(That text dates from when exect(), which takes argv and envp like execvpe() does, was documented on this manpage. It was moved to the execve(2) manpage in 2001, but the trailing clause of this sentence was overlooked. With execvpe() now on this page, it can simply slip into place where exect() originally was.) jmc, you want to commit this? ok guenther@
