environment linux glibc2.24+ musl

fork create child process copy-on-write memory need same size memory per a child process POSIX.1-2001 https://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/tree/src/process/fork.c

vfork same as fork share memory with child process sleep parent process -> run child process -> execve POSIX.1-2001(obsolate) removed POSIX.1-2008 https://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/tree/src/process/vfork.c https://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/tree/src/process/x86_64/vfork.s

posix_spawn fork-exec before glibc2.24, fork & vfork after glibc2.24, clone(2) https://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/tree/src/process/posix_spawn.c

clone Linux-specific with flag CLONE_VFORK = vfork https://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/tree/src/thread/clone.c https://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/tree/src/thread/x86_64/clone.s
