38 pid_t vfork(
40 SYNOPSIS
41 void)
43 FUNCTION
44 Function to create a subprocess of the current process.
46 This is there to ease porting of software using the fork()/vfork()
47 POSIX functions. Due to a different memory and process model, fork()
48 is not implemented at the moment in the C library. vfork() is provided
49 with some extended functionality. In the POSIX standard the only
50 guaranteed functionality for vfork() is to have an exec*() function or
51 exit() called right after the vfork() in the child.
53 Extra functionality for vfork():
54 - The child has its own memory heap; memory allocation/deallocation
55 is allowed and the heap will be removed when calling _exit() or will
56 be used for the code started by the exec*() functions.
57 - The child will have a copy of the file descriptors as specified by
58 the POSIX standard for the fork() function. File I/O is possible in
59 the child, as is file manipulation with dup() etc.
61 Difference with fork():
62 - The virtual memory heap is not duplicated as in POSIX but the memory
63 is shared between parent and child. AROS lives in one big single
64 memory region so changes to memory in the child are also seen by the
65 parent.
67 Behaviour for other resources not described in this doc may not be
68 relied on for future compatibility.
70 INPUTS
73 RESULT
74 -1: error, no child is started; errno will be set.
75 0: Running in child
76 >0: Running in parent, pid of child is return value.
78 NOTES
79 Current implementation of vfork() will only really start running things
80 in parallel on an exec*() call. After vfork(), child code will run until
81 _exit() or exec*(). With _exit(), the child will exit and the parent
82 will continue; with exec*(), the child will be detached and the parent
83 will continue.
