Like FreeBSD's rfork and IRIX's sproc, Linux's clone was inspired by Plan 9's rfork and can be used to implement threads (though application programmers will typically use a higher-level interface such as pthreads, implemented on top of clone).
类似FreeBSD的rfork和IRIX的sproc，Linux的clone受到了Plan 9的rfork启发，并可用于实现线程（尽管应用程序的程序员通常使用更高级的接口，例如pthreads，实现在clone的顶层）。
