POSIX_SPAWNP(3POSIX)

💖 posix_spawnp — the tea ☕

okay bestie, so this page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual (that's the whole manual name, yes, we're fancy like that ✨). lowkey important heads-up before we go any further: the Linux implementation of this interface may differ — so like, consult the corresponding Linux manual page for details on Linux behavior, okay? 🙈 and plot twist, the interface may not be implemented on Linux at all. no cap. just check first, bestie.

🌸 PROLOG 🌸

this manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. the Linux implementation of this interface may differ — so consult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior. or, alternatively, the interface may simply not be implemented on Linux. either way, read the room (and the Linux man page) before you go assuming things 💅

like, it spawns a process. that's the whole vibe. and yes it's tagged ADVANCED REALTIME which honestly is giving main character energy 👑

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <spawn.h>

int posix_spawnp(pid_t *restrict pid, const char *restrict file,
    const posix_spawn_file_actions_t *file_actions,
    const posix_spawnattr_t *restrict attrp,
    char *const argv[restrict], char *const envp[restrict]);

look at all those restrict keywords. she's detail-oriented. obsessed 💜
