parallel::mc*: Is it possible for a child process to know it is a fork?
When using multicore-forking of the parallel package, is it possible
for a child process to know that it is a fork? Something like:
parallel::mclapply(1:10, FUN = function(i) { test_if_running_in_a_fork() })
I'm looking into ways to protect against further parallel processes
(including threads), which not necessarily are created via the
parallel:mc* API, are being spawned off recursively.
