"execvp()" replaces the current program with the to-be-execed program (of course in the same process context). So, putting, say, any printf() calls after execvp() won't work. That is what the docs say, and I have verified it as well.
But then, why is _exit() needed..? Does it so happen that the control DOES return to statements post execvp() ?
I will be grateful for any pointers.
Thanks
