-.TH PERSONALITY 2 2015-02-01 "Linux" "Linux Programmer's Manual"
-.SH NAME
-personality \- set the process execution domain
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B #include <sys/personality.h>
-.sp
-.BI "int personality(unsigned long " persona );
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-Linux supports different execution domains, or personalities, for each
-process.
-Among other things, execution domains tell Linux how to map
-signal numbers into signal actions.
-The execution domain system allows
-Linux to provide limited support for binaries compiled under other
-UNIX-like operating systems.
-
-If
-.I persona
-is not
-0xffffffff, then
-.BR personality ()
-sets the caller's execution domain to the value specified by
-.IR persona .
-Specifying
-.IR persona
-as 0xffffffff provides a way of retrieving
-the current persona without changing it.
-
-A list of the available execution domains can be found in
-.IR <sys/personality.h> .
-.SH RETURN VALUE
-On success, the previous
-.I persona
-is returned.
-On error, \-1 is returned, and
-.I errno
-is set appropriately.
-.SH ERRORS
-.TP
-.B EINVAL
-The kernel was unable to change the personality.
-.SH CONFORMING TO
-.BR personality ()
-is Linux-specific and should not be used in programs intended to
-be portable.
-.SH SEE ALSO
-.BR setarch (8)
-.SH COLOPHON

-.I man-pages
