}))->run();

var_dump($proc->shared_memory['job_is_done']); // null

$proc->waitFor();

var_dump($proc->shared_memory['job_is_done']); // true
```

Downloaded multiple web pages in parallel:

```
$fork = new Fork(job: function(Process $proc, ...$args) {
    $url = $args[0];
    $proc->shared_memory['result'] = file_get_contents($url);
});

$procs = [
    $fork->run('https://some-website.com/page1.html'),
    $fork->run('https://some-website.com/page2.html'),
    $fork->run('https://some-website.com/page3.html'),
];

    echo $proc->shared_memory['result'];
}
