Re: [Mingw-users] question about fork

[Luke D. <cod...@ho...>]

fork() is a POSIX function, and Windows is not POSIX. There is no direct
equivalent and you can only use CreateProcess() to start a child process, or
a higher-level wrapper like _spawnl(). Or else use Cygwin.

I use instead to create a new process? Or you may tell me where is it?
