Process Control Module for PHP (pcntl)

This module will attempt to implement all features related to process spawning and
control (fork(), waitpid(), signal(), WIF's, etc). This is extremly experimental, 
with hope to become stable on most UNIX's. I greatly apreciate any feedback, fixes, 
and or suggestions on how to improve/better implement
this functionality.

Thanks,

Make pcntl async safe by registering as a zend extension and grabing the statement handler. There could possibly be a more atomic hook in the future. Also added simple TODO section to README. NOTE: sleep() grabs SIGALRM on solaris, so test-pcntl.php's alarm_handle function will not catch. 2001-06-20 05:42:57 +08:00
