+Process Management And Interprocess Communication
+=================================================
+
+This chapter describes the NSPR routines that deal with processes. A
+process is an instance of a program. NSPR provides routines to create a
+new process and to wait for the termination of another process.
+
+NSPR does not provide an equivalent of the Unix ``fork()``. The
+newly-created process executes its program from the beginning. A new
+process can inherit specified file descriptors from its parent, and the
+parent can redirect the standard I/O streams of the child process to
+specified file descriptors.
+
+Note that the functions described in this chapter are not available for
+MacOS or Win16 operating systems.
