Have a look at exec(3):

DESCRIPTION
   The  exec()  family  of functions replaces the current process
   image with a new process image.  The functions described in this
   manual page are front-ends for execve(2).  (See the manual page
   for execve(2) for further details about the replacement of the
   current process image.)

There actually exist no exec() call. You might be thinking of system()?
