Process Creation and Execution Manager
|
|
######################################
|
|
|
|
Introduction
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
The process creation and execution manager provides the
|
|
functionality associated with the creation and termination
|
|
of processes.
|
|
|
|
The directives provided by the process creation and execution manager are:
|
|
|
|
- ``fork`` - Create a Process
|
|
|
|
- ``execl`` - Execute a File
|
|
|
|
- ``execv`` - Execute a File
|
|
|
|
- ``execle`` - Execute a File
|
|
|
|
- ``execve`` - Execute a File
|
|
|
|
- ``execlp`` - Execute a File
|
|
|
|
- ``execvp`` - Execute a File
|
|
|
|
- ``pthread_atfork`` - Register Fork Handlers
|
|
|
|
- ``wait`` - Wait for Process Termination
|
|
|
|
- ``waitpid`` - Wait for Process Termination
|
|
|
|
- ``_exit`` - Terminate a Process
|
|
|
|
Background
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
POSIX process functionality can not be completely
|
|
supported by RTEMS. This is because RTEMS provides no memory
|
|
protection and implements a *single process, multi-threaded
|
|
execution model*. In this light, RTEMS provides none of the
|
|
routines that are associated with the creation of new processes.
|
|
However, since the entire RTEMS application (e.g. executable)
|
|
is logically a single POSIX process, RTEMS is able to provide
|
|
implementations of many operations on processes. The rule of
|
|
thumb is that those routines provide a meaningful result.
|
|
For example, ``getpid()`` returns the node number.
|
|
|
|
Operations
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
The only functionality method defined by this manager which is
|
|
supported by RTEMS is the ``_exit`` service. The
|
|
implementation of ``_exit`` shuts the application down and
|
|
is equivalent to invoking either ``exit`` or``rtems_shutdown_executive``.
|
|
|
|
Directives
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
This section details the process creation and execution manager's directives.
|
|
A subsection is dedicated to each of this manager's directives
|
|
and describes the calling sequence, related constants, usage,
|
|
