Creates a process and executes it.

This API cannot be used in applications that execute in the Windows Runtime. For more information, see CRT functions not supported with /ZW.
intptr_t _spawnvp(
int mode,
const char *cmdname,
const char *const *argv
);
intptr_t _wspawnvp(
int mode,
const wchar_t *cmdname,
const wchar_t *const *argv
);
Parameters
mode
Execution mode for calling the process.cmdname
Path of the file to be executed.argv
Array of pointers to arguments. The argument argv[0] is usually a pointer to a path in real mode or to the program name in protected mode, and argv[1] through argv[n] are pointers to the character strings that form the new argument list. The argument argv[n +1] must be a NULL pointer to mark the end of the argument list.
Return Value
The return value from a synchronous _spawnvp or _wspawnvp (_P_WAIT specified for mode) is the exit status of the new process. The return value from an asynchronous _spawnvp or _wspawnvp (_P_NOWAIT or _P_NOWAITO specified for mode) is the process handle. The exit status is 0 if the process terminated normally. You can set the exit status to a nonzero value if the spawned process specifically uses a nonzero argument to call the exit routine. If the new process did not explicitly set a positive exit status, a positive exit status indicates an abnormal exit with an abort or an interrupt. A return value of –1 indicates an error (the new process is not started). In this case, errno is set to one of the following values:
E2BIG
Argument list exceeds 1024 bytes.EINVAL
mode argument is invalid.ENOENT
File or path is not found.ENOEXEC
Specified file is not executable or has invalid executable-file format.ENOMEM
Not enough memory is available to execute the new process.
For more information about these, and other, return codes, see errno, _doserrno, _sys_errlist, and _sys_nerr.
Remarks
Each of these functions creates a new process and executes it, and passes an array of pointers to command-line arguments and uses the PATH environment variable to find the file to execute.
These functions validate their parameters. If either cmdname or argv is a null pointer, or if argv points to null pointer, or argv[0] is an empty string, the invalid parameter handler is invoked, as described in Parameter Validation. If execution is allowed to continue, these functions set errno to EINVAL, and return -1. No new process is spawned.
