Stuff

Some miscellaneous stuff that doesn't fit otherwise into the structure…

For example, speed test by ''timeout'' + ''dd'', windows_fork_problems

Speed test

root@ubuntu:~# timeout --foreground -s INT 60s dd if=/dev/sda bs=4096 of=/dev/null  # ad-hoc USB3 storage speed test...

Windows fork problems

On Windows (Win32 API), a process can well have threads, but no fork()-without-exec() is possible, as processes are created to be separate (spawn?)…

The CygWin compatibility layer for Linux/UNIX-targetted programs had to work hard to get something similar going: CygWin highlights: Process Creation (via ansible controller heavy user of fork() without exec())
