- *int _execvp(filename, argvector) - execute file; search along PATH
- *
- *Purpose:
- * Execute the given file with given path and current environ.
- * try to execute the file. start with the name itself (directory '.'),
- * and if that doesn't work start prepending pathnames from the
- * environment until one works or we run out. if the file is a pathname,
- * don't go to the environment to get alternate paths. if errno comes
- * back ENOEXEC, try it as a shell command file with up to MAXARGS-2
- * arguments from the original vector. if a needed text file is busy,
- * wait a little while and try again before despairing completely
- * Actually calls _execvpe() to do all the work.
- *
- *Entry:
- * _TSCHAR *filename - file to execute
- * _TSCHAR **argvector - vector of arguments
- *
- *Exit:
- * destroys the calling process (hopefully)
- * if fails, returns -1
- *
- *Exceptions:
