What is Copy On Write about?

Copy on Write (COW) is a resource management technique used primarily in the fork system call to share virtual memory between a parent and child process. Initially, both processes share the same memory pages, which are marked as copy-on-write, allowing modifications to create copies only when necessary. This ensures that changes made by one process do not affect the other, maintaining process isolation.
