Whoever invented the term apparently thought fork() was the only

 It is the most natural way in this case, because it creates a complete
copy of the parent process, which is what you want.
 

On VMS it will obviously use LIB$SPAWN or SYS$CREPRC.

 Not only is that more expensive, it also requires additional setup to
recreate the effect of fork(2).

They have one big advantage over fork on VMS.
They exist!
