gollark: It's two lines, silly.
gollark: I use obviously good and not bad C conventions like very short function names and no comments.
gollark: ```cvoid efork(char **args) { pid_t pid = fork(); if (pid < 0) { perror("fork"); exit(3); } else if (pid == 0) { if (execvp(args[0], args) == -1) { perror("execvp"); exit(2); } } else { int status; waitpid(pid, &status, 0); printf("%d\n", status); }}```
gollark: It shouldn't be doing that. The thing does `exit(2)`.
gollark: Troubling, `waitpid` always seems to provide a value of 512 for status?
