.SH NAME
posix_spawnattr_getflags, posix_spawnattr_setflags \- get and set the
spawn\-flags attribute of a spawn attributes object
(\fBADVANCED REALTIME\fP)

.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
The \fIposix_spawnattr_getflags\fP() function shall obtain the value
of the \fIspawn-flags\fP attribute from the attributes
object referenced by \fIattr\fP.
.LP
The \fIposix_spawnattr_setflags\fP() function shall set the \fIspawn-flags\fP
attribute in an initialized attributes object
referenced by \fIattr\fP.
.LP
The \fIspawn-flags\fP attribute is used to indicate which process
attributes are to be changed in the new process image when
invoking \fIposix_spawn\fP() or \fIposix_spawnp\fP(). It is the bitwise-inclusive
OR of zero or more of the following
flags:
.LP
.sp
POSIX_SPAWN_RESETIDS
.br
POSIX_SPAWN_SETPGROUP
.br
POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGDEF
.br
POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGMASK
.br
.sp
POSIX_SPAWN_SETSCHEDPARAM
.br
POSIX_SPAWN_SETSCHEDULER
.br
.sp
.LP
These flags are defined in \fI<spawn.h>\fP. The default value of this
attribute
shall be as if no flags were set.
.SH RETURN VALUE
.LP
Upon successful completion, \fIposix_spawnattr_getflags\fP() shall
return zero and store the value of the \fIspawn-flags\fP
attribute of \fIattr\fP into the object referenced by the \fIflags\fP
parameter; otherwise, an error number shall be returned to
indicate the error.
.LP
Upon successful completion, \fIposix_spawnattr_setflags\fP() shall
return zero; otherwise, an error number shall be returned to
indicate the error.
.SH ERRORS
.LP
These functions may fail if:
.TP 7
.B EINVAL
The value specified by \fIattr\fP is invalid.
.sp
.LP
The \fIposix_spawnattr_setflags\fP() function may fail if:
.TP 7
.B EINVAL
The value of the attribute being set is not valid.
.sp
.LP

.SH EXAMPLES
.LP
None.
.SH APPLICATION USAGE
.LP
These functions are part of the Spawn option and need not be provided
on all implementations.
.SH RATIONALE
.LP
None.
.SH FUTURE DIRECTIONS
.LP
None.
