+/****************************************************************************
+ * Name: posix_spawn
+ *
+ * Description:
+ * The posix_spawn() and posix_spawnp() functions will create a new,
+ * child task, constructed from a regular executable file.
+ *
+ * Input Parameters:
+ *
+ * pid - Upon successful completion, posix_spawn() and posix_spawnp() will
+ * return the task ID of the child task to the parent task, in the
+ * variable pointed to by a non-NULL 'pid' argument. If the 'pid'
+ * argument is a null pointer, the process ID of the child is not
+ * returned to the caller.
+ *
+ * path - The 'path' argument to posix_spawn() is the absolute path that
+ * identifies the file to execute. The 'path' argument to posix_spawnp()
+ * may also be a relative path and will be used to construct a pathname
+ * that identifies the file to execute. In the case of a relative path,
+ * the path prefix for the file will be obtained by a search of the
+ * directories passed as the environment variable PATH.
+ *
+ * NOTE: NuttX provides only one implementation: If
+ * CONFIG_BINFMT_EXEPATH is defined, then only posix_spawnp() behavior
+ * is supported; otherwise, only posix_spawn behavior is supported.
+ *
+ * file_actions - If 'file_actions' is a null pointer, then file
+ * descriptors open in the calling process will remain open in the
+ * child process (unless CONFIG_FDCLONE_STDIO is defined). If
+ * 'file_actions' is not NULL, then the file descriptors open in the
+ * child process will be those open in the calling process as modified
+ * by the spawn file actions object pointed to by file_actions.
+ *
+ * attr - If the value of the 'attr' parameter is NULL, the all default
+ * values for the POSIX spawn attributes will be used. Otherwise, the
+ * attributes will be set according to the spawn flags. The
+ * posix_spawnattr_t spawn attributes object type is defined in spawn.h.
+ * It will contains these attributes, not all of which are supported by
+ * NuttX:
+ *
+ * - POSIX_SPAWN_SETPGROUP: Setting of the new task's process group is
+ * not supported. NuttX does not support process groups.
+ * - POSIX_SPAWN_SETSCHEDPARAM: Set new tasks priority to the sched_param
+ * value.
+ * - POSIX_SPAWN_SETSCHEDULER: Set the new task's scheduler policy to
+ * the sched_policy value.
+ * - POSIX_SPAWN_RESETIDS: Resetting of the effective user ID of the child
+ * process is not supported. NuttX does not support effective user
+ * IDs.
+ * - POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGMASK: Set the new task's signal mask.
+ * - POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGDEF: Resetting signal default actions is not
+ * supported. NuttX does not support default signal actions.
+ *
+ * argv - argv[] is the argument list for the new task. argv[] is an
+ * array of pointers to null-terminated strings. The list is terminated
+ * with a null pointer.
+ *
+ * envp - The envp[] argument is not used by NuttX and may be NULL. In
+ * standard implementations, envp[] is an array of character pointers to
+ * null-terminated strings that provide the environment for the new
+ * process image. The environment array is terminated by a null pointer.
+ * In NuttX, the envp[] argument is ignored and the new task will simply
+ * inherit the environment of the parent task.
+ *
+ * Returned Value:
+ * posix_spawn() and posix_spawnp() will return zero on success.
+ * Otherwise, an error number will be returned as the function return
+ * value to indicate the error:
+ *
+ * - EINVAL: The value specified by 'file_actions' or 'attr' is invalid.
+ * - Any errors that might have been return if vfork() and excec[l|v]()
+ * had been called.
+ *
+ * Assumptions/Limitations:
+ * - NuttX provides only posix_spawn() or posix_spawnp() behavior
+ * depending upon the setting of CONFIG_BINFMT_EXEPATH: If
+ * CONFIG_BINFMT_EXEPATH is defined, then only posix_spawnp() behavior
+ * is supported; otherwise, only posix_spawn behavior is supported.
+ * - The 'envp' argument is not used and the 'environ' variable is not
+ * altered (NuttX does not support the 'environ' variable).
+ * - Process groups are not supported (POSIX_SPAWN_SETPGROUP).
+ * - Effective user IDs are not supported (POSIX_SPAWN_RESETIDS).
+ * - Signal default actions cannot be modified in the newly task executed
+ * because NuttX does not support default signal actions
+ * (POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGDEF).
+ *
+ * POSIX Compatibility
+ * - The value of the argv[0] received by the child task is assigned by
+ * NuttX. For the caller of posix_spawn(), the provided argv[0] will
+ * correspond to argv[1] received by the new task.
