+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+These functions add an open, dup2 or close action to a spawn
+file actions object.
+.Pp
+A spawn file actions object is of type
+.Vt posix_spawn_file_actions_t
+(defined in
+.In spawn.h )
+and is used to specify a series of actions to be performed by a
+.Fn posix_spawn
+or
+.Fn posix_spawnp
+operation in order to arrive at the set of open file descriptors for the
+child process given the set of open file descriptors of the parent.
+.Pp
+A spawn file actions object, when passed to
+.Fn posix_spawn
+or
+.Fn posix_spawnp ,
+specify how the set of open file descriptors in the calling
+process is transformed into a set of potentially open file descriptors
+for the spawned process.
+This transformation is as if the specified sequence of actions was
+performed exactly once, in the context of the spawned process (prior to
+execution of the new process image), in the order in which the actions
+were added to the object; additionally, when the new process image is
+executed, any file descriptor (from this new set) which has its
+.Dv FD_CLOEXEC
+flag set is closed (see
+.Fn posix_spawn ) .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn posix_spawn_file_actions_addopen
+function adds an open action to the object referenced by
+.Fa file_actions
+that causes the file named by
+.Fa path
+to be opened (as if
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+open(path, oflag, mode)
+.Ed
+.Pp
+had been called, and the returned file descriptor, if not
+.Fa fildes ,
+had been changed to
+.Fa fildes )
+when a new process is spawned using this file actions object.
+If
+.Fa fildes
+was already an open file descriptor, it is closed before the new
+file is opened.
+.Pp
+The string described by
+.Fa path
+is copied by the
+.Fn posix_spawn_file_actions_addopen
+function.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn posix_spawn_file_actions_adddup2
+function adds a dup2 action to the object referenced by
+.Fa file_actions
+that causes the file descriptor
+.Fa fildes
+to be duplicated as
+.Fa newfildes
+(as if
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+dup2(fildes, newfildes)
+.Ed
+.Pp
+had been called) when a new process is spawned using this file actions object.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn posix_spawn_file_actions_addclose
+function adds a close action to the object referenced by
+.Fa file_actions
+that causes the file descriptor
+.Fa fildes
+to be closed (as if
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+close(fildes)
+.Ed
+.Pp
+had been called) when a new process is spawned using this file actions
+object.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+Upon successful completion, these functions return zero;
+otherwise, an error number is returned to indicate the error.
+.Sh ERRORS
+These
+functions fail if:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er EINVAL
+The value specified by
+.Fa fildes
+or
+.Fa newfildes
+is negative.
+.It Bq Er ENOMEM
+Insufficient memory exists to add to the spawn file actions object.
