- * execlp --
- *
- * Execute a process, using the current environment variable,
- * instead of an explicitly-supplied one, and with arguments
- * in-line instead of in a separate array. Also, imitate the
- * shell's actions in trying each directory in a search path
- * (given by the "PATH" environment variable).
- *
- * Results:
- * This procedure returns only if the exec fails. In this case
- * the return value is -1.
- *
- * Side effects:
- * Overlays the current process with a new image. See the man
- * page for details.
