OS/161 Reference Manual

Name

bigexec - test exec with large argv blocks

Synopsis

/testbin/bigexec

Description

bigexec tests a number of different possible ways to call execv with large or largish argv blocks.

bigexec should work once you have implemented the basic system calls, including of course execv. (But it depends on little other than execv, making it useful in the early stages.)
