+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn pthread_atfork
+function declares fork handlers to be called before and after
+.Xr fork 2 ,
+in the context of the thread that called
+.Xr fork 2 .
+.Pp
+The handlers registered with
+.Nm
+are called at the moments in time described below:
+.Bl -tag -width "prepare"
+.It Fa prepare
+Before
+.Xr fork 2
+processing commences in the parent process.
+If more than one
+.Fa prepare
+handler is registered they will be called in the opposite order
+they were registered.
+.It Fa parent
+After
+.Xr fork 2
+completes in the parent process.
+If more than one
+.Fa parent
+handler is registered they will be called in the same order
+they were registered.
+.It Fa child
+After
+.Xr fork 2
+processing completes in the child process.
+If more than one
+.Fa child
+handler is registered they will be called in the same order
+they were registered.
+.El.
+.Pp
+If no handling is desired at one or more of these three points,
+a null pointer may be passed as the corresponding fork handler.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+If successful, the
+.Fn pthread_atfork
+function will return zero.
+Otherwise an error number will be returned to indicate the error.
+.Sh ERRORS
+The
+.Fn pthread_atfork
+function will fail if:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er ENOMEM
+Insufficient table space exists to record the fork handler addresses.
