When searching on google use quotes around exect to avoid getting
results for exec which is more widespread.

Yeah, I was too dumb for that :-)

Seems it's from BSD:

https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=exec&sektion=3

it's basically execle() but with both argv and envp as arrays instead of
vararg.

Anarchos was kind enough already to point me to it (see #12114) -- the important difference is this, though:

"The function exect() executes a file with the program tracing facilities enabled (see ptrace(2))."

Bye,
