+<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
+     <STRONG>Fork</STRONG> causes creation of a new process.  The new process  (child  process)
+     is an exact copy of the calling process except for the following:
+
+          The child process has a unique process ID.
+
+          The child process has a  different  parent  process  ID  (i.e.,  the
+          process ID of the parent process).
+
+          The child process has its own  copy  of  the  parent's  descriptors.
+          These  descriptors  reference  the same underlying objects, so that,
+          for instance, file pointers in file objects are shared  between  the
+          child  and  the  parent,  so that an <STRONG><A HREF="../man2/lseek.2.html">lseek(2)</A></STRONG> on a descriptor in the
+          child process can affect a subsequent <STRONG>read</STRONG> or <STRONG>write</STRONG> by  the  parent.
+          This  descriptor  copying  is  also  used  by the shell to establish
+          standard input and output for newly created processes as well as  to
+          set up pipes.
+
+          The child starts with no  pending  signals  and  an  inactive  alarm
+          timer.
+
+
+</PRE>
+<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
+     Upon successful completion, <STRONG>fork</STRONG> returns  a  value  of  0  to  the  child
+     process  and  returns  the  process ID of the child process to the parent
+     process.  Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned to the parent process,  no
+     child  process  is  created,  and  the  global  variable  <STRONG>errno</STRONG> is set to
+     indicate the error.
+
+
+</PRE>
+<H2>ERRORS</H2><PRE>
+     <STRONG>Fork</STRONG> will fail and no child process will be created if one or more of the
+     following are true:
+
+     [EAGAIN]       The system-imposed limit on the total number of  processes
+                    under   execution   would  be  exceeded.   This  limit  is
+                    configuration-dependent.  (The kernel variable NR_PROCS in
+                    &lt;minix/config.h&gt; (Minix), or &lt;minix/const.h&gt; (Minix-vmd).)
+
+     [ENOMEM]       There  is  insufficient  (virtual)  memory  for  the   new
+                    process.
