![]() The implementation of the fork() step in posix_spawn(2) relies on either fork(2), vfork(2) or clone(2) depending on the version of the glibc and the arguments passed to posix_spawn(2). It is sometimes ambiguous whether, when we are mentioning "fork(2)", we are referring to the fork() step or the actual fork(2) syscall. This patch hopefully avoids the ambiguity by replacing confusing occurrences by "the xxx() step" where appropriate.

README
This package contains Linux man pages for sections 1 through 8. Some more information is given in the 'man-pages-x.y.Announce' file. Homepage ======== For information about the Linux man-pages project, see http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/index.html. Bug reports and contributing ============================ If you have corrections and additions to suggest, see http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/contributing.html (Although there is a mirror of this repository on GitHub, please don't report issues via the GitHub issue tracker!) For further information on contributing, see the CONTRIBUTING file. Installing and uninstalling =========================== "make install" will copy these man pages to /usr/share/man/man[1-8]. To install to a path different from /usr, use "make install prefix=/install/path". "make remove" or "make uninstall" will remove any man page in this distribution from its destination. Use with caution, and remember to use "prefix" if desired, as with the "install" target. "make" or "make all" will perform "make uninstall" followed by "make install".
