136 * the child (the background) process send the following:
137 * void *routine -- routine to be invoked in the parent
138 * int nargc -- number of arguments
139 * int type -- Return argument type.
141 * If the routine is zero, then it is a way to tell the parent
142 * that the process is dying.
144 * nargc arguments in the following format:
145 * int size of the coming block
146 * size bytes with the block
148 * Now, the parent loads all those and then invokes
149 * the routine with pointers to the information passed
150 * (we just support pointers).
152 * If the return type is integer:
154 * the parent then writes an int to the child with
155 * the return value from the routine and the values
156 * of any global variable that is modified in the parent
157 * currently: do_append and recursive_result.
159 * If the return type is a string:
161 * the parent writes the resulting string length
162 * if the result string was NULL or the empty string,
163 * then the length is zero.
164 * The parent then writes the string length and frees
165 * the result string.
168 * Receive requests from background process and invoke the
169 * specified routine
