Module `Unix_extended`

Extensions to Core.Unix.

fork_exec prog args ~stdin ~stdout ~stderr ~setuid ~setgid forks a new process that executes the program in file prog, with arguments args. The pid of the new process is returned immediately; the new process executes concurrently with the current process.

The function raises EPERM if when using set{gid,uid} and the user id is not 0.

The standard input and outputs of the new process are connected to the descriptors stdin, stdout and stderr.

The close_on_exec flag is cleared from stderr stdout and stdin so it's safe to pass in fds with close_on_exec set.

parameter path_lookup
if true than we use PATH to find the process to exec. @env specifies the environment the process runs in

ERRORS: Unix.unix_error. This function should not raise EINTR; it will restart itself automatically.

RATIONAL: setuid and setgid do not do a full id drop (e.g.: they save the id in saved id) when the user does not have the privileges required to setuid to anyone.

By default all file descriptors should be set_closexec ASAP after being open to avoid being captured in parallel execution of fork_exec; resetting the closexec flag on the forked flag is a cleaner and more thread safe approach.

BUGS: The capabilities for setuid in linux are not tied to the uid 0 (man 7 capabilities). It is still fair to assume that under most system this capability is there IFF uid == 0. A more fine grain permissionning approach would make this function non-portable and be hard to implement in an async-signal-way.

Because this function keeps the lock for most of its lifespan and restarts automatically on EINTR it might prevent the OCaml signal handlers to run in that thread.
