attributes object
Part of posix_spawnattr_getflags(3).
Usage
#include <spawn.h>
int
posix_spawnattr_getflags(const posix_spawnattr_t *restrict attr, short *restrict flags);
int
posix_spawnattr_setflags(posix_spawnattr_t *attr, short flags);
Library
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
Overview
The posix_spawnattr_getflags() function obtains the value of the spawn-flags attribute from the attributes object referenced by attr.
The posix_spawnattr_setflags() function sets the spawn-flags attribute in an initialized attributes object referenced by attr.
The spawn-flags attribute is used to indicate which process attributes are to be changed in the new process image when invoking posix_spawn() or posix_spawnp(). It is the bitwise-inclusive OR of zero or more of the following flags (see posix_spawn()):
- POSIX_SPAWN_RESETIDS
- POSIX_SPAWN_SETPGROUP
- POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGDEF
- POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGMASK
- POSIX_SPAWN_SETSCHEDPARAM
- POSIX_SPAWN_SETSCHEDULER
- POSIX_SPAWN_DISABLE_ASLR_NP
These flags are defined in ⟨spawn.h⟩. The default value of this attribute is as if no flags were set.
Return values
The posix_spawnattr_getflags() function returns zero. The posix_spawnattr_setflags() function returns zero on success, and EINVAL on failure due to invalid flag specified.
