# 1.11 12-Jun-2019 wiz

Fix typo.


# 1.10 12-Jun-2019 kamil

Rephrase sentence about vfork+exec in posix_spawn(3)

Try to make it less confusing.

Requested by <joerg>


# 1.9 12-Jun-2019 kamil

Document that posix_spawn(3) uses a dedicated syscall

vfork+exec operations are done in one go. This is important information for
programs that wrap posix_spawn(3).


# 1.8 11-Jun-2019 wiz

Quote the name "Ed" to avoid confusion with the macro "Ed".


# 1.7 11-Jun-2019 kamil

Correct outdated note that posix_spawn(3) is implemented with vfork(2)

The original FreeBSD libc code uses vfork(2), it's not the case for NetBSD
as there is a dedicated kernel syscall.

# 1.6 02-Feb-2014 wiz

branches: 1.6.26;
Bump date for previous.


# 1.5 02-Feb-2014 martin

Limit the amount of kernel memory a posix_spawn syscall can use (for handling
the file action list) by limiting the maximum number of file actions to
twice the current file descriptor limit.
Fix a few bugs in the support functions and document the new limit.
From Maxime Villard.
