Class Tools.Standalone.forkd

Description

Fork Daemon

This is a light-weight daemon that can be used via Process.Process to spawn new processes (by specifying the "forkd" modifier).

The typical use is when the main program is large and/or when it has lots of open file descriptors. This can cause considerable overhead in process creation.
