/* The sfork system call is much like the rfork system call found in Plan 9 and
BSD systems, however it works slightly differently and was renamed to avoid
conflicts with existing programs. In particular, it never forks an item
unless its bit is set, whereas rfork sometimes forks an item by default. If
you wish to fork certain items simply set the proper flags. Note that since
flags may be added from time to time, you should use various compound flags
defined below such as SFFORK and SFALL. It can be useful do combine these
compound flags with bit operations, for instance "I want traditional fork,
except share the working dir pointer" is sfork(SFFORK & ~SFCWD). */

the parent thread and that various threading features may not have been set
up properly. You should use the standard threading API unless you know what
you are doing; remember that you can always sfork more stuff after the
standard threading API returns control to you. This is useful combined with
the tfork System call that lets you control the registers of the new task. */

/* Provides traditional fork(2) behavior; use this instead of the above values
if you want "as fork(2), but also fork foo", or "as fork(2), except bar". In
those cases it is better to sfork(SFFORK & ~SFFOO); or sfork(SFFORK | SFBAR);
as that would allow to add new flags to SFFORK if a new kernel feature is
added to the system that applications don't know about yet. */

namespace). Note that there is a few unset high bits in this value, these
are reserved and must not be set. */

task. It is ignored if no new task is created. sfork works by recording its
own state into such a structure and calling tfork. Note that this structure
is highly platform specific, portable code should use the standard threading
facilities combined with sfork if possible. */
