Fork is perfectly topical in C, just not the aspects of its semantics that
have to do with an address space being copied.
As far as C is concerned, it's just a function that returns a number and
has no visible effect otherwise, so even though it doesn't exist in the
library, we can supply a working definition like this:
#include <stdlib.h>
int fork(void) { return rand(16384); }
