I'm looking at porting a linux program that uses `clone()' and was considering the BSD `rfork()' as an equivalent. My questions are: Do we have an equivalent for Linux `sched_yield()'? How light weight is the process created by `rfork()' (assuming that we share everything possible to be shared)? I'm not really looking at a complete emulation of `clone()'; just enough to get equivalent functionality. The other approach I am looking at is to use a user space threads library to get the required multi-threading. Which brings me to my next question: Whats the current state of the Posix threads library on FreeBSD? Thanks, Koshy <koshy@india.hp.com> My Personal Opinions Only.
