OS Assignment 1 (Daniyal Aqil 193 (E) )

The document contains code to create a process hierarchy using fork system calls. The code in the first example creates a parent process P that spawns two child processes, P1 and P2, by calling fork twice. The second example modifies the code to create a hierarchy where P1 is spawned from P, and P2 is spawned from P1, resulting in P1 being the parent of P2. The output of the programs is not shown.

Section : E
Submitted To : Usama Asif
Question No # 1

Write a program using fork() system call to create two child of the same
process i.e., Parent P having child process P1 and P2.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <types.h>

int main() {
pid_t pid1, pid2;

pid1 = fork();

if (pid1 < 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "Error creating child process P1\n");
return 1;
}
else if (pid1 == 0) {
// Code executed by P1 (first child)
printf("P1 (Child 1) - Process ID: %d\n", getpid());
}
else {
// Code executed by the parent process
// Create the second child process
pid2 = fork();

if (pid2 < 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "Error creating child process P2\n");

Question No # 2

Write a program using fork() system call to create a hierarchy of 3 process


such that P2 is the child of P1 and P1 is the child of P.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/types.h>

int main() {
pid_t pid1, pid2;

return 1;
}
else if (pid1 == 0) {
// Code executed by P1 (first child)
printf("P1 (Child of P) - Process ID: %d\n", getpid());

// Create the second child process (P2)


pid2 = fork();
