... int fork() turns a single process into 2 identical processes, known as the parent and the child . On success, fork() returns 0 to the child process and returns the process ID of the child process to the parent process. ... NOTE: The child process will have its own unique PID. ... NOTE: The processes have unique ID's which will be different at each run. ... When we spawn 2 processes we can easily detect (in each process) whether it is the child or parent since fork returns 0 to the child. ...
