Research direction
Start by reading the referenced Kernel32.java CreateProcess implementation and compare its scope with the Unix process-creation request. Investigate how fork() would fit the proposed API and determine the Unix platforms and behavior that must be supported. Done means a reviewed, documented Unix equivalent with coverage for the supported behavior.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
The jna platform jar doesn't seem to include methods for creating processes on unix systems, but it does for windows here.
It would be great to have something similar to that also for unix.
I am a complete noob with native libraries, but I still would like to create a PR for this, so any additional information is very welcome!
It looks like there is a fork() command on unix systems to achieve this.
