like fork(), creates duplicates of process attributes
in the child.

vfork.2: Child holds parent's memory until execve() or *termination*
...
The page was phrased in a few places to describe the child as
holding the parent's memory until the child does an execve(2)
or an _exit(2). The latter case should really be the more
general process termimation (i.e., either _exit(2) or abnormal
termination).
