The const char *arg and subsequent ellipses in the execl, execlp, and

execle functions can be thought of as arg0, arg1, ..., argn.   Together
they describe a list of one or more pointers to null-terminated strings
that represent the argument list available  to  the  executed  program.
The  first argument, by convention, should point to the file name asso-
ciated with the file being executed.  The list  of  arguments  must  be
terminated  by a NULL pointer, and, since these are variadic functions,
this pointer must be cast (char *) NULL.
