The fork() system call is used to create a new process.
when we execute the fork statement it creates two processes, one child and parent
When we call fork() which return 3 possible values
1) value >0 , indicate parent process
2) value = 0, indicate child process
3) value <0, error
The following figure shows the process tree for the given program.
P is the main process

Systems Programming Purpose: Understand the fork() regarding its returning values, global/local variables declared in the parent's process, and processing Instruction: Attached is a lab.c file containing a fork() statement. Compile and run it. Explain the output of this program. Thing to submit: Submit a word file to explain the following questions: When fork() is executed, what is happening to the returning values in parent and in child? After fork() is executed, how many more process is created? What is the...
Q1) Including the initial parent process, how many processes are created by the program shown in Figure 1? Give an explanation for your answer. You can include an output statement to test and run the program. A sample output statement could be: printf("Testing......"); #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> int main() { /*fork a child process*/ fork(); /*fork another child process*/ fork(); /*fork another child process*/ fork(); return 0; } Figure 1a - How many processes are created?

modify the code for timer_test_02.c to allow the time delay between events to be pseudo- random exponential, with a mean time between arrivals of 0.1 second. Change the limit in the time_stamps() function from 5 time-stamps to 10, so that the mean run-time will be about 10*0.1 = 1.0 seconds. Once this is working, you should be able to generate 10 events with a pseudo-random exponential arrival process.
