@jitendra u got it right but parent and child are using the same text region that's why control is transferring back and forth.. try running this code and see that line numbers are repeating...because of same text region it is working like a loop... #include<stdio.h> int main() { int id,i;
if((id=vfork())==0) { //child printf(" %d in child\n",__LINE__); sleep(3); printf("%d\n",i); } else { //parent printf(" %d in parent\n",__LINE__); scanf("%d",&i); sleep(1); printf("%d\n",i); } return 0; } -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Algorithm Geeks" group.
