.Fa flags
is a bitmask, with the following options:
.Bl -tag -width FORK_SHAREHANDLE
.It Dv FORK_SHAREMEM
Share the parent's pagetable with the child.
If this flag is not passed,
the entire address space of the parent is copied (no CoW yet).
Any new memory allocations will be reflected in both processes.
.It Dv FORK_SHAREHANDLE
Share the parent's handle set with the child.
The effects of
.Xr open 2 ,
.Xr close 2 ,
etc. will be reflected in both processes.
.It Dv FORK_NOREAP

.Xr wait2 2
calls.
It will be automatically reaped on death,
without waiting for the parent to take action.
.It Dv FORK_NEWFS
Make the child responsible for a new filesystem,
and put its corresponding handle in
.Fa *fs_front .
The handle can then be passed to
.Xr mount 2 .
.El

.Fa fs_front
is ignored,
unless

is specified.
It should be

otherwise.

and the child's PID in the parent.
When not succesful, it returns one of the following (negated) errors:
.Bl -tag -width EMFILE
