Function

GLib-2.0GLibfdwalk_set_cloexecSince 2.80

  • Mark every file descriptor equal to or greater than lowfd to be closed at the next execve() or similar, as if via the FD_CLOEXEC flag.

    Typically lowfd will be 3, to leave standard input, standard output and standard error open after exec.

    This is the same as Linux close_range (lowfd, ~0U, CLOSE_RANGE_CLOEXEC), but portable to other OSs and to older versions of Linux.

    This function is async-signal safe, making it safe to call from a signal handler or a GLib.SpawnChildSetupFunc, as long as lowfd is non-negative. See signal(7) and signal-safety(7) for more details.

    Parameters

    • lowfd: number

      Minimum fd to act on, which must be non-negative

    Returns number

    0 on success, -1 with errno set on error
