Ok, I have this program:
/* prog2.c */
Code:
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
int i,j,count;
int pid;
int indent=0;
if (argc!=2)
{
printf("syntax: %s count\n",argv[0]);
exit(0);
}
count=atoi(argv[1]);
printf("each child processed is displayed in the format\
parent(iteration)->child\n");
printf("shell( ) -> %d\n",getpid());
for (i=0;i<count;i++)
{
pid = fork();
if (pid == 0)
{
indent++;
for (j=0; j<indent;j++) printf("\t\t");
sleep(3);
printf("%d(%d) -> %d\n",getppid(),i,getpid());
}
else sleep(3);
}
}
I am trying to get it to produce exactly n child processes when I execute it like this:
prog2 n
Any ideas?
Thanks
