libcs makes it hard to use because they don't allow programs to call clone. So you have to go through libc-sanctioned wrappers (which have only been arriving very recently and have limitations) or jump through hoops[0] to get the pidfd

waitpid(-1) in a program composed of libraries means that loop is stealing PIDs from other things that manage children within the same process and try to wait on them by PID, which means they'll lose access to the exit status and can a

No, not today. This has already happened a few times. And even before it happened people warned about this predictable use of the technology. There has been enough time to update policies. Even $employer already did, and I consider their se

You can buffer in userspace. Don't do small writes to the socket and no bytes will be sent. Don't do two consecutive small writes and nagle won't kick in.

If a socket is closed properly there'll be a FIN and the other side can learn about it by polling the socket. If the network connection is lost due to external circumstances (say your modem crashes) then how would that information prop

Linux has network namespaces, which can be used to isolate programs so they don't see any external networking when no VPN is available. Does android not use this for its VPN feature?
