clone - create new distinct client connection copied from old

Synopsis
Description
Notes

#include <sys/syscall.h>
int clone(port_t port);

clone() creates a new connection to the server currently serving port. After a successful clone, the client will have a new connection, whose initial file position, access rights, etcetera, reflect those of the original port. However, future changes to position and such will be unique to each port_t, as no connection exists after the completion of the clone.

The clone() system call resembles much more the POSIX treatment of file descriptors in a fork() than the semantics of a POSIX dup().
