+
+ANSI_SYNOPSIS
+	#include <spawn.h>
+
+	int posix_spawn(pid_t *<[pid]>, const char *<[path]>,
+			const posix_spawn_file_actions_t *<[file_actions]>,
+			const posix_spawnattr_t *<[attrp]>,
+			char *const <[argv]>, char *const <[envp]>);
+	int posix_spawnp(pid_t *<[pid]>, const char *<[file]>,
+			const posix_spawn_file_actions_t *<[file_actions]>,
+			const posix_spawnattr_t *<[attrp]>,
+			char *const <[argv]>, char *const <[envp]>);
+
+DESCRIPTION
+Use <<posix_spawn>> and <<posix_spawnp>> to create a new child process
+from the specified process image file. <<argc>> is the argument count
+and <<argv>> is an array of argument strings passed to the new program.
+<<envp>> is an array of stings, which are passed as environment to the
+new program.
+
+The <<path>> argument to <<posix_spawn>> identifies the new process
+image file to execute. The <<file>> argument to <<posix_spawnp>> is
+used to construct a pathname that identifies the new process image
+file by duplicating the actions of the shell in searching for an
+executable file if the specified filename does not contain a `<</>>'
+character. The <<file>> is sought in the colon-separated list of
+directory pathnames specified in the <<PATH>> environment variable.
+
+The file descriptors remain open across <<posix_spawn>> and
+<<posix_spawnp>> except for those marked as close-on-exec. The open
+file descriptors in the child process can be modified by the spawn file
+actions object pointed to by <<file_actions>>.
+
+The spawn attributes object type pointed to by <<attrp>> argument
+may contain any of the attributes defined in <<spawn.h>>.
+
+RETURNS
+<<posix_spawn>> and <<posix_spawnp>> return the process ID of the newly
+spawned child process in the variable pointed by a non-NULL <<*<[pid]>>>
+argument and zero as the function return value upon successful
+completion. Otherwise, <<posix_spawn>> and <<posix_spawnp>> return an
+error number as the function return value to indicate the error; the
+value stored into the variable pointed to by a non-NULL <<*<[pid]>>>
+argument is unspecified.
+
+PORTABILITY
+POSIX.1-2008 requires <<posix_spawn>> and <<posix_spawnp>>.
+
+Supporting OS subroutines required: <<_close>>, <<_dup2>>, <<_fcntl>>,
+<<_execve>>, <<_execvpe>>, <<_exit>>, <<_open>>, <<_sigaction>>,
+<<_sigprocmask>>, <<_waitpid>>, <<sched_setscheduler>>,
+<<sched_setparam>>, <<setegid>>, <<seteuid>>, <<setpgid>>, <<vfork>>.
