New submission from STINNER Victor: execveat() was added to Linux in kernel 3.19: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/execveat.2.html
It may be interesting to expose it in Python. "The primary aim of adding an execveat syscall is to allow an implementation of fexecve(3) that does not rely on the /proc filesystem. The current glibc version of fexecve(3) is implemented via /proc, which causes problems in sandboxed or otherwise restricted environments." http://lwn.net/Articles/600344/ ---------- components: Extension Modules messages: 235889 nosy: haypo priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Linux: expose the new execveat() syscall versions: Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23459> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
