This is useful if you want to keep your +process tree clean. For instance if you want all programs +started from inside the same display server instance to +appear to be inside that display if you look inside the +process tree, rather than all processes that loses their +parent being reparented to PID 1 and make a mess on your +process tree. +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +.BR \-\-fatal +Fail if the process cannot become a subreaper. +.SH RATIONALE +It is really nice to have a processes that are running +inside a display server to be a grandchild of the +display server, rather than being reparanted to PID 1. +Especially when multiple display servers are running. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR prctl (2), +.BR pstree (1), +.BR htop (1) +.SH AUTHORS +Principal author, Mattias Andrée.
