tdm_spawn(2) OSS System Calls Reference Manual
[ELOOP] Too many symbolic links were encountered in pathname resolution.
[EMFILE] The maximum number of files are open. The process attempted to open more
than the maximum number of file descriptors allowed for the process. One of
these conditions might exist:
• The maximum value for fd_count has been exceeded.
• The process file segment (PFS) of the child process is smaller than that
of the parent process.
[ENAMETOOLONG]
One of these is too long:
• The pathname pointed to by the path parameter
• A component of the pathname pointed to by the path parameter
• The intermediate result of pathname resolution when a symbolic link is
part of the pathname pointed to by the path parameter
The pathconf( ) function can be called to obtain the applicable limits.
[ENOCPU] The selected processor does not exist, or the selected processor is down or other-
wise unavailable for process creation.
[ENODEV] The system cannot find the fileset containing the process image file.
[ENOENT] One of these conditions exists:
• One or more components of the new process image file’s pathname do
not exist.
• The path parameter points to an empty string.
[ENOEXEC] The new process image file has the appropriate access permissions and is in the
OSS name space, but it is neither in the correct binary executable format nor a
valid executable text file.
[ENOMEM] Required resources are not available. Subsequent calls to the same function will
not succeed for the same reason.
Possible causes of this error include insufficient primary memory (stack, globals,
or heap) for the new process.
[ENOTDIR] A component of the path prefix of the new process image file is not a directory.
[ENOTOSS] The calling process is not an OSS process. The tdm_spawn() function cannot
be used from the Guardian environment.
[EPERM] The value of the inherit->pgroup field does not match any process group ID in
the same session as the calling process.
[ETXTBSY] The new process image file is a pure procedure (shared text) file that is currently
open for writing by some process.
