# 18b914f0 15-Nov-2021 christos <christos@NetBSD.org>

Add man pages for posix_spawn_file_actions_add{f,}chdir from piyush


# f525fbd1 12-Jun-2019 wiz <wiz@NetBSD.org>

Fix typo.


# 212f28ad 12-Jun-2019 kamil <kamil@NetBSD.org>

Rephrase sentence about vfork+exec in posix_spawn(3)

Try to make it less confusing.

Requested by <joerg>


# a2bdb35e 12-Jun-2019 kamil <kamil@NetBSD.org>

Document that posix_spawn(3) uses a dedicated syscall

vfork+exec operations are done in one go. This is important information for
programs that wrap posix_spawn(3).


# afa9490a 11-Jun-2019 wiz <wiz@NetBSD.org>

Quote the name "Ed" to avoid confusion with the macro "Ed".


# 93e6f7a3 11-Jun-2019 kamil <kamil@NetBSD.org>

Correct outdated note that posix_spawn(3) is implemented with vfork(2)

The original FreeBSD libc code uses vfork(2), it's not the case for NetBSD
as there is a dedicated kernel syscall.


# 08c720a8 02-Feb-2014 wiz <wiz@NetBSD.org>

Bump date for previous.


# 2934fa70 02-Feb-2014 martin <martin@NetBSD.org>

Limit the amount of kernel memory a posix_spawn syscall can use (for handling
the file action list) by limiting the maximum number of file actions to
twice the current file descriptor limit.
Fix a fe

Limit the amount of kernel memory a posix_spawn syscall can use (for handling
the file action list) by limiting the maximum number of file actions to
twice the current file descriptor limit.
Fix a few bugs in the support functions and document the new limit.
From Maxime Villard.
