fork

[kenguru]

If I have the following code:
{..
fork();fork()
if (fork()) then {}

..
}
What does happend along the lines? The first fork creates a child, but in the line there is no specification that what happend with the child, so the next line where is it place? In the child? In the parent?
Please explain for me.
Thank You,
Kenguru

That looks suspiciously like a course assignment..

It's not a course assigment. We are learning about forks and i didn't understand this example given by the profe, and i would like to understand it if i got something asame at the exame. So, could You explain it to me?

No, because this isn't a programming forum either!

Well, it is not a programming forum, but since we got this far:

There are lots of children in this example, but you aren't doing anything useful with any of them. I'm not sure if that was the point of the example, and your question as phrased makes no sense to me.

But really - take this to a programming forum.

See if this helps: thread205-1035849

If not, that'd be a better forum in which to ask your question.
