Posix_spawn – spawn a process

• bediger4000 11y ago
  Do I need to point out that all the complications of posix_spawn() could be taken care of with clone() and exec()? I guess this raises a larger question, why is spawn() such an attractive idea, while the fork()/exec() idea is so difficult? Sure, sure, with only a little tinkering, spawn() will work for all the current use cases, and my new one, but what about the use case after that? Get rfork(), baby!
