  33 .Sh NAME
  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>
  40 .Ft int
  41 .Fo posix_spawnattr_setflags
  42 .Fa "posix_spawnattr_t *attr"
  43 .Fa "short flags"

  45 .Ft int

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