PXFFORK
POSIX Subroutine: Creates a child process that differs from the parent process only in its PID. This routine is only available for Linux and macOS.
Module
USE IFPOSIX
CALL PXFFORK (ipid,ierror)
ipid |
(Output) INTEGER(4). The returned PID of the new child process. |
ierror |
(Output) INTEGER(4). The error status. |
If successful, ierror is set to zero; otherwise, an error code.
The PXFFORK subroutine creates a child process that differs from the parent process only in its PID. If successful, the PID of the child process is returned in the parent's thread of execution, and a zero is returned in the child's thread of execution. Otherwise, a -1 is returned in the parent's context and no child process is created.
Example
program t1
use ifposix
integer(4) ipid, istat, ierror, ipid_ret, istat_ret
print *," the child process will be born"
call PXFFORK(IPID, IERROR)
call PXFGETPID(IPID_RET,IERROR)
if(IPID.EQ.0) then
print *," I am a child process"
print *," My child's pid is", IPID_RET
call PXFGETPPID(IPID_RET,IERROR)
print *," The pid of my parent is",IPID_RET
print *," Now I have exited with code 0xABCD"
call PXFEXIT(Z'ABCD')
else
print *," I am a parent process"
print *," My parent pid is ", IPID_RET
print *," I am creating the process with pid", IPID
print *," Now I am waiting for the end of the child process"
call PXFWAIT(ISTAT, IPID_RET, IERROR)
print *," The child with pid ", IPID_RET," has exited"
if( PXFWIFEXITED(ISTAT) ) then
print *, " The child exited normally"
istat_ret = IPXFWEXITSTATUS(ISTAT)
print 10," The low byte of the child exit code is", istat_ret
end if
