personality - set the process execution domain
Návod, kniha: Linux Programmer's Manual
long personality(unsigned long persona);
Linux supports different execution domains, or personalities, for each process.
Among other things, execution domains tell Linux how to map signal numbers
into signal actions. The execution domain system allows Linux to provide
limited support for binaries compiled under other Unix-like operating systems.
This function will return the current
personality when
persona
equals 0xffffffff. Otherwise, it will make the execution domain referenced by
persona the new execution domain of the current process.
On success, the previous
persona is returned. On error, -1 is returned,
and
errno is set appropriately.
- EINVAL
- The kernel was unable to change the personality.
/usr/include/linux/personality.h
personality is Linux-specific and should not be used in programs intended
to be portable.
