_execlp, _wexeclp

Loads and executes new child processes.

intptr_t _execlp( 
   const char *cmdname,
   const char *arg0,
   ... const char *argn,
   NULL 
);
intptr_t _wexeclp( 
   const wchar_t *cmdname,
   const wchar_t *arg0,
   ... const wchar_t *argn,
   NULL 
);

Parameters

  • cmdname
    Path of the file to execute.

  • arg0, ...argn
    List of pointers to parameters.

Return Value

If successful, these functions do not return to the calling process. A return value of –1 indicates an error, in which case the errno global variable is set.

errno value

Description

E2BIG

The space required for the arguments and environment settings exceeds 32 KB.

EACCES

The specified file has a locking or sharing violation.

EINVAL

Invalid parameter.

EMFILE

Too many files open (the specified file must be opened to determine whether it is executable).

ENOENT

The file or path not found.

ENOEXEC

The specified file is not executable or has an invalid executable-file format.

ENOMEM

Not enough memory is available to execute the new process; the available memory has been corrupted; or an invalid block exists, indicating that the calling process was not allocated properly.

For more information about these and other return codes, see _doserrno, errno, _sys_errlist, and _sys_nerr.

Remarks

Each of these functions loads and executes a new process, passing each command-line argument as a separate parameter and using the PATH environment variable to find the file to execute.

The _execlp functions validate their parameters. If cmdname or arg0 is a null pointer or empty string, these functions invoke the invalid parameter handler as described in Parameter Validation. If execution is allowed to continue, these functions set errno to EINVAL and return -1. No new process is launched.
