Zygote

• java.lang.Object

Fields Summary
public static final int	DEBUG_ENABLE_DEBUGGER enable debugging over JDWP
public static final int	DEBUG_ENABLE_CHECKJNI enable JNI checks
public static final int	DEBUG_ENABLE_ASSERT enable Java programming language "assert" statements

Constructors Summary
private Zygote()

Methods Summary
public static native int	fork() Forks a new Zygote instance, but does not leave the zygote mode. The current VM must have been started with the -Xzygote flag. The new child is expected to eventually call forkAndSpecialize() return 0 if this is the child, pid of the child if this is the parent, or -1 on error
public static native int	forkAndSpecialize(int uid, int gid, int[] gids, int debugFlags, int[][] rlimits) Forks a new VM instance. The current VM must have been started with the -Xzygote flag. NOTE: new instance keeps all root capabilities. The new process is expected to call capset(). param uid the UNIX uid that the new process should setuid() to after fork()ing and and before spawning any threads. param gid the UNIX gid that the new process should setgid() to after fork()ing and and before spawning any threads. param gids null-ok; a list of UNIX gids that the new process should setgroups() to after fork and before spawning any threads. param debugFlags bit flags that enable debugging features. param rlimits null-ok an array of rlimit tuples, with the second dimension having a length of 3 and representing (resource, rlim_cur, rlim_max). These are set via the posix setrlimit(2) call. return 0 if this is the child, pid of the child if this is the parent, or -1 on error.
public static int	forkAndSpecialize(int uid, int gid, int[] gids, boolean enableDebugger, int[][] rlimits) Forks a new VM instance. deprecated use {@link Zygote#forkAndSpecialize(int, int, int[], int, int[][])} int debugFlags = enableDebugger ? DEBUG_ENABLE_DEBUGGER : 0; return forkAndSpecialize(uid, gid, gids, debugFlags, rlimits);
public static native int	forkSystemServer(int uid, int gid, int[] gids, int debugFlags, int[][] rlimits) Special method to start the system server process. In addition to the common actions performed in forkAndSpecialize, the pid of the child process is recorded such that the death of the child process will cause zygote to exit. param uid the UNIX uid that the new process should setuid() to after fork()ing and and before spawning any threads. param gid the UNIX gid that the new process should setgid() to after fork()ing and and before spawning any threads. param gids null-ok; a list of UNIX gids that the new process should setgroups() to after fork and before spawning any threads. param debugFlags bit flags that enable debugging features. param rlimits null-ok an array of rlimit tuples, with the second dimension having a length of 3 and representing (resource, rlim_cur, rlim_max). These are set via the posix setrlimit(2) call. return 0 if this is the child, pid of the child if this is the parent, or -1 on error.
public static int	forkSystemServer(int uid, int gid, int[] gids, boolean enableDebugger, int[][] rlimits) Special method to start the system server process. deprecated use {@link Zygote#forkSystemServer(int, int, int[], int, int[][])} int debugFlags = enableDebugger ? DEBUG_ENABLE_DEBUGGER : 0; return forkAndSpecialize(uid, gid, gids, debugFlags, rlimits);
