Open handles to files, directories and network sockets
           All open handles are dup()-ed in pseudo-processes, so that
           closing any handles in one process does not affect the others.
           See below for some limitations.

   Open filehandles
           Any filehandles open at the time of the fork() will be dup()-ed.
           Thus, the files can be closed independently in the parent and
           child, but beware that the dup()-ed handles will still share the
           same seek pointer. Changing the seek position in the parent will
           change it in the child and vice-versa. One can avoid this by
           opening files that need distinct seek pointers separately in the
           child.
