Subject: include/c: add errexec()
X-Git-Tag: v2.32-rc1~36
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=cf654e1c3ec8f6f9ac93bf4f6981d560249868d9;p=thirdparty%2Futil-linux.git

include/c: add errexec()

The new errexec() macro consolidate and unify the way how util-linux
tools react to failed exec()-like functions:

 * exit code 126 when program located, but not usable
 * exit code 127 when could not find program to exec

The exit codes are compatible with coreutils.

Note that all the change is located in c.h; the file exitcodes.h
contains API specific (mkfs, fsck, ...) codes only.
