Process API Practical aspects of OS – system calls and how to use them Process creation – via a pair of system calls [fork() and exec()] why? (ease of use and utility)

fork()System Call Child process that is created is an (almost) exact copy of the calling (parent) process both parent and child are about to return from fork() Child doesn’t start running at main(); it just comes into life as if it had called fork() itself The value child process returns to the caller of fork() is different from the value parent process returns to its caller of fork() Either parent or child would run next – not deterministic (an concurrency issue)

wait()System Call Allow parent process to wait for child process Make the relative execution order of parent and child more deterministic if the parent does happen to run first, it will immediately call wait(), which won’t return until the child has run and exited

exec()System Call Loads code (and static data) from specified executable and overwrites its current code segment (and current static data) with it; the heap and stack and other parts of the memory space of the program are reinitialized. Does not create a new process; rather, transforms the currently running program into a different running program A successful call to exec() never returns

Why fork() and exec() ? Separation of fork() and exec() is essential in building Unix shell It lets shell run code after the call to fork() but before the call to exec() the code can alter the environment of the about-to-be-run program, and thus enables a variety of interesting features to be readily built in shell e.g., redirection ($ wc p3.c > newfile.txt) when child is created, before calling exec(), the shell closes standard output and opens file newfile.txt. By doing so, any output from the soon-to-be-running program wc are sent to the file instead of the screen Assumption: Unix starts looking for free file descriptors at zero (0) and STDOUT_FILENO will be the first available one

kill()System Call Send signals to process
