Hi,

[intro]This question was originally asked on StackOverflow, but so far
I have not get a response.[/intro]

In Linux, 'clone()' syscall is used for creating processes/threads.

On OpenBSD using ktrace/kdump I determined that for process creation
'vfork()' syscall is used, and for thread creation - 'tfork()'.

I have two questions:
1. Is my statement correct?
2. Shouldn't 'vfork()' and 'tfork()' finally use a single system call
like 'clone()'?


Thanks.
