eexxeecc -- Command

Execute command directly
eexxeecc [_c_o_m_m_a_n_d]

The shell normally executes  commands through the system call ffoorrkk(), which
creates a new process.  The  shell command eexxeecc directly executes the given
_c_o_m_m_a_n_d  through  one  of the  eexxeecc()  functions  instead.  Normally,  this
terminates execution of the current shell.

If the _c_o_m_m_a_n_d  consists only of redirection specifications, eexxeecc redirects
the input  or output of  the current shell  accordingly without terminating
it.  If the _c_o_m_m_a_n_d is omitted, eexxeecc has no effect.
