+(However, on such systems, +the preferred standard way of accomplishing the same result is to use +.BR posix_spawn (3).) I'm not sure I agree on this. Linux posix_spawn() calls fork() which for us is undesirable on MMU systems due to the cost of copying large page tables. To the extent that we would add support for non-MMU platforms, we would stick with direct invocation of vfork() even if the posix_spawn() on those targets used vfork() instead of fork(). One less #ifdef, of which we have far too many as it is. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
