/*
* call-seq:
* Kernel.fork [{ block }] => fixnum or nil
* Process.fork [{ block }] => fixnum or nil
*
* Creates a subprocess. If a block is specified, that block is run
* in the subprocess, and the subprocess terminates with a status of
* zero. Otherwise, the +fork+ call returns twice, once in
* the parent, returning the process ID of the child, and once in
* the child, returning _nil_. The child process can exit using
* <code>Kernel.exit!</code> to avoid running any
* <code>at_exit</code> functions. The parent process should
* use <code>Process.wait</code> to collect the termination statuses
* of its children or use <code>Process.detach</code> to register
* disinterest in their status; otherwise, the operating system
* may accumulate zombie processes.
*
* The thread calling fork is the only thread in the created child process.
* fork doesn't copy other threads.
