Bindings to the clone3 linux system call.

See the clone3 man page for more information.

This is a complex and generally unsafe operation. Users must understand the documentation to use it safely and correctly.

Examples

use clone3::Clone3;

let mut pidfd = -1;
let mut clone3 = Clone3::default();
clone3.flag_pidfd(&mut pidfd);

match unsafe { clone3.call() }.unwrap() {
    0 => println!("i am the child"),
    child => println!("i am the parent, my child has pid {} and my pidfd is {}", child, pidfd),
}

Features

The clone3 api can cahnge in a backward compatible manner between Linux kernel versions. This crates supports picking the target api through the Cargo features linux_5-5, linux_5-7. The default is the newest kernel version. Specifying no linux feature corresponds to the initial clone3 api.

Structs

Higher level wrapper around the clone3 system call.

Arguments to the clone3 system call as defined in /usr/include/linux/sched.h.

Flags for the clone3 system call as defined in /usr/include/linux/sched.h.

Functions
