 =head2 FORK BEHAVIOUR
 
-IO::AIO handles all outstanding AIO requests before the fork, destroys all
-AIO threads, and recreates them in both the parent and the child after the
-fork.
-
+Before the fork IO::AIO first handles all outstanding requests - if other
+threads add requests during this period, this time is prolonged. It then
+enters a quiescent state where no requests can be added in other threads
+and no results will be processed. After the fork the parent simply leaves
+the quiescent state and continues request processing, while the child
+starts the same number of threads as were in use by the parent.
