<strong>Synopsis</strong>
<p>
<strong>exec [ -c ] [</strong> <em>command</em> <strong>[</strong> <em>argument ...</em>

<p><strong>Description</strong></p>
<p>The <strong>exec</strong> utility replaces <strong>
qsh</strong> with <em>command</em> without creating a new process.
The specified <em>arguments</em> are arguments to <em>
command</em>. Any redirections affect the current environment.</p>
<p>When a <em>command</em> is not specified, any redirections are
processed in the current environment. Any file descriptors greater
than 2 that are opened by a redirection are not inherited when
<strong>qsh</strong> invokes another program.</p>
<p><strong>Options</strong></p>
<dl>
<dt>
<strong>-c</strong></dt>
<dd>Run <em>command</em> with an empty set of environment variables.
</dd>
</dl>
<p><strong>Operands</strong></p>
<p>Each <em>argument</em> is assigned in order to the positional
parameters of <em>command</em>.</p>
<p><strong>Exit Status</strong></p>
<p>Zero if no <em>command</em> is specified. Otherwise it does not
return to <strong>qsh</strong>.</p>
