I thought the effects of exit(0) and _exit(0) should be different.
----
int main(void)
{
int var = 0;
pid_t pid;
printf("before vfork\n");
if ( (pid = vfork()) < 0 )
printf("error\n");
else if ( pid == 0 )
{
var++;
exit(0); /* Clear parent's IO */
}
printf("%d\n",var);
return 0;
}

int main(void)
{
int var = 0;
pid_t pid;
printf("before vfork\n");
if ( (pid = vfork()) < 0 )
printf("error\n");
else if ( pid == 0 )
{
var++;
_exit(0); /* Do not clear parent's IO */
}
printf("%d\n",var);
return 0;
}

But the actual results on RHEL5 x86 were beyond my ken. The outputs of the
above two are the same.
$./a.out
before vfork

Could anyone help me with this? Thanks.
