I just installed performer 2.4 on my Linux box (Dell 2x800Mhz PIII, nVidia GeForce 2 Ultra, RH 6.2, XFree86 4.0.2)
and I have a few newbie questions about multiprocessing.

There are references to using routines in ulocks.h (usnewlock, ...) for controlling access to shared memory,
but I don't seem to have man pages on these routines. Where can I find said man pages?

I've done some multi-processing coding, but not with Performer. I understand that pfConfig will fork() off
the secondary processes. Am I correct that the main process retains the APP phase (and whatever is not
forked)? Do I need to have code after the pfConfig for the forked processes to identify themselves and
do something different? I confess I have not had a chance to look at the included demos or the FOP demos.
Are any of these particularly illustrative of handling multiprocessing issues?

Thanks,
