Re: Issue with fcntl FD_CLOEXEC and execve

Hello,

Thanks a lot for the tip; I changed my fcntl call to the following: 
"fcntl(myfd, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC)" and that fixed the problem.

I can now run and control external processes using the same API across 
most platforms!

I wish the man pages of fcntl could have been clearer about how you were 
supposed to apply the FD_CLOEXEC flag...
