>Environment:
>Description:
POSIX.1-2024 has added a function _Fork() which is like fork() but doesn't run the pthread_atfork handlers:

> The _Fork() function shall be equivalent to fork(), except that fork handlers established by means of the pthread_atfork() function shall not be called and _Fork() shall be async-signal-safe.
