When a process creates a new process using the fork() operation, which of the following resources is available for read/write between the parent process and the child process?
a) stack
b) heap
c) shared memory segments.
Please explain the answer fully and also explain why the other 2 options are incorrect.
Homework Answers
Child and parent run concurrently, parent may create another process and child may also create another porcess. To maintain child process separate stack is maintained by parent and child.
When child process is created, the copy of heap is shared. When a child process performs write on heap, the copy is private to child process. That is not visible to parent process.
When parent process makes some changes , private copy is maintained by parent process and not visible to child process.
Answer is option c

Write a program in C using the fork() system call to do the following. The parent process (main program) forks a process (CHILD 1) to compute and print the sum of first n integers where n is a variable shared between the parent and CHILD 1. It also forks another process (CHILD 2) that finds the sum of squares of the first n numbers where n is a variable it shares with the parent. Let CHILD 1 print “The sum...

10) Unlike a signal, which conveys only the occurrence of a particular event and contains no information content, a pipe can be thought of as a scratch file created by a system call. It can be used as a communications channel between concurrently running processes. The interface call to a pipe is similar to that for any file. In fact, the process reads and writes to a pipe just like any file. Unlike files, however, pipes do not represent actual...

Below is a skeletal code of the program. Fork a child process and then use the
parent for reading and the child for writing. This is
just a way of sending and receiving messages
asynchronously.
