Open System Services System Calls Reference Manual (G06.29+, H06.08+, J06.03+)

System Functions (t) tdm_spawnp(2)
• The new process image file is a binary executable file with invalid attri-
butes.
[EIO] Some physical input or output error has occurred. Either a file cannot be opened
because of an input or output error or data has been lost during an input or output
transfer. This value is used only for errors on the object file of a loaded program
or library, or during data transfer with a Guardian environment home terminal.
For systems running J06.07 and later J-series RVUs or H06.18 or later H-series
RVUs, this error can also occur when the OSS file system is out of memory and
one or more open files cannot be propagated from the parent process to the child
process. In this case, if you are running a program from the shell with the shell
reporting any errors, you might see an error like this:
/bin/-sh: /bin/ps: tdm_execve(): failed with unexpected error pr_errno=(4005)
pr_TPCerror=(110) pr_TPCdetail=(36)
where:
• pr_errno is the [EIO] error
• pr_TPCerror is the Guardian PROCESS_LAUNCH_ or
PROCESS_CREATE_ error.
[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 file parameter
• A component of the pathname pointed to by the file parameter
• The intermediate result of pathname resolution when a symbolic link is
part of the value specified by the file 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.
