34.Nm posix_spawnattr_setflags
35.Nm posix_spawnattr_getflags
36.Nd get or set flags on a
37.Em posix_spawnattr_t
38.Sh SYNOPSIS
39.Fd #include <spawn.h>

50.Sh DESCRIPTION
51The
52.Fn posix_spawnattr_setflags
53function sets the
54.Fa flags
55on the attributes object referenced by
56.Fa attr .
57.Pp
58The
59.Fn posix_spawnattr_getflags
60function retrieves the
61.Fa flags
62on the attributes object referenced by
63.Fa attr .
64.Pp
65The argument
66.Fa flags
67is either 0 or a logical OR of one or more of the following flags:
68.Bl -tag -width POSIX_SPAWN_START_SUSPENDED
69.It Dv POSIX_SPAWN_RESETIDS
70If this bit is set, the child process will inherit the real (rather than the effective) user and
71group ID of the parent process. NOTE: This flag has no effect when the set-group bit is set on the
72process image being spawned.
73.It Dv POSIX_SPAWN_SETPGROUP
74If this bit is not set, then the child process inherits the parent
75process group; if it is set, then the child process will behave as if the
76.Xr setpgid 2
77function had been called with a
78.Fa pid
79parameter of 0 and a
80.Fa pgid
81parameter equal to the value of the spawn-pgroup value of the
82.Em posix_spawnattr_t ,
83as set by
84.Xr posix_spawnattr_setpgroup 3
85.It Dv POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGDEF
86Signals set to either be caught or to the default action in the
87parent process will also be set to the default action in the child
88process. Signals set to be ignored in the parent process will be
89ignored in the child. However, if this bit is set, then signals in
90the
91.Em spawn-sigdefault
92value of the
93.Em posix_spawnattr_t ,
94as set by
95.Xr posix_spawnattr_setsigdefault 3
96which are caught or ignored in the parent will instead be reset to
97their default actions in the child.
98.It Dv POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGMASK
99If this bit is set, then the initial signal mask of the child process will
100be set to the
101.Em spawn-sigmask
102value of the
103.Em posix_spawnattr_t ,
104as set by
105.Xr posix_spawnattr_setsigmask 3 .
106.It Dv POSIX_SPAWN_SETEXEC
107.Em Apple Extension :
108If this bit is set, rather than returning to the caller,
109.Xr posix_spawn 2
110and
111.Xr posix_spawnp 2
112will behave as a more featureful
113.Xr execve 2 .
114.It Dv POSIX_SPAWN_START_SUSPENDED
115.Em Apple Extension :
116If this bit is set, then the child process will be created as if it immediately
117received a
118.Li SIGSTOP
119signal, permitting debuggers, profilers, and other programs to manipulate the
120process before it begins execution in user space. This permits, for example,
121obtaining exact instruction counts, or debugging very early in
122.Xr dyld 1 .
123To resume the child process, it must be sent a
124.Li SIGCONT
125signal.
126.It Dv POSIX_SPAWN_CLOEXEC_DEFAULT
127.Em Apple Extension :
128If this bit is set, then only file descriptors explicitly described by the
129.Fa file_actions
130argument are available in the spawned process; all of the other file descriptors
131are automatically closed in the spawned process.
132.El
133.Sh RETURN VALUES
134On success, these functions return 0; on failure they return an error number
135from
136.In errno.h .
137The
138.Fn posix_spawnattr_getflags
139function additionally, upon successful completion, makes the value pointed to by
140the
141.Fa flags
142argument equal to the
143.Em spawn-flags
144attribute of the
145.Em posix_spawnattr_t .
146.Sh ERRORS
147These functions may fail if:
148.Bl -tag -width Er
149.\" ==========
150.It Bq Er EINVAL
151The value specified by
152.Fa attr
153is invalid.
154.\" ==========
155.It Bq Er EINVAL
156The value of
157.Fa attr
158is invalid.
