# Test2::Require::RealFork(3perl)

Skip a test file unless the system supports true forking

## NAME

Test2::Require::RealFork - Skip a test file unless the system supports true forking

## DESCRIPTION

It is fairly common to write tests that need to fork. Not all systems support forking. This library does the hard work of checking if forking is supported on the current system. If forking is not supported then this will skip all tests and exit true.

## SYNOPSIS

```
    use Test2::Require::RealFork;
    ... Code that forks ...
```

## SEE ALSO

- Test2::Require::Fork

  Similar to this module, but will allow fork emulation.

- Test2::Require::Threads

  Skip the test file if the system does not support threads.
