Can anyone please explain to me the detials of what the fork command does??
Like wat is the Pid of the parent for a child created using this command.. again also it is said that it creates a replica of the currently running process what does this exactly mean??
Do reply Thank You...
The Fork Command has been extensively discussed before in this forum, Please search for that post.
If you are looking for a portable C++ program, use ACE and the ACE_Process::spawn(...) with ACE_Process_Options would be great.
In Unix, you use fork. In Windows you may use CreateProcess so by using ACE you standardize to only one call and that is ACE_Process::spawn(...)
ACE concept is like Java JVM to ensure portability. Worth a second look IMO.
