Hi,guys
I'm learning libev. But i don't understand about the ev_default_fork flag
of ev_loop. Is this a question of close-on-exec?Like the FD_CLOEXEC fcntl()
flag do? when i need to set the flag?which case this flag is necessary?
This a description of doc:

> This function sets a flag that causes subsequent ev_loop iterationsto
> reinitialise the kernel state for backends that have one. Despite thename,
> you can call it anytime, but it makes most sense after forking, inthe child
> process (or both child and parent, but that again makes littlesense). You

> On the other hand, you only need to call this function in the childprocess

> fork+exec, you don't have to call it at all.
> The function itself is quite fast and it's usually not a problem to callit

> nicely into a call to pthread_atfork: pthread_atfork (0, 0,
> ev_default_fork);
