hi, i am new here, nice to meet u guysCode:#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <unistd.h> int main(void) { char *my_args[5]; pid_t pid; my_args[0] = "child.exe"; my_args[1] = "arg1"; my_args[2] = "arg2"; my_args[3] = NULL; puts ("fork()ing"); switch ((pid = fork())) { case -1: /* Fork() has failed */ perror ("fork"); break; case 0: /* This is processed by the child */ execv ("child.exe", my_args); puts("Uh oh! If this prints, execv() must have failed"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); break; default: /* This is processed by the parent */ puts ("This is a message from the parent"); break; } puts ("End of parent program"); return 0; } /* * Program output: fork()ing This is a message from the parent End of parent program I am the child Arg 1 arg1 Arg 2 arg2 * */
