I'm trying to modify the following code to:
-display the process ID of the parent
-fork 16 child processes from the parent, displaying their process
IDs
I know this is a simple problem, but I'm having a lot of trouble figuring it out. So far, I've modified a few ways that end up giving me endless loops of created processes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
#include <unistd.h>
main() {
int child_pid ;
printf("Parent process PID = %d\n", getpid()) ;
if ((child_pid = fork()) != 0) {
waitpid(child_pid, (int *)NULL, WUNTRACED) ;
}
else {
printf("Child process PID = %d\n", getpid()) ;
}
}
