- fexl 15y agoI thought that spawning a new process was the same as forking. What am I missing?
- SaltwaterC 15y agohttp://linux.die.net/man/2/fork http://linux.die.net/man/2/fork - this explains better.
- fexl 15y agoThanks, but I already know what fork does. My point is that "fork" is precisely how one spawns a new process, and there is no other way to do so.
