Subject: suggestion for improvement to vfork() man page
Date: Wed, 18 Jan 2012 22:16:28 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <6.2.5.6.2.20120118221253.03aad598@binnacle.cx> (raw)
Also I don't think it is unfortunate (or a bug)
that vfork() continues to exist in Linux aside
from the fact that the semantics differ from
other *nixes in subtle and potentially
confusing ways.
As implemented in Linux vfork() is quite useful
and with the aforementioned clarifications to
the documentation, worth retaining.
