Re: Function call and System call fork() Vs vfork():
The basic difference between the two is that when a new process is
created with vfork(), the parent process is temporarily
suspended, and the child process might borrow the parent's address
space. This strange state of affairs continues until the child process
either exits, or calls execve(), at which point the parent
process continues.
