int execlpe(const char *cmdname, const char *arg0, ... const char *argn, NULL, const char *const *envp);

int _execlpe(const char *cmdname, const char *arg0, ... const char *argn, NULL, const char *const *envp);

int _wexeclpe(const wchar_t *cmdname, const wchar_t *arg0, ... const wchar_t *argn, NULL, const wchar_t *const *envp);

int _texeclpe(const TCHAR *cmdname, const TCHAR *arg0, ... const TCHAR *argn, NULL, const TCHAR *const *envp);

Internationalization (I18n) Function Overview

These functions load and execute a new process. They are similar to _execle/execle, except that they search the directories listed in the PATH environment variable to find cmdname.

_wexeclpe is the wide-character version of the function; its parameters and return value are wide characters.

_texeclpe is the Windows-only Generic version of the function; with the _MBCS or _UNICODE compiler flags determining its mapping to either _execlpe or _wexeclpe.

I18n Issues

Use the appropriate version of the function as required for internationalization support, noting the following:

For a Windows MBCS application, _execlpe depends on the multibyte code page in effect. By default, the multibyte code page is set to the system-default ANSI code page obtained from the operating system at program startup. Use _getmbcp and _setmbcp to query or change the current multibyte code page, respectively.

Recommended Replacements*

*If you're already using the recommended function, see I18n Issues for other reasons why Globalyzer is detecting the function.
