- * Name: vfork01
- *
- * Test Description:
- * Fork a process using vfork() and verify that, the attribute values like
- * euid, ruid, suid, egid, rgid, sgid, umask, inode and device number of
- * root and current working directories are same as that of the parent
- * process.
- * $
- * Expected Result:
- * The attribute values like euid, ruid, suid, egid, rgid, sgid, umask, inode
- * and device number of root and current working directory of the parent and
- * child processes should be equal.
- *
- * 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>
- * vfork01 [-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.
