The spawn() family of functions declared in process.h can replace it in cases where the call to fork() is followed directly by exec(). When a fork syscall is made on WSL, lxss.sys does some of the initial work to prepare for copying the process. It then calls internal NT APIs to create the process with the correct semantics and create a thread ...
The DOS/Windows spawn functions are inspired by Unix functions fork and exec; however, as these operating systems do not support fork, [2] the spawn function was supplied as a replacement for the fork-exec combination. However, the spawn function, although it deals adequately with the most common use cases, lacks the full power of fork-exec ...
There are two major procedures for creating a child process: the fork system call (preferred in Unix-like systems and the POSIX standard) and the spawn (preferred in the modern (NT) kernel of Microsoft Windows, as well as in some historical operating systems).
The POSIX-compatibility component of VM/CMS (OpenExtensions) provides a very limited implementation of fork, in which the parent is suspended while the child executes, and the child and the parent share the same address space. [19] This is essentially a vfork labelled as a fork. (This applies to the CMS guest operating system only; other VM ...
HFS, and the original Apple Macintosh file system MFS, allowed a file system object to have two kinds of forks: a data fork and a resource fork. The resource fork was designed to store non-compiled data that would be used by the system's graphical user interface (GUI), such as localizable text strings, a file's icon to be used by the Finder or ...

A fast posix_spawn() needs vfork() and that a posix_spawn() implemented on top of fork() is a slow and useless restriction. If you like to do a decent comparison of fork() and vfork(), you need to check an OS that implements a modern fork() and a vfork(). Solaris implements both fork variants:
In a win for the Trump administration, a federal judge on Wednesday decided a government buyout program offered to millions of federal employees could proceed. U.S. District Judge George O’Toole ...
