Easy:
If you're immediately going to
exec
*(), with no
system call
in between, you can use
vfork
().
If you plan to run something which might do a system call (this includes *
printf
(), of course), use
fork
().
In particular, if you're not exec*()ing, use fork().
If you're at all unsure, use fork().
