Hi,
Is there any clean way to fork a process from outside the process itself?
I'm running a commercial application that I only have a binary copy of. All the usual Posix fork stuff only works from inside the running process.
Is there any reason it's not possible to do so? Obviously threading and file desciptors open a whole can of worms, but in the base case, is it possible?
Thanks in advance, and sorry if it's a stupid question.
