Title QNX4 equivalent of vfork()
Ref. No. QNX.000008580
Category(ies) Development
Issue Is there any function in Watcom C of QNX that works like 'vfork() funcion ? Watcom C supports 'fork()' function but I need 'vfork()' function to let the parent and the child process share same address space.




Solution There is no vfork() in QNX4, only in Neutrino.   
In QNX4, instead of vfork() you will have to use shared memory or some other form of IPC.
