Editor's Notes
- Pid -> integer Number -> Unique Number for each process
- init process -> serves as the root parent process for all user processes kthreadd -> creating additional processes that perform tasks on behalf of the kernel sshd -> managing clients that connect to the system by using ssh (secure shell) login -> managing clients that directly log onto the system
- The parent may have to partition its resources among its children, or it may be able to share some resources (such as memory or files) among several of its children
- display the contents of a file —say, image.jpg— -> name of the file, name of the output device
- The new process consists of a copy of the address space of the original process. Both processes (the parent and the child) continue execution at the instruction after the fork(). The child process inherits privileges and scheduling attributes from the parent, as well certain resources, such as open files. /bin/ls -> The child process then overlays its address space -> used to get a directory listing. Child process completes (by either implicitly or explicitly invoking exit()).
- CreateProcess() -> requires loading a specified program into the address space STARTUPINFO and PROCESS INFORMATION -> Structure. STARTUPINFO -> specifies many properties of the new process, such as window size and appearance and handles to standard input and output files. PROCESS INFORMATION -> contains a handle and the identifiers to the newly created process and its thread. ZeroMemory() -> allocate memory for each of these structures. Use the parent’s existing environment block and starting directory pi.hProcess -> passed a handle of the child process.
- All the resources of the process -> deallocated by the operating system Parent needs to know the identities of its children.
- entry in the process table -> until the parent calls wait() -> process table contains the process’s exit status. Zombie Process -> A process that has terminated, but whose parent has not yet called wait(). Orphans Process -> Now consider what would happen if a parent did not invoke wait() and instead terminated -> Linux and UNIX -> assigning the init process as the new parent ->The init process periodically invokes wait().
