A thought WRT the naming: while ..._addopen() can be called for more file
descriptors, there's only one working directory for the spawned process.
Therefore I suggest to simply call it posix_spawn_file_actions_chdir(),
i.e., without the "add" in its name.
To "remove" this from the posix_spawn_file_actions again (before calling
posix_spawn, of course), one could also simply use
   posix_spawn_file_actions_chdir(NULL);

WDYT?

Have a nice day,
