POSIX_SPAWNATTR_GETFLAGS(3)                           Library Functions Manual

NAME
     posix_spawnattr_getflags, posix_spawnattr_setflags - get and set the
     spawn-flags attribute of a spawn attributes object

LIBRARY
     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <spawn.h>

     int
     posix_spawnattr_getflags(const posix_spawnattr_t *restrict attr,
         short *restrict flags);

     int
     posix_spawnattr_setflags(posix_spawnattr_t *attr, short flags);

DESCRIPTION
     The posix_spawnattr_getflags() function obtains the value of the spawn-
     flags attribute from the attributes object referenced by attr.

     The posix_spawnattr_setflags() function sets the spawn-flags attribute in
     an initialized attributes object referenced by attr.

     The spawn-flags attribute is used to indicate which process attributes
     are to be changed in the new process image when invoking posix_spawn() or
     posix_spawnp().  It is the bitwise-inclusive OR of zero or more of the
     following flags (see posix_spawn()):

           POSIX_SPAWN_RESETIDS

           POSIX_SPAWN_SETPGROUP

           POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGDEF

           POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGMASK

           POSIX_SPAWN_SETSCHEDPARAM

           POSIX_SPAWN_SETSCHEDULER

     These flags are defined in <spawn.h>.  The default value of this
     attribute is as if no flags were set.

RETURN VALUES
     The posix_spawnattr_getflags() and posix_spawnattr_setflags() functions
     return zero.

SEE ALSO
     posix_spawn(3), posix_spawnattr_destroy(3), posix_spawnattr_init(3),
     posix_spawnp(3)

STANDARDS
     The posix_spawnattr_getflags() and posix_spawnattr_setflags() functions
     conform to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 ("POSIX.1").

HISTORY
     The posix_spawnattr_getflags() and posix_spawnattr_setflags() functions
     first appeared in FreeBSD 8.0 and imported for NetBSD 6.0.
