Windows has exec.

• wruza 10y ago
  Exec is substitution of current process with new image without closing fds or changing pid. Which winapi function does that?

    _wexec and friends. It internally uses CreateProcess obviously.

  Right, but it's not used in the sense of fork+exec. I should have said that Windows doesn't only have exec, it has spawn too.
