Process Control Function

int execvpe(const char *cmdname, const char *const *argv, const char *const *envp);

int _execvpe(const char *cmdname, const char *const *argv, const char *const *envp);

int _wexecvpe(const wchar_t *cmdname, const wchar_t *const *argv, const wchar_t *const *envp);

int _texecvpe(const TCHAR *cmdname, const TCHAR *const *argv, const TCHAR *const *envp);

Internationalization (I18n) Function Overview

These functions load and execute a new process. They are similar to _execve/execve, except that they search the directories listed in the PATH environment variable to find cmdname.

_wexecvpe is the wide-character version of the function; its parameters and return value are wide characters.

_texecvpe is the Windows-only Generic version of the function; with the _MBCS or _UNICODE compiler flags determining its mapping to either _execvpe or _wexecvpe.

I18n Issues

Use the appropriate version of the function as required for internationalization support, noting the following:

For a Windows MBCS application, _execvpe depends on the multibyte code page in effect. By default, the multibyte code page is set to the system-default ANSI code page obtained from the operating system at program startup. Use _getmbcp and _setmbcp to query or change the current multibyte code page, respectively.

Recommended Replacements*

*If you're already using the recommended function, see I18n Issues for other reasons why Globalyzer is detecting the function.
