(see link below) They're wrapped in the nice SYSCALL_DEFINE# macros and all seem to call do_fork(). http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/kernel/fork.c?v=3.13#L1641 Can't really help you on the libc part, and you would need to specify which libc implementation you're interested in. _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
