The article mentions that it was based of BSDI's sfork() call. This call is referenced in our syscalls.master but it's not implemented and the BSDI manpages seem to have vanished from the net. Can someone knowledgeable comment on what it does, and maybe if it could (or should) be brought into FreeBSD ? tia, Pedro. BTW, the .ps version of that article is really better than the .pdf To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
