Specifying ‘fork’ as the context:

>>> mp_fork = ivy.multiprocessing(context='fork')
>>> print(mp_fork)
<multiprocessing.context.ForkContext object at 0x7f4e3193e580>

Specifying ‘spawn’ as the context:

>>> mp_spawn = ivy.multiprocessing(context='spawn')
>>> print(mp_spawn)
<multiprocessing.context.SpawnContext object at 0x7f4e3193e5e0>

Specifying ‘forkserver’ as the context:

>>> mp_forkserver = ivy.multiprocessing(context='forkserver')
>>> print(mp_forkserver)
<multiprocessing.context.ForkServerContext object at 0x7f4e3193e640>
