ENOENT error occurs while issueing execlp command

Code:

/************************************************************************
*
* TEST NAME: setrlimitd_su.c
*
* PURPOSE: To verify the soft (rlim_cur) and hard (rlim_max) limit
* of process RLIMIT_DATA resources correctly inherited by
* the exec() system call.
*
* RESULT: function call should pass (exit 0) otherwise exit with
* EWRONGLIM for incorrect limit (check d.txt for errors).
*
* COMMENTS: Test setup is similarly to the original setrlimit_su.c.
* The algorithm is formulated based upon the defects found
* by the VSU standard tests. It exec'es ./dlim prog file.

Hi,

I am getting error at execlp command.Error is ENOENT.For understanding the codeflow copied entire code.

Below is the output for the above code..

Test: Lower cur, max RLIMIT_DATA by 1, then call exec
return valu is -1
===============================
| Begin test with RLIMIT_DATA |
===============================
Setting original setrlimit org_cur=0x100000000 org_max=0x100000000
Setting new lowered setrlimit cur=0xffffffff max=0xffffffff
After new setrlimit, getrlimit returned cur=0xffffffff max=0xffffffff
Calling exec to test for setrlimit of RLIMIT_DATA
cur=0xffffffff max=0xffffffff)
ERROR: execlp(./dlim) failed: No such file or directory
errno = 2
ERROR: after exec'ed
Original RLIMIT_DATA values:
----------------------------
dlim.rlim_cur = 0x100000000
dlim.rlim_max = 0x100000000


Please let me know what is the issue here..
Looks like dlim executable is not available..

Thanks in Advance,
Mansa

ENOENT means one of:
1. the file does not exist in the path you specify
2. one of the components of the path you specify does not exist

I would consider NOT using a relative path to dlim like you just did. Create a full file specification -- /my/directory/delim
