PROLOG

This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.  

NAME

posix_spawn_file_actions_adddup2 - add dup2 action to spawn file actions object (ADVANCED REALTIME)  

SYNOPSIS

#include <spawn.h>

int posix_spawn_file_actions_adddup2(posix_spawn_file_actions_t *
       file_actions, int fildes, int newfildes);
 

DESCRIPTION

The posix_spawn_file_actions_adddup2() function shall add a dup2() action to the object referenced by file_actions that shall cause the file descriptor fildes to be duplicated as newfildes (as if dup2( fildes, newfildes) had been called) when a new process is spawned using this file actions object.

A spawn file actions object is as defined in posix_spawn_file_actions_addclose() .  

RETURN VALUE

Upon successful completion, the posix_spawn_file_actions_adddup2() function shall return zero; otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the error.  

ERRORS

The posix_spawn_file_actions_adddup2() function shall fail if:

EBADF
The value specified by fildes or newfildes is negative or greater than or equal to {OPEN_MAX}.
ENOMEM
Insufficient memory exists to add to the spawn file actions object.

The posix_spawn_file_actions_adddup2() function may fail if:

EINVAL
The value specified by file_actions is invalid.

It shall not be considered an error for the fildes argument passed to the posix_spawn_file_actions_adddup2() function to specify a file descriptor for which the specified operation could not be performed at the time of the call. Any such error will be detected when the associated file actions object is later used during a posix_spawn() or posix_spawnp() operation.

The following sections are informative.  

EXAMPLES

None.  

APPLICATION USAGE

The posix_spawn_file_actions_adddup2() function is part of the Spawn option and need not be provided on all implementations.  

RATIONALE

Refer to the RATIONALE in posix_spawn_file_actions_addclose() .  

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

None.
