Child processes Memes

Ah, the gentle bedtime reading for Linux developers—a chapter on "Process Primitives" that escalates from "Having Children" (fork() calls) to "Watching Your Children Die" (handling terminated child processes) in approximately 0.2 seconds. The progression from spawning processes to murdering them, with a nostalgic pit stop at vfork() for the greybeards, perfectly captures the existential horror that is Linux process management. Nothing says "totally normal operating system" like documentation that reads like a serial killer's manifesto. And they wonder why therapists ask Linux developers if they're "killing children" at work.
