Process Updated

The document describes the creation of processes in C programming, including examples of child process creation, orphan process creation, and zombie process creation. Each section includes code snippets demonstrating the behavior of parent and child processes, along with expected outputs. The document highlights the use of the fork() system call and the implications of process termination and parent-child relationships.

First Code Child Creation:


Code:

#include <stdio.h>

#include <sys/types.h>

#include <unistd.h>

int main() {

pid_t pid = fork();

printf("Fork returned: %d\n", pid);

if (pid == 0) {

printf("Inside Child process");

printf("Child PID: %d\n", getpid());

printf("Child's Parent PID: %d\n", getppid());

else {

printf("Inside Parent process");

printf("Parent PID: %d, Child PID: %d\n", getpid(), pid);

printf("Parent's Child PID: %d\n", pid);

Second Code: Orphan creation

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

#include <sys/types.h>

#include <unistd.h>

int main() {

pid_t pid = fork();

if (pid < 0) {

printf("Fork failed\n");

return 1;

if (pid == 0) {

/* Child process execution */

printf("Inside Child process\n");

printf("Child PID: %d, Initial Parent PID: %d\n", getpid(), getppid());

/* Sleep allows parent process to exit first */

sleep(5);

printf("\nAfter parent exited:\n");

printf("Inside Child process (Orphaned)\n");


printf("Child PID: %d, Adopted Parent PID: %d\n", getpid(), getppid());

else {

/* Parent process execution */

printf("Inside Parent process\n");

printf("Parent PID: %d, Exiting immediately...\n", getpid());

/* Parent exits without waiting for child */

return 0;

Third Code: Zombie Process Creation
Code :

#include <stdio.h>

#include <sys/types.h>

#include <unistd.h>

int main() {

pid_t pid = fork();

if (pid < 0) {

printf("Fork failed\n");

return 1;

if (pid == 0) {

/* Child process execution */

printf("Inside Child process\n");

printf("Child PID: %d, Exiting immediately...\n", getpid());

/* Child terminates immediately */

else {

/* Parent process execution */

printf("Inside Parent process\n");

printf("Parent PID: %d, Child PID: %d\n", getpid(), pid);

printf("Parent sleeping for 15 seconds without calling wait()...\n");


/* Parent stays alive while child has terminated */

sleep(15);

printf("Parent woke up and exiting now.\n");

return 0;
