Does the the iPhone SDK allow fork() and pipe(), the traditional unix functions? I can\'t seem to make them work.
fork()
pipe()
Edit
You can't fork() but you can use as many threads as you like, and now you even have GCD on the iPhone to help keep thread use reasonable.
Why do you want to fork() instead of just using more threads?
Nope. You also can't exec. You have 1 process.
