About this document

Advanced Operating Systems Overview by Darshan Parmar is a document available to read on EtoBox.

1. The document discusses process management in Unix/Linux operating systems using the fork() and exec() system calls. 2. fork() is used to create a new process that is a duplicate of the parent process. exec() replaces the current process with a new executable, keeping the same process ID. 3. Together, fork() and exec() allow new programs to be run within existing processes, providing the basis for things like shells and command interpreters.
