<p>
          This function is used to inform the <a class="link" href="../io_service.html" title="io_service"><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">io_service</span></code></a> that the process is
          about to fork, or has just forked. This allows the <a class="link" href="../io_service.html" title="io_service"><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">io_service</span></code></a>, and the services it
          contains, to perform any necessary housekeeping to ensure correct operation
          following a fork.
        </p>
<p>
          This function must not be called while any other <a class="link" href="../io_service.html" title="io_service"><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">io_service</span></code></a> function, or any function
          on an I/O object associated with the <a class="link" href="../io_service.html" title="io_service"><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">io_service</span></code></a>, is being called in
          another thread. It is, however, safe to call this function from within
          a completion handler, provided no other thread is accessing the <a class="link" href="../io_service.html" title="io_service"><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">io_service</span></code></a>.
