 | |
| 
 | |
| <h3>Name</h3>
 | |
| <p>
 | |
| bigexec - test exec with large argv blocks
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <h3>Synopsis</h3>
 | |
| <p>
 | |
| <tt>/testbin/bigexec</tt>
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <h3>Description</h3>
 | |
| <p>
 | |
| <tt>bigexec</tt> tests a number of different possible ways to call
 | |
| <A HREF=../syscall/execv.html>execv</A> with large or largish argv
 | |
| blocks.
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>
 | |
| Note that <tt>bigexec</tt> works by execing itself with various
 | |
| arguments.
 | |
| To start the test, run it without arguments.
 | |
| Passing it other arguments will likely confuse it.
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <h3>Requirements</h3>
 | |
| <p>
 | |
| <tt>bigexec</tt> uses the following system calls:
 | |
| <ul>
 | |
| <li><A HREF=../syscall/write.html>write</A></li>
 | |
| <li><A HREF=../syscall/execv.html>execv</A></li>
 | |
| <li><A HREF=../syscall/_exit.html>_exit</A></li>
 | |
| </ul>
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>
 | |
| <tt>bigexec</tt> should work once you have implemented the basic
 | |
| system calls, including of course execv.
 | |
| (But it depends on little other than execv, making it useful in the
 | |
| early stages.)
