NAME

       posix_spawnattr_destroy, posix_spawnattr_init - destroy and initialize spawn attributes object

SYNOPSIS

       #include <spawn.h>

       int posix_spawnattr_destroy(posix_spawnattr_t *attr);

       int posix_spawnattr_init(posix_spawnattr_t *attr);

DESCRIPTION

       The  posix_spawnattr_destroy()  function  destroys a spawn attributes object. A destroyed attr attributes object can be reinitialized using
       posix_spawnattr_init(). The results of otherwise referencing the object after it has been destroyed are undefined.  An  implementation  can
       cause posix_spawnattr_destroy() to set the object referenced by attr to an invalid value.

       The  posix_spawnattr_init() function initializes a spawn attributes object attr with the default value for all of the individual attributes
       used by the implementation. Results are undefined if posix_spawnattr_init() is called specifying an  already  initialized  attr	attributes
       object.

       A  spawn attributes object is of type posix_spawnattr_t (defined in <spawn.h>) and is used to specify the inheritance of process attributes
       across a spawn operation.

       No attributes other than those defined by IEEE Std 1003.1-200x are provided.

       The resulting spawn attributes object (possibly modified by setting individual attribute  values),  is  used  to  modify  the  behavior	of
       posix_spawn(3C)	or  posix_spawnp(3C).  After  a  spawn	attributes  object  has been used to spawn a process by a call to posix_spawn() or
       posix_spawnp(), any function affecting the attributes object (including destruction) will not affect any process that has been  spawned	in
       this way.

RETURN VALUES

       Upon  successful completion, posix_spawnattr_destroy() and posix_spawnattr_init() return 0. Otherwise, an error number is returned to indi-
       cate the error.

ERRORS

       The posix_spawnattr_init() function will fail if:

       ENOMEM	 Insufficient memory exists to initialize the spawn attributes object.

       The posix_spawnattr_destroy() function may fail if:

       EINVAL	 The value specified by attr is invalid.
