| 3 | +description: """ |
| 4 | +Spawn is a small library exposing only one functionality: spawning sub-process. |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +It has three main goals: |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +1. provide missing features of Unix.create_process such as providing a |
| 9 | +working directory |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +2. provide better errors when a system call fails in the |
| 12 | +sub-process. For instance if a command is not found, you get a proper |
| 13 | +[Unix.Unix_error] exception |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +3. improve performance by using vfork when available. It is often |
| 16 | +claimed that nowadays fork is as fast as vfork, however in practice |
| 17 | +fork takes time proportional to the process memory while vfork is |
| 18 | +constant time. In application using a lot of memory, vfork can be |
| 19 | +thousands of times faster than fork. |
