Subject: [PATCH] system.3: Indicate MT-Unsafe
Date: Tue, 6 Oct 2020 11:15:20 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201006161520.975-1-nate.karstens@garmin.com> (raw)
The fact that system(3) does not support pthread_atfork(3) also means
that it is not thread safe. See the discussion for the proposal of a
close-on-fork flag in the 2020 April and May timeframe, especially:
