PERSONALITY(2) Linux Programmer's Manual PERSONALITY(2) NAME personality - set the process execution domain SYNOPSIS #include <sys/personality.h> int personality(unsigned long persona); DESCRIPTION Linux supports different execution domains, or personalities, for each process. Among other things, execution domains tell Linux how to map sig- nal numbers into signal actions. The execution domain system allows Linux to provide limited support for binaries compiled under other UNIX-like op- erating systems. This function will return the current personality() when persona equals 0xffffffff. Otherwise, it will make the execution domain referenced by persona the new execution domain of the calling process. RETURN VALUE On success, the previous persona is returned. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately. ERRORS EINVAL The kernel was unable to change the personality. CONFORMING TO personality() is Linux-specific and should not be used in programs intended to be portable. COLOPHON This page is part of release 3.53 of the Linux man-pages project.
