> without using fork, exec or posix_spawn ?

Did you manage to forget what you'd read two paragraphs earlier when you reached this bit? Because the essay's first recommendation is literally:

> Only use fork to immediately call exec (or just use posix_spawn).

It seems difficult to infer "don't use exec or posix_spawn" from this.

Ofc I read that. I think a "only" was missing in the sentence, hence the confusion

posix_spawn or vfork+exec
