execve() call is available on Android as well. When process.execve was first added, it seems like no one checked if that is actually available on Android as well and works out of the box as __POSIX__ is defined on Android. process.execve call seems to behave just as fine as on Linux environment in my testing, so just make the docs specify it.

I guess Android is POSIX, it's listed as "Mostly POSIX-compliant" on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX#POSIX-oriented_operating_systems. Given that it seems to be possible to get POSIX for Windows, I wonder if we should keep mentioning POSIX 🤔 |

Also, I don't know if IBMI is POSIX but it doesn't support execve: https://ci.nodejs.org/job/node-test-commit-ibmi/nodes=ibmi74-ppc64/1883/#showFailuresLink @nodejs/platform-ibmi |

@targos It seems the syscall exists but we get a EPERM error somehow. |

Hi @targos I'm currently investigating why we are getting back EPERM error on IBM i for some reason, execve does exist and I tested it using a simple C program. |
