SPAWNV(3)

💖 SPAWNV(3) 💖

okay so this one is from Schily´s LIBRARY FUNCTIONS, and it’s giving “call a command with exactly the arguments you picked” energy ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

spawnv() — calls a command with specified arguments, periodt 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

       int spawnv(Sin,Sout,Serr,ArgC,ArgV)
            FILE *Sin, *Sout, *Serr;
            int ArgC;
            char *ArgV[];

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay bestie, so spawnv() causes the command named in ArgV[0] to be called with the given arguments. like, the command is literally ArgV[0] — that’s the main character right there 👑

Functionally this subroutine is the same as spawnl(), differing only in the form of the argument. same vibe, different argument shape, iykyk 💫

---

🔥 RETURNS 🔥

Returns 0 when successful. Otherwise, returns a non-zero value which could be:

• an error code from fork() or fexecl().
• the argument to exit() in the Command_name.
• 1, if stopped by a control C (^C).
• 2, if killed by another process.
• 4, if suspended by any fault, raise, control Y ^Y or by another process. (In this case, spawnv() kills the suspended process.)

ngl that 4 case is doing the most 😭 but it’s all right there, no cap.

🎀 NOTES 🎀

none 💀 — yes, really, that’s the entire note, bestie. iconic minimalism fr fr.
