UNIX fork() equivalent in Windows

Hello everyone,

Does anyone know if there's an equivalent in Windows to UNIX's fork() system call?

I have a system already workin in UNIX, but now I need to create a similar one in Windows, and the only thing I've found is the spawn family which would be the equivalent to exec.

Thanks in advance

I don't think there is an exact equivalent, but you can use CreateProcess() to get more or less the same functionality.

Since the question has already been answered I'll give you some advice. You should use the cygwin compiler. It is a native unix compiler that uses a windows wrapper to port programs written for unix to windows without any changes to the code.
