NAME
posix_spawnattr_setspecialport_np posix_spawnattr_setexceptionports_np -- set special ports on a posix_spawnattr_t SYNOPSIS
#include <spawn.h> int posix_spawnattr_setspecialport_np(posix_spawnattr_t *attr, mach_port_t new_port, int which); int posix_spawnattr_setexceptionports_np(posix_spawnattr_t *attr, exception_mask_t mask, mach_port_t new_port, exception_behavior_t behavior, thread_state_flavor_t flavor); IMPORTANT
These functions represent an Apple extension to posix_spawn(2) and posix_spawnp(2), and as such should not be used by programs intending their code to be portable to other platforms. DESCRIPTION
The posix_spawnattr_setspecialport_np() function sets a new value for a Mach special port into the value referenced by attr to the port ref- erenced by new_port for a port value of which, as if the new process had called task_set_special_port(). The posix_spawnattr_setexceptionports_np() function sets the Mach port to new_port for a number of exception ports represented by the bit- field mask, and sets the new default behavior and default flavor, as if the new process had called task_set_exception_ports(). RETURN VALUES
On success, these functions return 0; on failure they return an error number from <errno.h>. ERRORS
These functions may fail if: [EINVAL] The value specified by attr is invalid. [EINVAL] The value of attr is invalid. [ENOMEM] Insufficient resources exist to set the ports. SEE ALSO

NAME
posix_spawnattr_setbinpref_np posix_spawnattr_getbinpref_np -- set or get the spawn-binpref attribute on a posix_spawnattr_t SYNOPSIS
#include <spawn.h> int posix_spawnattr_setbinpref_np(posix_spawnattr_t *restrict attr, size_t count, cpu_type_t *pref, size_t *restrict ocount); int posix_spawnattr_getbinpref_np(const posix_spawnattr_t *restrict attr, size_t count, cpu_type_t *pref, size_t * restrict ocount); IMPORTANT
These functions represent an Apple extension to posix_spawn(2) and posix_spawnp(2), and as such should not be used by programs intending their code to be portable to other platforms. DESCRIPTION
The posix_spawnattr_setbinpref_np() function sets the universal binary preferences for the spawn attribute value referenced by attr from the memory containing the cpu_type_t referenced by pref with a size of count elements; the actual number of elements that are set in the attribute is returned in ocount. When spawn(2) or spawnp(2) is subsequently invoked on a Universal binary with the posix_spawnattr_t, the elements which were set will be used, in the order they were set, to select the first element in the list which matches any cpu_type_t of those available in the Universal binary. If there is no match, then the attempt to create the child process will fail with the error EBADARCH. If the cpu_type_t CPU_TYPE_ANY is the last element in the list, then rather than returning EBADARCH on no match, the system will instead fall back to the stan- dard Universal binary grading preference order. The posix_spawnattr_getbinpref_np() function gets the universal binary preferences for the spawn attribute value referenced by attr into the memory containing the cpu_type_t referenced by pref with a prereserved size of count elements; the actual number of elements that are copied from the attribute is returned in ocount. RETURN VALUES
On success, these functions return 0; on failure they return an error number from <errno.h> and modify the value of ocount. Additionally, if successful, posix_spawnattr_getbinpref_np() will modify the contents of the pref array with the current attribute values. ERRORS
These functions may fail if: [EINVAL] The value specified by attr is invalid. [EINVAL] The value of attr is invalid. SEE ALSO
