Totally off the record and I plead the 5th. But at a speed dating ring
once I wrote on my pop up card:

I intend to view(6) your port(9).

It passed the censorship dude you paid the $20 to lol. XD

What calls [posix\_spawn(3)](https://man.netbsd.org/posix_spawn.3)? I
searched NetBSD's src tree and found that
[install(1)](https://man.netbsd.org/install.1) \-a and -s call
posix\_spawn() in [xinstall.c](https://nxr.netbsd.org/xref/src/usr.bin
/xinstall/xinstall.c) to run commands. Shells like sh(1) seem to avoid
posix\_spawn() and call fork() or vfork().
