execve - execute program
int execve(const char *filename, char *const argv[],
char *const envp[]);
#! interpreter [optional-arg]
For details of the latter case, see "Interpreter scripts" below.
argv is an array of argument strings passed to the new program. envp is an array of strings, conventionally of the form key=value, which are passed as environment to the new program. Both argv and envp must be terminated by a null pointer. The argument vector and environment can be accessed by the called program's main function, when it is defined as:
int main(int argc, char *argv[], char *envp[])
execve() does not return on success, and the text, data, bss, and stack of the calling process are overwritten by that of the program loaded.
If the current program is being ptraced, a SIGTRAP is sent to it after a successful execve().
If the set-user-ID bit is set on the program file pointed to by filename, and the underlying file system is not mounted nosuid (the MS_NOSUID flag for mount(2)), and the calling process is not being ptraced, then the effective user ID of the calling process is changed to that of the owner of the program file. Similarly, when the set-group-ID bit of the program file is set the effective group ID of the calling process is set to the group of the program file.
The effective user ID of the process is copied to the saved set-user-ID; similarly, the effective group ID is copied to the saved set-group-ID. This copying takes place after any effective ID changes that occur because of the set-user-ID and set-group-ID permission bits.
If the executable is an a.out dynamically linked binary executable containing shared-library stubs, the Linux dynamic linker ld.so(8) is called at the start of execution to bring needed shared libraries into memory and link the executable with them.
If the executable is a dynamically linked ELF executable, the interpreter named in the PT_INTERP segment is used to load the needed shared libraries. This interpreter is typically /lib/ld-linux.so.1 for binaries linked with the Linux libc 5, or /lib/ld-linux.so.2 for binaries linked with the glibc 2.
All process attributes are preserved during an execve(), except the following:
The process attributes in the preceding list are all specified in POSIX.1-2001. The following Linux-specific process attributes are also not preserved during an execve():
Note the following further points:
#! interpreter [optional-arg]
The interpreter must be a valid pathname for an executable which is not itself a script. If the filename argument of execve() specifies an interpreter script, then interpreter will be invoked with the following arguments:
interpreter [optional-arg] filename arg...
where arg... is the series of words pointed to by the argv argument of execve().
For portable use, optional-arg should either be absent, or be specified as a single word (i.e., it should not contain white space); see NOTES below.
On Linux prior to kernel 2.6.23, the memory used to store the environment and argument strings was limited to 32 pages (defined by the kernel constant MAX_ARG_PAGES). On architectures with a 4-kB page size, this yields a maximum size of 128 kB.
On kernel 2.6.23 and later, most architectures support a size limit derived from the soft RLIMIT_STACK resource limit (see getrlimit(2)) that is in force at the time of the execve() call. (Architectures with no memory management unit are excepted: they maintain the limit that was in effect before kernel 2.6.23.) This change allows programs to have a much larger argument and/or environment list. For these architectures, the total size is limited to 1/4 of the allowed stack size. (Imposing the 1/4-limit ensures that the new program always has some stack space.) Since Linux 2.6.25, the kernel places a floor of 32 pages on this size limit, so that, even when RLIMIT_STACK is set very low, applications are guaranteed to have at least as much argument and environment space as was provided by Linux 2.6.23 and earlier. (This guarantee was not provided in Linux 2.6.23 and 2.6.24.) Additionally, the limit per string is 32 pages (the kernel constant MAX_ARG_STRLEN), and the maximum number of strings is 0x7FFFFFFF.
Linux ignores the set-user-ID and set-group-ID bits on scripts.
The result of mounting a file system nosuid varies across Linux kernel versions: some will refuse execution of set-user-ID and set-group-ID executables when this would give the user powers she did not have already (and return EPERM), some will just ignore the set-user-ID and set-group-ID bits and exec() successfully.
A maximum line length of 127 characters is allowed for the first line in a #! executable shell script.
The semantics of the optional-arg argument of an interpreter script vary across implementations. On Linux, the entire string following the interpreter name is passed as a single argument to the interpreter, and this string can include white space. However, behavior differs on some other systems. Some systems use the first white space to terminate optional-arg. On some systems, an interpreter script can have multiple arguments, and white spaces in optional-arg are used to delimit the arguments.
On Linux, argv can be specified as NULL, which has the same effect as specifying this argument as a pointer to a list containing a single NULL pointer. Do not take advantage of this misfeature! It is non-standard and non-portable: on most other Unix systems doing this will result in an error (EFAULT).
POSIX.1-2001 says that values returned by sysconf(3) should be invariant over the lifetime of a process. However, since Linux 2.6.23, if the RLIMIT_STACK resource limit changes, then the value reported by _SC_ARG_MAX will also change, to reflect the fact that the limit on space for holding command-line arguments and environment variables has changed.
/* myecho.c */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int j;
for (j = 0; j < argc; j++)
printf("argv[%d]: %s\n", j, argv[j]);
exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}
This program can be used to exec the program named in its command-line argument:
/* execve.c */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <assert.h>
int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
char *newargv[] = { NULL, "hello", "world", NULL };
char *newenviron[] = { NULL };
assert(argc == 2); /* argv[1] identifies
program to exec */
newargv[0] = argv[1];
execve(argv[1], newargv, newenviron);
perror("execve"); /* execve() only returns on error */
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
We can use the second program to exec the first as follows:
$ cc myecho.c -o myecho $ cc execve.c -o execve $ ./execve ./myecho argv[0]: ./myecho argv[1]: hello argv[2]: world
We can also use these programs to demonstrate the use of a script interpreter. To do this we create a script whose "interpreter" is our myecho program:
$ cat > script.sh #! ./myecho script-arg ^D $ chmod +x script.sh
We can then use our program to exec the script:
$ ./execve ./script.sh argv[0]: ./myecho argv[1]: script-arg argv[2]: ./script.sh argv[3]: hello argv[4]: world
