- Hello all,
-
- I would appreciate it if someone could tell me how to spawn
- a thread in Linux.
-
- I tried using fork(procedure()) but it said "too many
- parameters to fork". Also, I don't think fork is what I want. Are
- there other ways to spinn off a sub-process than fork?
-
- Also, is a child-process the same as a thread?
-
- Thanks, and please respond by e-mail!
-
- Dan
