The design of the syscall spawn function draws inspiration from Unix and Linux, hence they share the same terminologies: process, pipe, and file descriptor. The spawn mechanism is used in ckb-vm to create new processes, which can then execute a different program or command independently of the parent process.

In the context of ckb-vm, a process represents the active execution of a RISC-V binary. This binary can be located within a cell. Additionally, a RISC-V binary can also be found within the witness during a syscall spawn. A pipe is established by associating two file descriptors, each linked to one of its ends. These file descriptors can't be duplicated and are exclusively owned by the process. Furthermore, the file descriptors can only be either read from or written to; they can't be both read from and written to simultaneously.
