Question

Write a C program ("procs.c") that creates three processes: a parent process that creates two child processes.

The first child should do the following:
- display "First child is born, my pid is ..."
- display ten times the message "First child executes iteration X", where X is the number of the iteration
- display "First child dies quietly."

The second child should do the following:
- display "Second child is born, my pid is ..."
- display ten times the message "Second child executes iteration X", where X is the number of the iteration
- display "Second child dies quietly."

The parent process should do the following:
- display "Parent process is born, my pid is ..."
- create the first child
- create the second child
- display "Parent process dies quietly."
A possible output of this program is:

nova> ./procs
Parent process is born, my pid is 7847
First child is born, my pid is 7848
First child executes iteration: 1
First child executes iteration: 2
First child executes iteration: 3
First child executes iteration: 4
First child executes iteration: 5
Second child is born, my pid is 7849
Second child executes iteration 1
Second child executes iteration 2
Second child executes iteration 3
First child executes iteration: 6
Second child executes iteration 4
Second child executes iteration 5
Second child executes iteration 6
First child executes iteration: 7
Second child executes iteration 7
Second child executes iteration 8
Second child executes iteration 9
Second child executes iteration 10
Second child dies quietly.
First child executes iteration: 8
First child executes iteration: 9
First child executes iteration: 10
First child dies quietly.
Parent process dies quietly.

Explanation / Answer

void main() { int ctr = 1; printf("Parent process is born, my pid is %d ", getpid()); if(!fork()) { printf("First child is born, my pid is %d ", getpid()); while(ctr
