NAME

posix_spawnattr_getflags, posix_spawnattr_setflags - get and set the spawn-flags attribute of a spawn attributes object (ADVANCED REALTIME)

SYNOPSIS

`[SPN] #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); `

DESCRIPTION

The posix_spawnattr_getflags() function shall obtain the value of the spawn-flags attribute from the attributes object referenced by attr.

The posix_spawnattr_setflags() function shall set 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:

POSIX_SPAWN_RESETIDS
POSIX_SPAWN_SETPGROUP
POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGDEF
POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGMASK
[PS]
POSIX_SPAWN_SETSCHEDPARAM
POSIX_SPAWN_SETSCHEDULER

These flags are defined in <spawn.h>. The default value of this attribute shall be as if no flags were set.

RETURN VALUE

Upon successful completion, posix_spawnattr_getflags() shall return zero and store the value of the _spawn-flags_attribute of attr into the object referenced by the flags parameter; otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the error.

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

ERRORS

These functions may fail if:

[EINVAL]

The value specified by attr is invalid.

The posix_spawnattr_setflags() function may fail if:

[EINVAL]

The value of the attribute being set is not valid.

RATIONALE

None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

None.
