您需要了解 fork 和 execv 如何协同工作。
- fork() 复制当前进程,将 0 返回给子进程,将 childpid 返回给父进程
- fork() 可能会失败,并在失败时返回 -1,检查一下
- execv() 用新进程替换重复的父进程
- 典型的 fork/exec 配对用新进程替换子进程
- 通常你会分叉多个孩子,并希望他们同时运行,
- 但是,你要求他们连续跑,就是一个接一个
- 因此,您需要等待第一个完成,然后再开始第二个
- 因此您需要使用 wait() 的一些变体,下面的示例使用 waitpid() 来等待特定的孩子
您需要 stdlib 退出(以防 execv 失败)和 errno 以打印原因,
//I'm trying to run two executables consecutively using this c code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <errno.h>
您可能想检查您的孩子退出的原因(核心转储、信号、正常退出),因此我添加了此功能,
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
//WIFEXITED(status) returns true if the child terminated normally, that is, by calling exit(3) or _exit(2), or by returning from main().
//WEXITSTATUS(status) returns the exit status of the child. This consists of the least significant 8 bits of the status argument that the child specified in a call to exit(3) or _exit(2) or as the argument for a return statement in main(). This macro should only be employed if WIFEXITED returned true.
//WIFSIGNALED(status) returns true if the child process was terminated by a signal.
//WTERMSIG(status) returns the number of the signal that caused the child process to terminate. This macro should only be employed if WIFSIGNALED returned true.
//WCOREDUMP(status) returns true if the child produced a core dump. This macro should only be employed if WIFSIGNALED returned true. This macro is not specified in POSIX.1-2001 and is not available on some UNIX implementations (e.g., AIX, SunOS). Only use this enclosed in #ifdef WCOREDUMP ... #endif.
//WIFSTOPPED(status) returns true if the child process was stopped by delivery of a signal; this is only possible if the call was done using WUNTRACED or when the child is being traced (see ptrace(2)).
//WSTOPSIG(status) returns the number of the signal which caused the child to stop. This macro should only be employed if WIFSTOPPED returned true.
//WIFCONTINUED(status) (since Linux 2.6.10) returns true if the child process was resumed by delivery of SIGCONT.
