43* Build argv list and optionally re-exec Exim *
44*************************************************/

46/* This function is called when Exim wants to re-exec (overlay) itself in the
47current process. This is different to child_open_exim(), which runs another
48Exim process in parallel (but it then calls this function). The function's
49basic job is to build the argv list according to the values of current options
50settings. There is a basic list that all calls require, and an additional list
51that some do not require. Further additions can be given as additional
52arguments. An option specifies whether the exec() is actually to happen, and if
53so, what is to be done if it fails.
54
55Arguments:
56 exec_type CEE_RETURN_ARGV => don't exec; return the argv list
57 CEE_EXEC_EXIT => just exit() on exec failure
58 CEE_EXEC_PANIC => panic-die on exec failure
59 kill_v if TRUE, don't pass on the D_v flag
60 pcount if not NULL, points to extra size of argv required, and if
61 CEE_RETURN_ARGV is specified, it is updated to give the
62 number of slots used
63 minimal TRUE if only minimal argv is required
64 acount number of additional arguments
65 ... further values to add to argv
