+'''Multiprocessing test.
+
+PgManager is partially safe against process forking.
+
+You can create connection credentials (create_conn) in main process, then fork
+and continue working with pgmanager in children processes. You can call create_conn again
+in children, but new connection credentials will be accessible only from process
+where it was created -- no sharing between processes.
+
+get_conn and cursor will still work after fork. Connections from parent process will
+be forgotten, that cannot be used un child process. 
+
+Connections cannot be shared between processes, DO NOT:
+ * get_conn, then fork, then put_conn
+ * get_conn, then fork, then use the connection, then .close()
+
+Good usage:
+ * create_conn, fork, get_conn, cursor, etc.
+
+Basically, you can transfer only information from create_conn(), nothing else.
