PROLOG
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the correspond-
ing 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 asso-
ciated 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.
