No getppid? That seems unlikely?

riscv does return an error mentioning the missing syscall without linking libc (or at least a mapping to it). I'm not all too familiar with riscv or the syscall interfaces in Zig yet, though

If you look at lib/std/os/linux/syscalls.zig, RISC-V definitely has the syscall number. (And this file is generated from kernel sources.)

Are you sure this wasn't about the lack of waitpid?

Simply puts
getpid()andgetppid()intostd.posixby making use ofposix.systemif available. Removes a tiny bit of boilerplate when making cross-Darwin-Linux platform stuff by not referencingstd.corstd.os.linuxdirectly.Also adds a proper test for
getppid(). Kind of depends onfork()andwaitpid()but I'm not sure what the policy of inter-dependent tests are.
