- * Test Name: vfork02
- *
- * Test Description:
+/*\
* Fork a process using vfork() and verify that, the pending signals in
* the parent are not pending in the child process.
- * $
- * Expected Result:
- * The signal which is pending in the parent should not be pending in the
- * child process.
- *
- * Algorithm:
- * Setup:
- * Setup signal handling.
- * Pause for SIGUSR1 if option specified.
- *
- * Test:
- * Loop if the proper options are given.
- * Execute system call
- * Check return code, if system call failed (return=-1)
- * Log the errno and Issue a FAIL message.
- * Otherwise,
- * Verify the Functionality of system call
- * if successful,
- * Issue Functionality-Pass message.
- * Otherwise,
- * Issue Functionality-Fail message.
- * Cleanup:
- * Print errno log and/or timing stats if options given
- *
- * Usage: <for command-line>
- * vfork02 [-c n] [-e] [-f] [-i n] [-I x] [-p x] [-t]
- * where, -c n : Run n copies concurrently.
- * -e : Turn on errno logging.
- * -f : Turn off functionality Testing.
- * -i n : Execute test n times.
- * -I x : Execute test for x seconds.
- * -P x : Pause for x seconds between iterations.
- * -t : Turn on syscall timing.
- *
- * History
- * 07/2001 John George
- * -Ported
- *
- * Restrictions:
- * None.
