    2.1.8 vfork

    +

    + Function Prototype: +

    + +

    + Description: + The vfork() function has the same effect as fork(), except that the behavior is undefined if the process created by vfork() either modifies any data other than a variable of type pid_t used to store the return value from vfork(), or returns from the function in which vfork() was called, or calls any other function before successfully calling _exit() or one of the exec family of functions. +

    +

    + NOTE: + vfork() is not an independent NuttX feature, but is implemented in architecture-specific logic (using only helper functions from the NuttX core logic). + As a result, vfork() may not be available on all architectures. +
    +

    + Input Parameters: + None. +

    +

    + Returned Value: + Upon successful completion, vfork() returns 0 to the child process and returns + the process ID of the child process to the parent process. + Otherwise, -1 is returned to the parent, no child process is created, and errno is set to indicate the error. +

    + Assumptions/Limitations: +

    +

    + POSIX Compatibility: + Compatible with the Unix interface of the same name. +
