Function nix::unistd::execve [−][src]
pub fn execve<SA: AsRef<CStr>, SE: AsRef<CStr>>(
path: &CStr,
args: &[SA],
env: &[SE]
) -> Result<Infallible>
Expand description
Replace the current process image with a new one (see execve(2)).
The execve system call allows for another process to be “called” which will replace the current process image. That is, this process becomes the new command that is run. On success, this function will not return. Instead, the new program will run until it exits.
::nix::unistd::execv
and ::nix::unistd::execve
take as arguments a slice
of ::std::ffi::CString
s for args
and env
(for execve
). Each element
in the args
list is an argument to the new process. Each element in the
env
list should be a string in the form “key=value”.
