-The norma_task_clone function "clones" a new task from -parent_task on the specified node and returns the name -of the new task in child_task. The child -task acquires shared parts of the parent's -address space (see vm_inherit) -regardless of the inheritance set for the parent's memory regions, although the -inheritance for the child's regions will be set to that of the -parent's regions. The child -task initially contains no threads. -
-By way of comparison, tasks created by the standard task_create -primitive are created on the same node as the parent. -
-Other than being created on a different node, the new task has the same -properties as if created by task_create. -
-This call differs from norma_task_create in that the -inheritance set for the -parent's memory regions is ignored; the child always shares memory with the -parent. -
-This call is intended to support process migration, where the inheritance -semantics of norma_task_create would break migrated -programs that depended upon -sharing relationships remaining after migration. -
-This call is not a true task migration call, in that it does -not migrate the port -space, threads, and other non-address-space attributes of the task. -
-Only generic errors apply. -
-Functions: -task_create, -norma_task_create.
