/**
 * callvpe() - execute a file with given arguments and environment.
 * \param file[in] name or path of file to be executed.
 * \param args[in] arguments to file.
 * \param envp[in] execution environment.
 * \return -1 on failure (for example if fork() failed).
 * \return process return status on success.
 *
 * callvpe() is intended as a safer replacement for system(). It
 * executes the file specified and returns after it has completed. As
 * with system during execution of the command, SIGCHLD will be
 * blocked, and SIGINT and SIGQUIT will be ignored. The main
 * difference between system(cmd) and callvpe(file, args, envp) is
 * that system() calls exec("/bin/sh" "-c" "cmd") whereas callvpe()
 * bypasses the shell and passes the args given directly to execvpe().
 *
 * Rather than:
 *
 *      snprintf(cmd, sizeof(cmd), "rm -rf %s\n", path);
 *      rc = system(cmd);
 *
 * instead use:
 *
 *      char *args[] = { "rm", "-rf", "--", path, NULL };
 *      extern char **environ;
 *      rc = callvpe("/bin/rm", args, environ);
 *
 * Note that since callvpe() does not use the shell, IO redirection
 * and pipelines (cmd > /dev/null, cmd 2>&1, cmd1 | cmd2, ...) are not
 * supported.
