System programmer response
An execl can fail for the following
reasons:
- The new process's combined argument list and environment list
has more bytes than the system defined limit ARG_MAX.
- The process did not have appropriate permissions to run the
specified file for one of the following reasons:
- The process did not have permission to search a directory named
in your path.
- The process did not have execute permission for the file to be
run.
- The file to be run was not a regular file and the system cannot
run files of its type.
- The new process image file has the appropriate permission and
has a recognized format, but the system does not support execution
of a file with this format.
- A loop exists in symbolic links.
- One or more pathname components in path or file does not exist.
- The new process image file has the appropriate access permission
but is not in the proper format.
- The new process requires more memory than is permitted by the
operating system.
- A directory component of path or file is not really a directory.
