Execute process (using argument list, environment; search path)
Declaration
Source position: unix.pp line 110
function FpExecLP(const PathName: RawByteString;
const S: Array of RawByteString) : cint;
Description
FpExecLP replaces the currently running program with the program, specified in PathName. S is an array of command options. The executable in PathName is searched in the path, if it isn't an absolute filename. The current environment is passed to the program. On success, FpExecLP does not return.

- sys_e2big
