This is dmd 2.047 on OS X
I am trying to convert a small C application.


module fork;
import  core.sys.posix.unistd,
         std.stdio;

void main()
{
     auto pid = fork();

     if( pid>  0 ) {

         writeln( "Child" );
     } else {
         writeln( "Failed to fork!" );
     }
}


$ ./fork
