(gdb) disassemble execve Dump of assembler code for function _execve: 0x80481d8 <_execve>: leal 0x3b,%eax 0x80481de <_execve+6>: int $0x80 0x80481e0 <_execve+8>: jb 0x80481d0 <atexit+108> 0x80481e2 <_execve+10>: ret 0x80481e3 <_execve+11>: nop End of assembler dump. In this particular case, the jb reference is to cerror for setting errno.
