Question

I have a program which forks off other processes. The arguments to my program include the process name of the process to be forked, along with any arguments.

This means, when I make the call to exec(), I need to be able to handle however many arguments were supplied.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Answer 1

The execv function takes a pointer to an array of arguments.

Just like in main, the last element in the array needs to be a null pointer.
