Talk:Clone (Linux system call)

$ man 2 clone

"Stacks grow downwards on all processors that run Linux (except the HP PA processors), so child_stack usually points  to the topmost address of the memory space set up for the child stack."

This page is rather about the (g)libc clone function than the actual eponymous Linux system call. The later behaves much like fork, which is not what is stated in the article. So either the article is wrongly titled or the content needs to be clarified to distinguish between the libc function and the actual system call. -- 05/12/2012 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.84.87.244 (talk) 23:13, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
