This document is a Mac OS X manual page. Manual pages are a command-line technology for providing documentation. You can view these manual pages locally using the man(1) command. These manual pages come from many different sources, and thus, have a variety of writing styles. For more information about the manual page format, see the manual page for manpages(5). |
POSIX_SPAWNATTR_SETBI... BSD Library Functions Manual POSIX_SPAWNATTR_SETBI... NAME posix_spawnattr_setbinpref_np posix_spawnattr_getbinpref_np -- set or get the spawn-binpref attribute on a posix_spawnattr_t SYNOPSIS #include <spawn.h> int posix_spawnattr_setbinpref_np(posix_spawnattr_t *restrict attr, size_t count, cpu_type_t *pref, size_t *restrict ocount); int posix_spawnattr_getbinpref_np(const posix_spawnattr_t *restrict attr, size_t count, cpu_type_t *pref, size_t * restrict ocount); IMPORTANT These functions represent an Apple extension to posix_spawn(2) and posix_spawnp(2), and as such should not be used by programs intending their code to be portable to other platforms. DESCRIPTION The posix_spawnattr_setbinpref_np() function sets the universal binary preferences for the spawn attribute value referenced by attr from the memory containing the cpu_type_t referenced by pref with a size of count elements; the actual number of elements that are set in the attribute is returned in ocount. When spawn(2) or spawnp(2) is subsequently invoked on a Universal binary with the posix_spawnattr_t, the elements which were set will be used, in the order they were set, to select the first element in the list which matches any cpu_type_t of those available in the Universal binary. If there is no match, then the attempt to create the child process will fail with the error EBADARCH. If the cpu_type_t CPU_TYPE_ANY is the last ele-ment element ment in the list, then rather than returning EBADARCH on no match, the system will instead fall back to the standard Universal binary grading preference order. The posix_spawnattr_getbinpref_np() function gets the universal binary preferences for the spawn attribute value referenced by attr into the memory containing the cpu_type_t referenced by pref with a prereserved size of count elements; the actual number of elements that are copied from the attribute is returned in ocount. RETURN VALUES On success, these functions return 0; on failure they return an error number from <errno.h> and modify the value of ocount. Additionally, if successful, posix_spawnattr_getbinpref_np() will modify the contents of the pref array with the current attribute values. ERRORS These functions may fail if: [EINVAL] The value specified by attr is invalid. [EINVAL] The value of attr is invalid.
