execve

execve(proc, path, argv?, env?): Promise<void>

Defined in: src/fs/exec.ts:102

Replace what proc is running with path.

A new image means a new thread: the old one is torn down and the program is loaded on a fresh one, which is as close to what Linux does as there is here. This comes back once the program is loaded, not once it is done, so wait on Process.exited for that.

Parameters

proc

Process

path

string

argv?

string[] = ...

env?

Record<string, string> = proc.env

Returns

Promise<void>
