+/* NAME
+/* master_spawn 3
+/* SUMMARY
+/* Postfix master - child process birth and death
+/* SYNOPSIS
+/* #include "master.h"
+/*
+/* void master_spawn(serv)
+/* MASTER_SERV *serv;
+/*
+/* void master_reap_child()
+/*
+/* void master_delete_children(serv)
+/* MASTER_SERV *serv;
+/* DESCRIPTION
+/* This module creates and cleans up child processes, and applies
+/* a process creation throttle in case of serious trouble.
+/* This module is the working horse for the master_avail(3) process
+/* creation policy module.
+/*
+/* master_spawn() spawns off a child process for the specified service,
+/* making the child process available for servicing connection requests.
+/* It is an error to call this function then the specified service is
+/* throttled.
+/*
+/* master_reap_child() cleans up all dead child processes. One typically
+/* runs this function at a convenient moment after receiving a SIGCHLD
+/* signal. When a child process terminates abnormally after being used
+/* for the first time, process creation for that service is throttled
+/* for a configurable amount of time.
+/*
+/* master_delete_children() deletes all child processes that provide
+/* the named service. Upon exit, the process creation throttle for that
+/* service is released.
+/* DIAGNOSTICS
+/* Panic: interface violations, internal inconsistencies.
+/* Fatal errors: out of memory. Warnings: throttle on/off.
+/* BUGS
+/* SEE ALSO
+/* master_avail(3), process creation policy.
+/* LICENSE
