33.Sh NAME
34.Nm posix_spawn_file_actions_init
35.Nm posix_spawn_file_actions_destroy
36.Nd initialize or destroy spawn file actions objects
37.Sh SYNOPSIS
38.Fd #include <spawn.h>
39.Ft int
40.Fo posix_spawn_file_actions_init
41.Fa "posix_spawn_file_actions_t *file_actions"

47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48The
49.Fn posix_spawn_file_actions_init
50function initializes the object referenced by
51.Em file_actions ,
52to an empty set of file actions for subsequent use in a call to
53.Xr posix_spawn 2
54or
55.Xr posix_spawnp 2 .
56A
57.Em posix_spawn_file_actions_t
58object is an opaque type that is used to collect set of file actions
59specified by calls to
60.Xr posix_spawn_file_actions_addclose 3
61and
62.Xr posix_spawn_file_actions_addopen 3
63such that once the spawn operation is complete, the child process will
64have a different set of file descriptors than the parent, in the order
65that the operations were added to the
66.Em posix_spawn_file_actions_t .
67.Pp
68Additionally, any descriptor in the parent not modified by a file action,
69and which has the FD_CLOEXEC flag set, will be closed in the child.
70.Pp
71The
72.Fn posix_spawn_file_actions_destroy
73function destroys the object referenced by
74.Em file_actions
75which was previously intialized by
76.Fn posix_spawn_file_actions_init ,
77returning any resources obtained at the time of initialization to the
78system for subsequent reuse. A
79.Em posix_spawn_file_actions_t
80may be reinitialized after having been destroyed, but
81.Em must not
82be reused after destruction, unless it has been reinitialized.
83.Sh RETURN VALUES
84On success, these functions return 0; on failure they return an error
85number from
86.In errno.h .
87.Sh ERRORS
88These functions will fail and return an error if:
89.Bl -tag -width Er
90.\" ==========
91.It Bq Er ENOMEM
92Insufficient resources to initialize the
93.Fa posix_spawn_file_actions_t
94object.
95.\" ==========
96.It Bq Er EINVAL
97The
98.Fa posix_spawn_file_actions_t
99being destroyed is invalid.
