Michael Kerrisk	67f0f50d07	Describe getpid()'s PID caching and its consequences. getpid() caches the PID after the first call. This relies on support in the glibc wrappers for fork()/vfork()/clone(). However, if syscall() is used to directly invoke fork()/vfork()/clone(), the cache is not updated, and getpid() in the child procudes the wrong result.	2008-09-23 04:12:27 +02:00
