The following reply was made to PR kern/33738; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Marc Olzheim <marcolz@stack.nl> To: Garrett Wollman <wollman@khavrinen.lcs.mit.edu> Cc: Marc Olzheim <marcolz@stack.nl>, freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.ORG, Serge van den Boom <svdb@stack.nl> Subject: Re: kern/33738: [PATCH] empty argv Date: Thu, 10 Jan 2002 21:19:18 +0100 > > execve(argv[1], NULL, bar); > > This, on the other hand, should probably return an error.

The Standard does not require a particular error return for > this case, so any error is permissible; [EFAULT] is probably the best. Is this "the Standard" for execve(), or for argv ? Because alle the execve()-d prog sees _is_ an array of character pointers, because execve() reproduced the information onto the stack.
