Hello,

The link in the comment finds: 
The page you’re looking for can’t be found.

/* To run as a background daemon under Cocoa or Windows,
   we must do a fork+exec, not a simple fork.

   On Cocoa, CoreFoundation lib fails in forked process:
   http://developer.apple.com/ReleaseNotes/
   CoreFoundation/CoreFoundation.html)

   On Windows, a Cygwin fork child cannot access the USER subsystem.

   We mark being in the exec'd process by a daemon name argument of
   form "--daemon=\nFD0,FD1\nNAME" where FD are the pipe file descriptors,
   NAME is the original daemon name, if any. */

If I open this in web.archive.org, it redirects a bunch of times, and I
eventually end up at (the still existing outside the archive) address of
https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/releasenotes/CoreFoundation/RN-CoreFoundation/

I'm not really seeing anything about forked processes on that page
though.

Try another (earlier) date.  I did find that page eventually.
